Radar
« on: February 11, 2000, 01:02:00 AM »
I was flying over my country border at 15k, I took a look at in flight radar and I only saw one enemy dot and in my quadrant there was only  one small square. I saw one B-26 under me ( 6.5 from me ) and I started to dive into her, then I saw tracers from behind and ka-bum someone had killed me.
I don't understand why the radar didn't show me the 2 enemy dots ( the B-26 and fighter ) or a rectangle in my quadrant.
So, how does radar work in AH?

Thanks!

The one enemy dot(small dot) you saw was probably within your field radar when you saw it, the enemy that jumped you was most likely outside the view of your field radar when you checked the map.  The large red square in the corner of the grid means there enemies in that grid, note enemie(s), could be one, could be more.
