I'd like to see us C-47 drivers be able to select an option where we are invisible to friendly radar when below normal radar coverage heights or (if that's tough to implement) at all times. Why? For the past couple of months on squad night when we fly against one unnamed country (it doesn't happen against the other) our C-47s that have landed early and are in hiding are methodically picked off by fighters. Sometimes they are located quite a distance from the action. What is disturbing is that the fighters fly directly to our landed and somewhat concealed C-47s without any prior hunting around. This is now the norm rather than the exception when flying against this one country on squad nights.

The obvious explanation for what is happening is that someone has two computers at their house and one of their computers is set to Aces High in my country. The guy with two computers then gives headings for his countrymen to attack targets that are registering on one radar screen but not the other. Stationary targets are a sure giveaway for C-47s. Someone is gaming the game and a modification to the Aces High program will remove this cheat.

What else may be going on is that you have a spy in your ranks. You said its only been happening on squad night, correct? An unnamed squad (I would name it save for etiquette, and that I feel skuzzy would suspend me for it as an accusation of cheating) got a spy in a mission, and had him report the exact location, vector, and target of our mission. Sadly, no one thought to check the rosters for quite a while when a bunch of new faces started jumping in.

Really quite sad when some people have to cheat. For them, its all about the kills, and not how they are obtained. And perhaps they just like to ruin things for others. Why else would we have vandalism for the sake of vandalism? "I'm sorry, you don't break glass bottles in the street, and key random cars, so you aren't cool".

The game already senses if you are on the ground  (limiting f3 mode in fighters) so why not turn off radar blips for all aircraft on the ground. (which would also be the most 'realistic' option as well)

That ain't a bad idea at all.

This is the main reason some guy getting his Joly's to keep enemy v-base flashing for ever with no intention of fighting or base capture.

You can see V-base in the back ground. This base was flashing for 45 minuets until I announced on 200 I was on my way to get rid of him he towered out when I got within 6k.

Arenas can be set now such that all freindly ac below radar coverage height will not be visible on radar (just as is the case with enemy ac).  No COAD is required just an arena setting adjustment.

So the point is what would be the subsequent dissadvantages to game play if all freindly cons dissappeared below dar (ie not being able to see your own NOE missions on dar?)

Apples and oranges sir.  Your point, although valid, has nothing to do with the Op's request.  Those fool's will still flash vBases for no reason.  IMHO

This is the main reason some guy getting his Joly's to keep enemy v-base flashing for ever with no intention of fighting or base capture.

AFAIK that was changed some time ago (1+ yrs?), bailed pilots dont flash bases anymore..
