Are there any other colorblind players?

I, like 1/5 of the worlds population, am red-green colorblind. This has not caused a significant challenge in the game, except for when attacking from above(especially tanks). I cannot see the red lettering of the names against the green grass.

Tanks are much more likely to be destroyed by me on the snow covered boards.

Anyway, was wondering if there were any others out there? Do you have similar problems? If so, have you found anything to compensate?

Thanks,
PH

It's easy to tell the difference. DENT'S dress is red, his teeth are green. Count yourself as lucky. I'm BLIND and have to "braille" to figure out who is who. Tough on a touch screen.

Seriously, what exactly do you see? Does red always look the same? Do the colors "blend" together?

If you see FLYMAGIC he is ALWAYS on your team.

Paul, it really just the red names against the red grass/fields that I can't see. As you said it just blends together.

Anyone that says that is an issue is full of it. I can see the blue fine.

I'm also red-green deficient. Along with some other colors. Google Maps' traffic colors are totally useless to me. In Dogfight, much of the game is not color dependent, but I agree, tanks on turf are a little harder to see.
