Mod to new radar settings
« on: July 09, 2010, 10:10:04 AM »
OK, ok..... I'm getting used to the new extended radar settings and perhaps, just perhaps...it hasn't ruined the entire game :D  However I would make the suggestion that since the radar is now a more significant strategic target, its down time be extended to an hour (from 45m?) and require a bit more resupply effort to bring it back up.  This would make porking radar in advance of other strategic initiatives a bit more effective and add some value to better defending the radar resource.  Just a thought.......

only takes one mindless idiot with a 190 to suicide strafe it, down time is fine unless they harden it.

Perhaps they could both harden the radar and increase downtime? Just a thought.

 This would be fine as I use my tactical bombers B-26 or KI-67's to pork bases anyway... At alt like a real bomber I may add. :)   Dar just needs to be down longer after I pork it so it would actually be worth porking.

I liked how the old zone system worked where if you didn't capture the zone base down times were the max if not player resupplied. Since coming back I haven't made as many Dar/Ord Jabo runs, down time really makes it not worth it.

And yes Plazus i'd be cool with that.

Just to let it be known i like the changes, I fly defense 85% of the time and CV cover so it's made those a bit easier for me.

there's 3 others here so far and in a discussion where I would agree with a longer down time which wouldn't exactly be any advantage to how i fly 85% of the time.

Be careful or the next BIG Forum and ch200 whine will be about the suicide 190-Tiffy JABBO radar porkers. Ohhhh theee iinnnHUMANITY........... :pray

Any of you remember that whine from AH1 when they would suicide pork the fuel to 25% along with troops, ammo and radar? The whining about ruined and unfair game play was epic. It was a bigger issue than HOing I think. Play this game long enough and everything comes full circle because you guys WHINE about how everything in the game is unfair to your personal Aces High fantasy. And some of you get so mad at HiTech when his answer is:

Already seen that, heard it all before, just play the game, I'll write the COAD.<-------I think he says it more politely than I just did. :bolt:

Anyone remember if we whined this much back in the AW days???????? :eek: :confused: :huh :rolleyes:

looking for the whine in here but only see a civil discussion except for a couple posts that have nothing to offer to the thread. Did yall squeak and complain about topics this much in AW?

Well what I got from the post was "Lets make radar stay down longer and harder to bring up quick so I can hide better!". Now I'm not sure if that is a whine about trying to get dar back to the way it was in a different way or not, but me thinks that might be what Mr "K" is referring to.  :P
