A Lesson on Dar and Radar

[oTRALFZo]

is there something wrong about having a command staff in a squad?

Not at all. Especially in a squad. People enjoy that kind of structure and its important to keep interest up to keep this game alive.

My statement is poking fun at Guppy's remark because if  some players choose to be developed under this type of structure, they tend to think that everyone else should or that they are "better" than this person. And lately this has been a current trend in the MAs that if everyone is not on the same page, they are scum.

Perfect example: I logged on for just a very quick sortie or 2. When I got to an unfreindly feild that had a couple of cons upping from the runway, there was a freindly at the spawn in a M3 and had asked me to take down a few guns in town so he can get the capture. Sorry but at the time, I just didnt feel like getting my arse handed to me by computer guns and my time was limited to be wasted. But I was berrated because I wanted to have my own fun.

200 just doesn't go well for me. Think I will go back to the old channel 19!

When I want whiny, harassing name-calling, I just talk to the ex-wife.

200 >>> detuned.

Back to the subject matter, fellas.

I too come across a good number of players who do not know how this concept works.  I wish there was a way to see the server settings, an arena message would be perfect.

The DAR-BAR setting is at 500 ft above the terrain (I thought it was 250ft, but regardless).  That effects everything ABOVE that altitude regardless of where you are at on the map.

The RADAR [ring] setting is at 65ft.  If the radar has not been destroyed then everything above 65ft can been seen as a red dot.

Ok, so as it would seem I have recently been pegged as a spy, cheat, and some other not so flattering descriptions. All of this because of the Dar/Radar thingy!  It seems a certain squad has decided that the shoe fits and I must wear it. Foul I cry, foul.

One of the first steps to enjoying Aces High for years is to not care about what other squads think of you, but concern yourself with what your squad/friends think of you.

Please report this to the Command Staff as soon as possible.

Last I heard the G3 Staff were still working on mimeograph machines and typewriters, I think they are a little overwhelmed.

I thought the subtle "foul, I cry foul" gave that away

Tell them they're not supposed to be on 200.  Because they're not supposed to be on 200 and they're NOT SUPPOSED to talk about whats being said on 200.

Feel free to remind them of this.  You can even threaten to tell on them to vDALLAS.

This is our job, now?   

Do I at least get an honorary vTard secret NOE mishun decoder ring?

Isn't that the first rule of Fight Club?

The Devil's Brigade discourages tuning to 200 because they use text channels extensively. Vox channels can get clogged if there's more than half-a-dozen guys, not even taking into account all the chatty guys in Range. Mission commanders use voice as much as they can but most orders are repeated in text. In combat pilots are encouraged to use vox only when absolutely necessary, and to use the text buffer otherwise. 200 hogs the text buffer and a transmission can be buried in a matter of seconds. Mission Awareness is the biggest reason tuning to 200 is frowned upon in the Devil's Brigade.
