...AH felt better without it.

Was the 1st time you really could bring up some suprise attacks.

In my opinion, the game was more intense, had more opportunities to choose from.

The remaining bar dar gave a good idea were to find action, but atleast u had to find ur tgt and u were not guided to it.

Yep, it was nice having no enemy radar in the MA. Dar bar does plenty to let you know where the action is without giving you the radar SA crutch.

Ahh the dot dar lets you track that enemy 262 from over a sector away as you prepare to try and bouncem! +)

Dot dar should ONLY show stuff above 25k imo. And globally too. This will allow 25k+ buff raids to be seen from afar and have the defenders have time to scramble.

Anything below 20k shows on bar dar. Anything below 500ft AGL will not show on bar dar.

Have to admit, I liked it better without enemy dot dar also. Increase your SA and gave you a chance to bounce a little more.

Also radar cover behind a hills and mountains should be add to.

This could bring some excitement to MA

They should make it so that you could disable the enemy's dot dar, before launching an attack. Maybe by bombing a radar tower or something.

You can eliminate the enemy dar...that is the big grey thnig in front of the tower. It blinds that field.

I think enemy dar should be implmented. Perhaps 1 per field as we have it and then some scattered stations like Southern England had during WW2.

This would make defending "dar" very improtant.

There is, its called HQ. You bomb it to heck, the dot dar would go out.

The planes attacking HQ would have to go below 25k if they want to avoid being spotted on dot dar from afar. Heck, a Mossie attack may even do the trick flying NOE

Good point Tac...I think it would be cool to have stations setup that cover "sectors" that way you could blind the enemy as you advance.

That might make it too easy to keep the enemy blind tho..and make the whine factor go up.

SKurj · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2001, 11:25:00 AM »

no bar dar under 500ft ....

A field under attack should be able to report as such. GV's or aircraft can attack under 500ft and noone would ever know.. Did the town or base not have a communication system? +)

Why is 500ft the magic number?

Assuming the radar station is at sea level, and you are flying 500ft over the water (sea level again)- then why wouldn't the radar station be able to pick you up?

I don't know anything about radar (except that terrain was used to keep from getting detected- canyons and stuff)..

Would appreciate technical answers.

I wouldn't mind having it off if the sectors were smaller.
