Sorry for a noob question, but....is there a set time to show up? And can I just show up alone or do I need to be in a squad?

Any time you want.  If you go in and nobody's there go find something fun to do and you'll eventually be surrounded :D

Actually went in and had a blast. One thing though, is it my eyes or the map? Seems like things are shorter range than on the MA maps.

Unfortuantely I couldn't stay too long, but had some awesome engagements trying to protect V231 from the P-51's and P-39's.

yes.  The AvA uses a lot of specialized maps, and many of them have sector sizes smaller than the standard MA ones.  And because the AVA also often utilizes various radar (base) settings, it can be a challenge to determine the size of the sector without doing the maths provided by radar settings.

The AVA, in the recent no-icon for enemy phase, also often made dot dar global and down to the deck. Whether this pattern will continue (I hope so) with the newly brought back 3k icons for both, I dunno.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

radar rings have been reduced to 39000
bomber warning has been reduced to 15800. this means dots will show up, but they wont flash the base unless within the 15800 feet.
icons should be about 3k for everything.
