New radar = boring ...bring back old radar
« on: August 22, 2010, 02:48:01 PM »
I now know that Aces High is going total arcade... no strategy on offense or defense of bases .... total furball ... might as well make it like the dueling arena.... 2 bases and you can fly your plane in F3 mode... this is getting boring.....

I never read about any WWII bases covering each other so close. Most radar couldn't go through mountains ...the new radar is a cluster....

Old Radar - notice gaps....couldn't tell where every flight of every aircraft is coming from.


New radar every base is covering each other .... easy for newbies and non planners = LW Dueling Arena  :joystick:



Becoming very boring!   :frown:

You come across as an absolute tard with all your "....another subject..." nonsense.  Just FYI if you want HTC to actually listen to you.

It's easy for the newbs to find the fights now.  But it is also easy for the vets to find the newbs and slaughter them mercilessly.

Maybe just ask for a more real radar system in game next time.....NOE would probably be even harder for you. btw way to attack an undefended base in the second picture....your awesome

You don't like what the guy wrote, so you call him a tard? Whats up with that? He said that he doesn't like the new radar. Whats wrong with that? I think he has a point.. I don't like the current set up either..

How do you know it is undefended? Couldn't there be 100 Flak Panzers waiting for them? If you look above at A8, it looks like a gang bang going down and it isn't the Bishops doing it...

Finding implies hunting. There is no finding/hunting as it is already presented for the player's convenience.

Yeah I agree, old radar settings were better.

I don't mind the NOE being modified, but the high alt aspect of always being 100% on the scope on the way to enemy strat bothers me. We tried to pork a path of radars into it at one time, but downtime was too short for what we were doing. I don't mind the fight, but leave a little tactical aspect in the game, please.

You are correct. Look at the old radar in the first photo. There are cons in 17.5 and 18.5. You cannot see them, but the dar shows that they are there.. Now the guy in 17.6 must try and find them.. Good hunting.. Are they buffs or fighters? What direction are they going in? This is what I see missing from the game now days.. The hunting aspect of it...

And this modification hasn't even been very effective in regards to it's original intent ;)

It's not what he wrote it's how he wrote it.
