Radar and NOE
« on: June 23, 2010, 12:19:19 AM »
New Wishlist Item.

Put the radar altitude profile back to 200 ' from 65' . Put the radar range back to 12 miles from 20 miles.
Your really messing up our cross country 110 NOE missions. Those trees and windmills try to jump up and get me now..
End of Wishlist!!!

Not sure about the radar deck, but +1 on the radar rage.

Radar now overlaps other bases. Look at this picture for example, see that red dot at A96, the poor guy probably just put his gear up and I already know that he's there.





The 20 mile radars can perhaps be used for future maps where bases are not that close to each other but for these 20 miles is just way to much.

I preferred both the other way. 65 ft is just too bloody hard, even with outside view engaged (for those what have it).
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Oh no, looks like you might have to fight the uppers, rather than vulch them on the runway!

As was said by someone influential here, NOE is now a work of art by master mission planners.

Also, the radar floor was at 500ft, not 200.

I believe the radar floor should depend on the terrain, but that would just be to hard to create.

Nope, it wouldn't. The radar setting are in the Arena Settings, not made in the terrain editor. I myself could set it in a minute or less...that has to say something about how easy it is... :lol

Can you do it for every since base separately? As terrain changes throughout the map.
And I'm pretty sure the radar coverage will be a perfect circle, so if you have water east of the base and a mountain west of the base the radar coverage would be the same, when it reality it would be totally different.

If that's already possible I'm going to go make a new thread  :)

Negative, I thought you wanted it dependent on what map was being played at the time, not the curvature of the landscape.

But can you at least change the radar rings separately? For example A1 has a radar ring of 12 miles and A55 has a radar ring of 20 miles?

Looking through the Arena settings offline, I doubt it. Highly.

No, you can not change individual range. The range and radar floor settings are universal for all bases.

Practice makes perfect, take some more NOE raids to our bases so we can get some kills, maybe start a good fight.

i like the 65 ft NOE its fun(over water :lol)  but the base will not flash because the radar over laps so if a con is ib well in the dar circle base wont flash because he is still in his dar circle but and in ours the base dont flash its a bug pls fix :pray
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.
