ummm...i think it is under 200ft no offense..

under 500 means the enmey cant see your dot but you show a darbar

under 200 no dot or darbar

try it out in the training arena....

You know I don't think we ever got a clear answer on this one, I think we need to take another look at this and get some evidence together. (or ask HT) :aok

Under 500ft and your dot will not show up on radar to the enemy when you are within the enemies radar circle.

It's more beneficial to fly under 200ft though, 500 is just the maximum alt to avoid radar, either dot dar or dar bar.

The closer you fly to the deck, the harder it is for the enemy to visually see you since your icon may not show until 3k away due to the water covering your icon.  It also depends on the angle the enemy is to you.
Time's fun when you're having flies.

i need to emphasize that the under 200ft not only doesnt show a dot but ALSO doesnt show a darbar (i.e. upper corner of quadrant)

so under 500ft...no actual little green dot on enemy dar

and under 200ft no dot OR darbar

just reread kermits post and he is saying under 500 doesnt do darbar...my expereince as perhaps the most prolific 110 noe raid leader is that when it is just us in a quad and someone creeps above 200 we see a darbar...when we ask that person to get back under the green darbar goes away.....

any clarification from the higher ups would be great:aok

The problem is: You can check out alone, since you never see yourself on DAR counter anyway. Kind of the same for dot radar.....

Best bet would be to get two people to c´heck it out in the BuMA. Asking HT would be..... almost cheating ;).






PS: i always thought it was 200 ft as well, but i heard people say thats because drop alt for torpedos is 200 ft max....... i always stay around 150 ft if I ever need to be NOE (rare, since im usually trying to pick a fight anyway).

 if was a darbar u can bet he wasn't 201 ft but was 500ft. and yes many times noe and someone climbs  to hi . but to put this to rest if you don't trust hitech or dale. get buddy turnfilm on both planes test it. watch map and you'll se darbar 500ft..............

Schatzi dear... radar has always been 500' for dot and bar. It isn't a mystery -  unless you never checked arena setup during all the years you could view it, or it has been changed since yesterday.

Also, the height/speed guidelines people have told you about torpedos are a myth. It depends on the torpedo model.

The world is full of myths and people who spread them without verifying them. Why should AH be any different? :D

NOE is under 500'.

The all mighty Flossy corrected me on that issue when I said it was 200' way back.
