Harder Radar
« on: November 05, 2007, 01:24:59 AM »
I wish the radar was a bit tougher.  I get tired of a good fight being interfered with via the Mach 1 Tiffie, Niki, or 190A8 zorching through with a quick burst of cannon that smashes the radar.

Let's at least make it so that it takes 500 lb-equivalent damage to drop.  That should make the one-pass wonders have to turn around at least once.

What is even more annoying is the one person (im not gonna mention his name) that flies 20K over the fight to the enemy base, dives in, misses acks and radar on purpose to vulch everyone taking off :mad: . Every time I see a 190 doing this I always check the roster to see if he is on.

As for hardening radar, yes I 100% agree. :aok

You mean you don't know? :lol  It's YGBSM (wonder who picked that cute name out for him :D  ). Ever since the day I first noticed him on all he's done is fly past the fight and vulch in his 190.

totally agree with this suggestion.

The radar is just too easy to destroy.  Least a couple of bombs!

make it as tough as hangars maybe? maybe a little less? please? Was just playing and watched from tower as a Lgay-7 dove in from 20K (yes 20K), flew past 15 rooks taking off, takes a few shots and radar is destroyed.

Agreed, radar needs a higher hardness setting.

I do that occasionally in my A-8 (or a D-9) if I've had a particularly frustrating night in the arenas.  It allows me to blow off a little steam and re-gain my focus.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I rarely strafe them down anyway...but I hate seeing them blow up with 100 shots from a pony.

Yes, harder radar please, at least takes a 500LB to take it out.

I frequently do buff dar raids to knock out enemy dars with 250LB's. Only takes one well placed salvo and there down.

Im all for harder radar. It should at the least take as much punch to kill as any other somewhat hardened target. At least 250 lbs.

Then you are wasting ord... a 100 lbs bomb dropped from a formation will take them out.

He probably had to come in at 20K. We all know Rooks always take off at 15K. ;)
