Just the sector bars, please

You can think of it this way:

Having such an AWACS like radar makes destroying it that much more valuable to your cause.

As it stands now, most squad night planning should have the destruction of Radar as step 1 to most missions.

I think the time it stays down should be increased.

This I disagree with, currently, you must earn the right to have the enemy radar removed for a longer period of time, thus the destruction percentage of the city.

seems no one wants the same thing.   that being the case then maybe the way it is/was set up is best.   I think it's fine as is.  Unless you can get Ai in the tower to "vector" you to cons, what we have is as realistic as it get's.   Seems a little too easy to knock out tho.

Good ideas Eagler, but the AH player base isn't large enough for that yet. I think these decisions(for right now, anyway) have to be made with the single MA in mind.

cc banana. I agree as ppl ratio pertains to arena map size. A small enough map would fill up quick. Don't get me wrong, I think AH is great as is. Just think limiting radar would eliminate many whines as EVERYONE would have to be more precise in their flying and actions. But as stated the newbie would take his $30 elsewhere if they had all of that thrown at them at once. It's really a $$ thing as most business decisions are.

And I don't want to sound like the sky is falling or anything. AH is fantastic, even with the dots. There's always room for improvement, however. This is one small change that could be tried very easily, and if it's a disaster, can be changed back in a matter of seconds. What could it hurt?

No in-flight radar of any sort please.

obviously funked, no in flight radar  is not gonna happen, so we have to come up with something that has the possibility of happening.

that being said, I believe AKDejaVu's post above makes a LOT of sense and I would like hitech's opinion on it.


To me it offers the best mix of gameplay and realism

I'd rather see dar stay the same over friendly bases... but change these things:

• No dar whatsoever over enemy bases
• No dar whatsoever for aircraft flying NOE (think that should be lower than 500 ft.
• CV groups have dar similar to fields.. but show sector bars in adjacent sectors also
• If a friendly plane is in an enemy sector, sector bars are visible in that sector.  Plane needs to be x miles into the sector for that to work to keep people from flying circles at the corner of 4 sectors

This topic has been getting alot of discussion on the gameplay feedback/issues forum:

and if a friendly plane spots visually (within range to clearly see all components of a CV group) it shows up on radar and slowly fades away after the friendly plane loses contact with the enemy CV group.

Of course this would probably be a large strain on the server for my idea...

No dots or sector bars when inflight.

Only when you are in tower, I bet on that it is the best solution, and most historical correct, methinks.


Actually we had lots of fun in WB when a squadmate sat in tower and directed us towards the red dots HE sees on his map.

And please bring back night

I'm going to buck this trend. I like things just the way they are. If players don't like the radar they can simply refuse to open their clipboard. I do not want some "purists" limiting my game just because they don't like a particular feature.

This is a game not a historical recreation.
