Grizz is spot on. 65 feet is really to extreme. 100-150 is the way to go. It is a challenge without being ridiculous.

With the new radar system in place, what do you think AH crew will do next to change the arena settings?  Lower the icon range down to 3K or 1k?

Lets here your thoughts on what they might do?

Nothing for a while I would bet.  That way HTC can see what effect the radar settings changes have made.

It ought to be in the 100-150 yd range, if you wanted to call it "Challenging" Nap of Earth.
300 to 450 feet? or did you mean 100-150 feet?


Sorry but the whole radar whine is silly.

Spent the past 2 hours researching WWII radar capabilities  :rolleyes:  While the 20 mile dar rings are a pain in the butt, Hitech is being generous by ONLY implimenting 20 miles as by late war the ranges were from 200 - 300 miles.  Could you imagine what that map would look like  :confused:  However, altitude detection......I was only able to find facts from 1939 - 1942 (early war).  In which it clearly stated ground based radar minimum alt detection was 200 - 250 feet.  Sea based dar........you figure it out, if they can pick up the conning tower of a sub...... :aok  

Between 1940 - 1945 there was one heck of a "Radar" advancment war going on behind the scenes.  While the axis powers continuously lost ground, both US & Britain took the lead and developed dar.  I finally gave up on finding late war minimum alt detection specs, but with the radar race in full swing during 42 - 45 I can only assume to 200 to 250 deck dramatically dropped by wars end too.

That being said, I agree, the 65 foot ceiling is rather low and I'd like to see a happy meduim.  Dar rings don't bother me, if they get in the way.........."Go Kill Em"  :D

I wouldn't mind a 100' deck limit. 65' is extreme IMO. THERE....I SAID IT!  :bolt:

Meh, that's not why I'm making these points.

i know what your point is, just giving you grief for the fun of it.  I do agree that they should have the radar to 100 or 150ft.   65ft, where did they come up with that?
