I really liked that event. It still showed platoon/squad member on minimap (with tanks anyway) but it didn't have the magical spotting like the usual Sim battles. I hope they'll keep this as the usual for Sim
What I mean by that is there is notification of kills or damage done, who you shot down etc.... did it let you know how you did on the results screen afterwards?
wierdwesterner This footage is from the in-game recording system so the kill / hit cam is gone and he has minimised the window that shows the event messages. In the full-sim mode they tested you only had the messages, player chat, and hit cam. There were no friendly or enemy indicators on the mini-map (other than friendly ac, and for a short time, friendly ground). Mini-map also showed cap points, spawn points, and you had a ticker at the top. Player info screen was still available and the mission end screen was the same. I played this a few times and it was fantastic (except for a totally inexplicable team-kill in my first match). Never had so much fun playing a flak truck than in this mode. Players actually worked together (or at least not actively against each other), they communicated, called out targets, thanked enemies for good play, and never called each other noob. Good fun.
wierdwesterner Yeah pretty much what Thorwulfsson said. It was replay footage, and the UI in the replay is all kinds of hideous so I just used the hide UI keybind and recorded it. The only difference between this and what I actually saw was the chat box in the bottom left, and the Ticket progress tracker at the top center.
I don't wanna say I got robbed at the end, but I definitely got robbed at the end. Further review of the replay footage and my cannon rounds totally smashed all over that crew/cab of the truck on that AA vehicle. MUFUCKA SHOULDA BEEN DEAD!

What happened to all the labels and stuff?
