If you think this bug is incredibly important to fix, download this zip
Im just saying, someone who isn't me could be doing this multiple times to fuck with people and all you can do is hope he doesn't have a dynamic ip

If you have health bars on permanently you can see the chinook easily.

How does downloading this zip fix the bug? Someone with a dynamic IP could fuck up games in a bunch of ways, if he did this you can just quit?

I never claimed it would fix it (although awareness is a step forward).
I'm just conveying a genuine nuisance in a light-hearted manner.
And I want to waste peoples time, so far so good

I play with that option and unfortunately you can't see.

True, i was watching it from "All" and though that the health bar should show up for all players in range. Odd that it doesn't and even odder that the shadow is hidden too from the enemy's perspective too.

In my experience it isn't really a problem - all factions can take advantage, and it punishes the top spawns which have an ore mining advantage on a lot of maps (so it balances that out). Short game is on 97% of the time, and if someone wanted to do what Anjew did in the 3% of games with short game off, you can quit? I like Anjew more than the next guy but this is making a mountain out of a molehill. We should be focusing our energy on campaigning for a mammoth tank speed boost.
