New announcement: Radar Settings

[texastc316]

Tardnation will find a way. Win t eh war!!

We have already seen the first successfull NOE'S with the new settings. Maybe the hordes will just get bigger too, and more FH dropping.

That is my thought too. First thing that will go is going to be F/H's. This may be even worse for the furballer types.

[Wobbly]

cant see the point myself, still its the same for all sides, will just lead to bigger hording missions IMHO

I like it!

1 down, 2 to go.

(edit): Pyro, you do realize that the challenge is completely lost by allowing them to use auto level, right?)

You haent flown many NOE missions have you?  Auto level often is only good over the water. Over rolling terrain this new development should be considerably more challenging.

BTW I am in favor of it.

To me it doesnt matter because when I go NOE I actually enjoy dodging the trees.

I think this will just lead to larger hoards.

Not Happy, really really not happy with the new radar settings.  I take a lot of noobs on NOE missions and It's hard enough keeping them below 200 feet let alone 65.  Wasn't a 200 foot radar deck about standard for the Cold War?
Also, I would like less radar range.  The old range gave plenty of time to intercept incoming planes as long as we flew an appropriate plane to intercept.

  200ft was a myth it was 500ft or below.

[hitech]

rvflyr is correct, it has always been 500.

Keep in mind hordes have many sizes, shapes and flavors in AH.  Not ALL hordes are bad, but many can be and almost all are situational (IE: sometimes it's better to be the horde, and othertimes it's better to be the horded).


And if we needed any more proof that this change is to lead us away from the NOE bread-n-butter base taking strategy, how many people here in this thread assumed the ceiling to be at 200' previously instead of the 500' that it's was set at forever (and anyone who cared to research it previously could of easily found it) due to the number of these raids organized and ran as such?

   I like it

The only problem I have with these new settings (and I haven't been on yet with them) is that I will have too much down time from the time of the base flashing till the time they all arrive.....I'll end up daydreaming whilst flying around waiting to put a thorn in their base taking side.......


Buuuttt that's what 200's for...shoot the breeze....before I start whining about being ganged and vulched  hahaha

The tears of unfathomable sadness, yummy

LOL!!!  Yummy, Yummy!!

I dont fly noe so much these days, I do like taking bases however.

What disturbs me is the sacrificing of realism to appease a certain percentage of the community. People are always gonna horde and as I posted on 200 this evening 1 guy alone can stop an noe, 1 guy aint gonna stop 15-20+ hi alt cons coming in above the cloud layer, warning or not.

once again how effective was ww2 radar?

Where did this new settings sacrifice realism?

It will still end up being about the numbers on each respective side.Just run a few missions at the same time and stretch out the other teams manpower along the front...

  All sides will be weakened by this as far as taking ground.The maps will just SIT until TTuesdays I believe,The furballers will not be happy when their hangars are taken down (which will have to be done)..99% of the time,any bases taken have hangars down,unless noe or a "sneak"..

  I dont really mind the radar being stretched out a bit,but I think 65 AGL is a bit too low..I would like to see it at about 150..                                                      Falcon23
