Dar Bar

[Ack-Ack]

Did they have dar bar in the war..NO

Not quite like we have in our game but yes, there was a form of 'dar bar' in the war in the form of plotting tables.

Umm no your whine is teh fail.
Why don't you do a little reading on how that big board worked.

[Ghosth]

Sorry Jolly, I have to agree with AckAck.

That is exactly how it worked back in the day.
Pilots would be briefed by the information collected on the big board.

There was a LOT of work behind the scenes that the average person never saw.
Radar, pilots observations, coast watchers, info coming in from resistance cells, etc.

All of it was noted, plotted on the big board, collated, collected, checked for accuracy.

Sector bars and radar as they are modeled are actually a very good representation of all that.
With a few nods to gameplay thrown in so that you the player can actually find a fight.

no it had an error the first time i looked at the pics, not at the pictures.

But i understand now,   sooo increased radio chatter=big mission taking off?  ok then, that'll do <S>

Those guys on the phone don't seem terribly concerned there are a couple of zombies on the other side of the window.

I always find it humorous that people keep asking for the creators of a combat game to make it easier for them to avoid all forms of combat.

why not most of the "aces" in the game avoid combat at all costs.

After reviewing rule #4 all I have to add is .......no. New dar is cool and promotes fights. Fights are why we're here right?

[greens]

Sounds like a whine wish.  Someone is upset at the radar range changes because it makes their NOE hord raids more difficult to do and easier to spot.  I guess it's easier for some to try and get things removed from the game instead of adapting and coming up with new tactics.


ack-ackYAH i suggest they get rid of that pesky pdweeby38 and the dweebly runo9 too  . IMO poor jokers jokers n vrejects cant noe horde now, what i wanna know is how in the hell so much of Limbos missions got spotted even tho we was NOE and going to a diff bas everytime about 15 to 20 nme fighters was upping whenw e showed up.

Sorry about this post, was having a BAD real life day and things got to me real easy. Wished I could just remove this post. Sorry again, stupid post

BUT you all did bring up something in your pictures and great pictures they are. What is in most of the pictures you showed.....people...so maybe radar should have to be manned.....I know NO! But food for thought
