TheLongShanks Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Can we get a detailed description as to what is changing between the options. Is it affected by light and terrain? Distance or also time spent looking at the target? Auto seems to be an overtuned cheat or testing option that we won't be using on multiplayer servers, I now realise auto is following the mission options! I could have figured that out on my own. ... and Realistic could be nice but it takes an unrealistic amount of time in my testing for Petrovich to tell the difference between an infantryman and a vehicle, and still is unsure if they are enemy after they are shooting at us. For vehicles it seems somewhat better. The in-between options are more interesting, Simple and Labels Only, but I am interested in what affects the speed of Petrovich's IFF.

I suspected this. Do the simple, labels, and realistic override this? Is there a chance we can get the numbers for each option? Edited July 22, 2022 by TheLongShanks

TheLongShanks Posted July 25, 2022 Author Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) After reading the PDF from the Apache forums: On realistic settings, it takes an inordinate and unrealistic amount of time for petrovich to switch from GROUND to INFANTRY. I understand that this is based on the geometry of the angle of the size of the object, in this case infantry, in comparison to his view. This is unrealistic because at the point where he has recognised an APC, he is still unsure whether he us looking at a man or a truck. This would be one of the first things he knew, and the geometry factor has made it the last thing. Perhaps this can tuned. Edited July 25, 2022 by TheLongShanks 1
