Request for Radar Ring Toggles
« on: June 28, 2010, 05:22:14 PM »
With the new changes to the radar range I'd like to request a toggle system that goes beyond the simple "on/off" button.

Would it be possible to add a toggle or selection that would all you to cut on/off the rings for each side's radar circles, IE Knights, Rooks, Bishops? Could you also make so you could cut on/off the rings by base type,IE Airbase, Vehicle, Port, CV?

IMO this would help de-clutter the map in the MA's and I know it would help alot in scenarios where radar circles can sometimes be 50 miles in diameter.

Are you talking about being able to this for individual countries, rather than just the simple right click on the map options we have now?

Well I mean for it to be like the simple right click option only with more...well options.

As an example I like to see where the enemy radar coverage begins so I know when I'm radar and when to start expecting contacts. However, I don't really need to see my friendly base radar circles as I'll see the enemy contacts no matter what. (granted the radar tower is up) The problem is the map can become very cluttered with all those overlapping circles and it can be very hard sometimes to see where the enemy circle starts and ends. This is even more visible in scenarios, if you've ever played the Battle of Britain scenarios you'll know what I'm taking about.

I've never played the game, but I wouldn't mind a change in how we view radar if the new extended range is sticking around.  It's no longer important for me to know where the circles start or stop because there are few to no gaps I need to worry about, but I'd still like to know if the radar is up or not.  That might be a little off topic of what you're saying though.

While I know it's not THAT big of a deal to right click on the map and select/deselect "show radar", it would be nice to have a programmable key or button press for this.  Kind of like how the 'highlight squad' option has a hotkey for it.  It would also be nice to have one for spawn points as well.
