Can someone explain to me what this one is / means? Pantsir-S1 — erroneous recon ability has been disabled.

Thank you for the changes you made to naval. If i could suggest one more thing?  That green aiming circle that you have can we get a way to disable that?  So that we can not have it get sent to 15km away because something behind the ship your aiming at distracted it and it suddenly changes the range from 5km to 15km?  Also you have ground units in the game within range of ships guns.  Right now because of the lil green aiming thing you cant really target them. But if we didnt have that we could guesstimate the angle we need and adjust the range by using the plus/minus controls you already have implemented.  Just a simple on/off for that aiming thing is what i suggest.  

 

thank you again for the changes to naval , we are seeing a lot more players now and the que times are getting shorter.  We still have a Bot issue but hey its still a improvement over the way it was a month ago.

Aircraft cannons still deal no HE and Fragmentation damage. All reports are stopped citing that damage is random despite undeniable proof that it is not random in any way shape or form. WiIll sth finally be done about that or are planes like the Yak 15 now simply meant to be utterly useless?

APDS is still absolutely broken and bug reports are being closed and marked as fixed prematurely

Can you please either remove that stupid "click" sound that is played whenever you click something in the hangar/menus or at least give us the option to disable it? I hate those needless annoying "click sounds", they are irritating like hell and do not contribute anything useful.
