Oleg already answered it, but I would like to add this: I tried BOBII and didn't like the roundels at all. Yes, true they are more aesthetic. But I found it took me everytime a split second too long to identify if the roundel was british or german. Also, they give no info about distance if I remember correctly, like Oleg's arrows always have. In a combat situation I thought although they looked nice on screen, they were not very practicable.
The "3D" arrow cone in CFS3 was nice in the sense that it gave you a good hint on the relative angle enemy vs you, but it was always only activated for one enemy at a time (the selected enemy) and was ALWAYS in the dead middle of your screen -- an incredible stupid decision if you ask me.
Ideally I would like a combination of both...Olegs arrows and super quick identification with distance hints work just great, add to that maybe a 3D version of one of those arrows for the selected enemy giving you relative angle.
I don't know, just thinking loud here.
