New announcement: Radar Settings

[Bronk]

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?

How effective was ground spotters and listening posts.

How did the BoB go again?

Where did this new settings sacrifice realism?

when the radar dropped to what, 65ft?

Granted the game radar has to have balance between realism and game terms, but dropping it was purely to comfort those who whine about noe

How is that less realistic than the across the board 500 ft setting?

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.

Trying to think of something witty that hasn't already been....ahh screw it

please dont focus on the actual altitude of the dar limit, you know that aint my point.

No I don't.

But let me quote you again:

That's pretty clear. Your point was realism was "sacrificed". Now I just want to know: Where?

What settings are less realistic than before?

Logic trumps Emotion (whine) everytime.

you don't get how much i love this... although i NOE raid sometimes, i love the new settings. It will stop the constant raiding and uber milk runs for Win te Warz people. (yes, sometimes im the WtW people too )


Edit: also... I LOVE CHALLENGES!!!

[Babalonian]

Lets talk about how realistic every single tree in the game being only 15' tall is.  How about all the objects in this game taller than a 25'-tall windmill or grain silo?  That's still an unhealthy and unrealistic 40' NOE margin... oh wait, i guess if you can't auto-pilot a portion of the distance and keep the throttle to the firewall then entire time then it isn't a realistic NOE raid, now is it?

/end sarcasm

       I LOVE THIS THREAD!

This is my last post on the topic since I have appeared to have wandered from a general discussion to a trolling zone.

WW2 did not have radar that covered 65ft alt.

and just so I am absolutely clear, this was done purely to appease the scoretard whiners who dont like noe.

done here.

[grizz441]

Way to bow out in style.

I'm Letalis and I approve of this thread. (And the reason for it) 

I think we're gonna see a "HTC: Radar Altimeter PLEASE!" thread pop up in wishlists soon

Note the universal "scoretards" accusation.
Actually if you are into score above everything else you will be against the new rules... you absolutely need base captures in goons for a good score, and thatS' far more difficult with the new settings
