New Radar Down Only an Hour?
« on: July 23, 2010, 12:36:54 PM »
Has anyone else noticed that when the new radar ring diameter and lower dar bar setting took effect that the radar only stays down for an hour???

I've tested this more than once in the Blue arena.

That's not a bug.

With the new base layouts and towns, should work out pretty well.

So, the bug is the radar is staying down too long?

Hmm... I was under the impression that the radar stayed down 2 hours, just like the other OBJ able to be destroyed on a base (ammo bunkers, fuel depots, and barracks).  If the attackers were able to destroy the incoming resupply convoys then those strategic OBJ stayed down for the maximum of 3 hours (if 4 convoys were destroyed).

I'm quite confident that there is a change in the amount of time radar stays down now when the radar setting changed. 

HTC... can you comment???

Maybe HT needs to update these. Also you have to remember a FEW players do re-supply
