I am basically only flying WWII, and love the possibility of getting lost. I have just now being told the possibility to always get your exact position marked on the kneeboard. This, and the knowledge that everybody seems to be doing this online, abolutely ruins immersion for me. I do not want GPS in WWII.

Please, PLEASE, disable this, or make it a server option.

 

Thx!

It is already an option that can be enabled for the mission that the Server is running ... it just depends on their Admin or whoever edits their mission:

Thats not what he meant. He means the Kneeboard marks that allays shows you your exact position on the map.

I have been playing a bit of WWII online lately and the kneeboard functionality is absolutely essential unless you want 70-80% of the players being lost, running around in circles. Remember, we are limited to Slots and airfields too. Joining up with a friend that must spawn at another airfield? Good luck with that without kneeboard markers. 

In theory it's great to slap on as many realistic restrictions as possible, but it's hard to get good gameplay going that way. Not having labels either means that a majority of players have difficulty seeing other aircraft, even when they know the exact area they are in. It's at a point I know several players jettisoning their canopy to aid finding  aircraft by sound.

DCS WWII multiplayer was saved with Normandy 2, but it's a fine balance. It's still on life support with 1-2 big servers running. It needs to be somewhat accessible or the 80-100 player servers will disappear real fast.
