high alt fights rule - no pickers

I understand the reason for the low dar range, but having the dar ring out so far it even covers your own base is a little much. You can't even take off of your base on some maps without the enemy knowing just where your at. So they either need to make the base's further away from each other ( which no one will like ) or at least shorten the tower radar on maps where the bases are close to each other.

Or just flu NOE until it's time to climb.

Why should we have to noe off the base, we should be able to climb out to meet the enemy without the enemy seeing us on there radar just off our base. The tower radar is to close to enemy bases ( on some maps ).

On a scale of 1-10..........

1. Grizz doesn't care if someone announces on 200 from the tower at the field he is upping a J3 Cub with a Nerf Gun that he is on his way to fight you and he will tell you himself his location personally to let you get a 262.

10. NOE and radio silence is the only chance you will ever have to survive Grizz's J3 Cub.

Five and up to one just want to fight with whatever they fly, drive or cruise thru the water. POTW and AOM live by that philosophy in the game.

If you are complaining about the current radar situation because it's TOO reveling for whatever reason you are a six down to ten. Do you want to fight or not? Fighters have a common attiude. Whatever is thrown at them, they will adapt and overcome it. Why are you complaining?

Fight!

As I can tell, since this has been put in place, there's a dedicated group of guys from each country who make a point of killing dar damn near EVERYwhere. As it stays down for 45 min.....not so much an issue as would first seem

Well, just remove base dar then and make dot dar arena wide, so you can see any dot, any time, anywhere. After all, do you want a fight or not?

Yep. So much for actually hunting.

They might as well ! The dar cirlcles are ridiculous.

And while they're at it, make the dar dots show differnt colors or something so I can tell what altitude they are at.

Think we have that already.....lets see....WWI arena

[bustr]

Sounds like HiTech will have to place a 200 perk price on "Nerf Guns" and charge Grizz $50 per/m with all this Hoopla over Radar......

No body wants to fly bombers above 12k to be safe.<---But, They want to fly under radar to undefended bases to be safe.
No body wants to be seen on radar to be safe.<---But, They want to pick once they get 12k over a furball to be safe.
No body wants to be seen attacking anything to be safe.<---But, They convince a suicide porker to ruin his own score now to take out all base dar for 6 local bases to be safe.
No body likes HiTech forceing them to fight in the light of day.<---With NOE they could sneak around with the illusion they were controlling some aspect of the fight in their favor.

So why don't those who dislike everyone else in the arena being able to see them now pettition HiTech to create a Star Trek space combat game with Klingon and Romulan cloakable rides so you can fly around invisible and shoot everyone else with no risk?.....That would be safe...right.......

Oh, Sorry I forgot, eventualy in the Star Trek universe you could track those invisible ships on DAR by takion leak emissions...ooops<---not even this is safe...Oh well....

Was able to put some game time in tonight in LW Orange. 91st & company put up seven flights of B17's with volunteer escorts. Altitude leveled at only 18K. Targets were three Rook fields, specifically hangars. Rook resistance was sparse and easily supressed. Targets all hit with excellent results, one base retaken as a result. Granted, this is only one mission I'm addressing, but it seems so far, bombers are going to have an easy time of it. I hope you bad guys prove us wrong like you used to do. What happened?

Altitude leveled at only 18K.

They were probally screaming on country what Alt monkeys you were        sounds like a fun run 

[Tarstar]

I say that the Win teh Warz guys should be happy that they even have an NOE option anymore the way they have abused it so much over the years.  I say take NOE out all together.  That will end the history debate - which is a silly debate anyway for a game that is far from historical in the MA.  

I think it would be fairly accurate to say that NOE, as an overused, dominating tactic, has be removed from the tool box.. Is it still possible? Yes, in certain situations especially on maps with lots of water.. Practical? Not really.. It is going to be interesting to see how it changes the dynamic of the game.. Hey I'm happy to admit that flying NOE was the very first thing I learned to do when I started out.. Most missions posted were NOE and they were fun.. Did my learning to really fly and fight suffer because of this, certainly..

Hitec, obviously felt this change was needed for his own reasons and I have no real qualm with it at all.. I'm still going to love the game.. But I don't think the complete and total banning of any "tactic" is a good idea.. The option to do many different things, hated or not, is what gives this game a diversity that is unique..
