A Lesson on Dar and Radar

[Rolex]

Thanks for the correction, I do recall the change to 250 ft AGL after the last reversion on the oversized radar range correction. I know it got confusing for a lot of people after those changes.

Bar dar altitude is 500' AGL. You can check by opening arena settings and environment from the clipboard while offline.

A lot of guys are just paranoid about spies.  I suggest posting such intel on your own country channel instead of 200 for 2 reasons.

1.  200 goes to all countries, they may have assumed you were communicating from the country who was doing the NOE raid.
2.  I hate hearing about what's being said on channel 200 from my squad.

200 is for teenagers.  It's too big of a distraction too.

For not tuning in to 200, it sure does seem to bother you.

[Rob52240]

Yes I suppose it does, but only when the squad is in the middle of something and somebody is giving a play by play of what's being said on 200.

I'll try to be more tolerant of channel 200.

Do those setting automatically translate into what the MA's are?  Just curious.

Ok, I digress,

I'm assuming the last used MA settings translate to offline, yes.

However, they could very well be automatic, or 'default' settings as well.

More excuses.

miss the part about you slandering my squaddie did you?

[Gooss]

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

Of course there's nothing wrong with it.  Just like there's nothing wrong with a squad without one.

HONK!

Offline settings differ from Online settings.   Otherwise one would suspect that the arena map, the weather,  the ack lethality in field/town, and the bad-word count would all be the same (currently set to 0).

I have flown in the LW on NOE runs and seen dar bar pop up as others go above 250ft agl.

From the man himself:

No, you must be above 250 to appear on sector counters.

p.s.: I really wish the forum search would work...

but then what would you do between charts? You might feel lost and we don't want that!!

I could do much more, much better charts if I didn't had to spend my time browsing all postings manually to find the specific one I'm looking for!

show us a chart proving that!

that... and there would be a some type of way for players to know what the setting were when logging in to a server.  An arena message if nothing else.  If it were that easy, I'd like to see the radar and dar-bar detection altitudes changed frequently.

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.

Too bad the vTools don't discourage vDALLAS from acting like an arse and sending PMs every time he runs from a fight or gets his arse handed back to him.
