Yeah, possibly. However dar bar would give us more fights, and I for one is in this for the fights not necessarily to win the war. The objectives set for the "war" are means to get good fights in a good arena, the way I see it. Thrila was pointing at the fact that the arena with it current settings favor the side which concentrate on offense and disregard defense. The fact that the allies have two GV spawns next to axis strats, and that at both these strats axis GV spawns are
farther away from the strats therefore they have a longer drive to their own strats to defend than the allies have to drive to attack it, makes it impossible to defend them. These strats are down completely, axis have little chance of defending them at all. Nevermind the allies 3 air spawns vs axis 1, it's not that much of a factor. These two imbalances are enough though to tilt the whole setup in the allies favor regardless of planeset.
Have patience with me though, as I'm not complaining, merely pointing at facts. I do not care much about whether allies are favored in the setup or not, it's not about winning for me. The victories I care more about are the tactical victories in the air. We can have fun regardless of winning or loosing BoA as a whole. The LW lost these battles historically, I think I can handle loosing a computer game. I just want to experience a little bit of what it was like for the guys who had to do this for real.
Given the tools to detect a raid as it comes in axis could have a fair chance to intercept. Right now axis have little chance of successful intercept because the raids don't show up until they are over the target area. While it is absolutely necessary to down bombers inbound if you are to protect your strats at all, bombers that already dropped their load become completely irrelevant. Still, you have seen me on many occasions attack bombers on their way back. Why? Because I want a fight! It's a challenge to shoot down bombers, especially the way some allied buff jockeys shoot! Add to that the fighter escort and it's a really tough challenge!
The same conditions and arguments are valid for allied bomber intercepts. With one huge difference, the allies don't have to intercept bombers cruising at 250 mph, or faster, at 30k with fighter escort at 36k. Now axis could easily put their fighter escort at 40k but it would be of little use up there as the bombers can't get up to 30k! Dar bars would make it easier on bomber raid intercepts for both sides. Making intercepting allied bombers challenging but not impossible and to handle axis bombers is a breeze in comparison. Now if axis had the He177 the allies would have something to worry about! As it is, axis only have the Ju88. While the 88 is fast, it wouldn't last 10 seconds flying next to a B17.
You said that only minutes into day 1 axis had a complete map over your airfields, not true. Dar bar does not give a/c type id nor altitude, we did not have dot dar so axis couldn't see exactly where you upped from only a rough guesstimate of airfield locations could be produced without knowing which types upped where. Given some time though, it could be figured out. With dar bar it would be the same for both sides, mind you.
Assuming there would be a 200 ft base alt for radar, you could easily up somewhere, stay below dar for a while then pop somewhere else to climb. Easy enough for you?
Fighter baiting was a popular way for the allies to further challenge the LW interceptors. They never knew what really was up there until they could get a visual ID. Fighters show up on dar bar too you know. Easy enough for you?
Allied bombers take a heavier bomb load than the axis Ju88s, they go farther, faster, at higher alt and with better defensive firepower. Easy enough for you?
Just stating facts. I'm questioning your motives, because dar bars would ensure that we get to fight eachother. Now if you don't want to fight us, I would understand your reasoning for not having dar bars. This game is all about aerial combat though. Why would you want to log on to bomb a strat target in "easy mode", with no wind at all, from 30k without facing opposition? Is that
fun? <S>
