I think there's been plenty of feedback on these players who either have no names (due to asian character names) or short-letter names (taking advantage of this being allowed). It clearly is a combat advantage, especially when they are tanks, but also a slight advantage in the air.
If this advantage continues without a game correction, many of us will simply use these names, and the social aspect of the game will deteriorate. I suppose you can debate that point, but IMO people will be less passionate to play the game if you don't know who you're fighting. I sure am tempted to pick up a "dot" name, but currently, I'm still holding out for a fix. However, it's incredibly frustrating to get my butt kicked by swarming nonames, knowing that I might tip some advantage my way if I were just as stealthy.
Maybe this is just a problem with me being red-green colorblind, but a reasonable percentage of this audience has the same or similar problem, and game makers often consider that dynamic when creating UI's.
My proposal is to force any name, however short or kanji-charactered, to display X's left and right of the name to fill out a three (or even four) character total on the flight viewing screen (score display can be left as is), plus any spaces anywhere would be substituted with either "X" or "_". A single character kanji name would become "XXxX" onscreen, the single letter name "M" would become "XXMX", the single punctuation "." would become "XX.X", ". ." would become ".XXXX.", and "Man fred" would become "ManXXXfred".
This would minimize name advantages, and discourage people from gaming the names. It would restore the social aspect of the game- at least for english character names, with people no longer encouraged to name themselves something unrecognizable just to gain an advantage.
If we can't incorporate something like this or something that meets this goal, the following things may happen for me, and I suspect others too:.
1) I might change my name to a short or kanjia name to level the playing field and leave it to raw skills.
2) My interest in the game will diminish, with more and more players doing the same thing.
That would be a sad turn of events.
