Dar bar and GV's
« on: October 30, 2008, 01:13:12 PM »
Guys,

Silly comments aside, why do GV's produce a radar (aka dar) bar?  It seems a blinking town with no dar bar should suffice to indicate a presence of a GV.  Easy to distinguish.  You would think radar would be dedicated to those objects above 200 ft in altitude only.  I am curious what the logic is for this.

Thanks for explaining,

WT

I do not believe that GV's produce radar of any type.

If a GV falls off a 1000ft cliff and no ones around to see it, will it create a dar bar?

Guys,

I guess I received incorrect information.  Been wondering about this for weeks.  I heard it from multiple sources (channel 200 and range communications if I remember right).  Yep, 200 net the best source of facts.

Thanks for clarifying.  :aok

GVs make a base flash when they get within so many feet of the town/base.

and darbar only shows for planes above 500ft  of ground level.

Only until it reaches 500'.

Skuzzy said 500ft at one time.

On one map I was high on a mountain in an Osty and the factory Puffy ack was shooting at me.

Mindanao had such an airbase. Was located at >3k next to a cliff, and down there (at the shoreline of a lake) was a strat target. When the enemy now was in possesion of the zone base, you were under puffy ack fire the moment you spawned on the runway or rolled from hangar :D
