Really though, chain capture is about as fun as watching this over and over again.   :aok



Nice Hijack bro  :aok

OH MY God :huh Cold war television in the USSR really sucked.

I saw an interview with that guy about the song. It was about a cowboy or something but the commies made him change the lyrics to that jibberish because it was too "American".

I want that song as my ringtone. :D

Could you please reimplement chained base capture?
 :devil

I was very seriously considering it until I though about just changing radar settings first.

At the moment I am considering changing some down times of radar factories so radar can be taken out for 2 hours with a little bit of effort.
And possibly changing range to 18.

I like those changes Hitech, it seems people are most concerned with radar for some reason. Making the radar strat more of a target will be interesting, but I'm curious to see if it is abused by a side that has more players.

We'll just have to try it and see.   :)

Can I talk to you to get it down at least to 16?  :pray

I'm basically flying most of my missions in base defense (particularly vs bombers), so I do actually have more benefits from having larger dar... but I don't see really any good in huge overlapping circles, and at 18, they will still do it. Combined with 65 dar altitude you can very often see enemy planes immediately when they taking off from their fields, that's a bit too much. Being spotted by a Vbase in the next sector right at takeoff... Reminds me really of the DA ;)

It doesn't allow for lone buff guys to get at least some obscurity on parts of their route when going for deep targets (and giving the interceptor (me) the opportunity to use his brain a bit). Huge missions don't get that much advantage from having smaller circles, as a massive darbar already attracts lots of attention - but with continuous radar cover and no more "clever routing" the chances for a single guy are much lower.
And yesterday there was a enemy horde over one of our bases, a complete red darbar, FH's down and no green around. I was going to hunt them in a fast plane... unfortunately they had dar cover over our base due to overlapping dar circles ;)

I see the point in reducing the dar alt (though I find 65 a bit too harsh), but I don't see increased base radar ranges having a bigger positive aspect, or leading to "more fights"...maybe just to bigger missions/hording? As I said in the other thread: Maybe increase the warning range instead of the dar circle? Or set both to 16?


To be honest... I didn't even see a reason to increase circle dar range in the first place  :uhoh

radar=12 miles


radar=16 miles



radar=20 miles

I suggest noe alt to 70-75  feets too.

Let's consider that not all ppl have super graphic card on board and big monitor too.

That is the single worst performace in the history of music video, thats the 5th friggin time I've watched it.  More fascinating than any train wreck.  If I'm the cameraman on that I keep peeking out from behind the lens just to confirm it's real, while I am begging for the pain to stop, please just make it stop.

I did a little history search on the making of that video. Of those involved, 3 people committed suicide, 2 came out of the closet, 1 had his ears and eyes surgically removed, and the singers mother ran off with a dwarf who owns a company that paints plastic flowers.

Thanks for the pic, Bronk. Up to now, I had no idea what this thread was about.

Armed with a clue, I do not like the concept.  There are already natural chains on most maps.  Gv spawns direct a lot of the traffic in the current set up.  Range, field altitude, field size, etc. guide decisions enough.

The map you posted reminds me of the line to get on a roller coaster.

I see it as giving you warning and time to climb to 20K to intercept BUFFS on the way to pork your field and have a chance of getting to altitude and into position before they drop versus, what seems to have been the norm, chasing empty bombers past the field.
