Large bish noe mission shows on radar
« on: January 25, 2012, 09:59:20 PM »
A large Bish noe mission ( 5+ sets of b24s 10+ 110s and 3 c47s ) came into the radar ring at a24 tonight and as soon as they hit the radar their red dots showed.

So is this a bug or is this something new in the recent update?

Over 65ft in a dar ring they will show, i could be wrong tho.

If they are at 70ft in the dar ring, they show, darbar or not. Alot of people can't seem to understand this. To solve such a problem, take out the dar, as darbars don't show until 500ft (I think 500). Planes such as a goon require constant adjustment because it will naturally go over the 65ft simply because of it's inclination to gain altitude at such a low height.

Once again:
Radar Up: <65ft    -----radar dots
Radar Down: <500ft    ---Darbar

Yeah DMGOD's right, they were pretty low to the water.  I came in from the south of them at about 10- 12k and saw the whole bunch of them on their run in.  When I pulled up my clipboard they were definately showing dot but not bar dar until they started to climb a little.  As for their true alt, I couldn't guess as I dove from above looking for the goons.

I think drones will not fly under a certain elevation after forming up, unless about to land.... perhaps they are the culprit?...  If so, then the question is, working as intended, or not?...


Also, this could be a radar issue, I tried mowing weeds in my Dora last night (a couple K above sea level, but dodging the tree tops in high terrain), and either there were a couple extremely observant players in the region, or now that I think about it, might of been dar.

I saw a couple things that made me wonder if something wasn't right last night.  I saw a few enemy planes that looked to me like they were under 65 on the water show up on dar.  Now, it's pretty difficult to tell if they're at 60 feet or 70 feet, but it made me wonder.  Might be worth it for an interested party or two to conduct a test.

No more NOE hiding under radar deck.  You can't keep a public mission below 65 feet, it's just impossible.

I'm still trying to figure out why I can hear a 163 as he intercepts me at 35k feet before an enemy dar bar displays.

Um... the NOE altitude is 250ft for the radar bar, and 65ft for the radar ring.

Nothing has changed.  The **icon** range was halved for NOE aircraft.  That is it.

Drones stay at like 200ft, BUT they don't show on dar, only the 'main' bomber does.
