You will never get an complete mission under 65' unless it's full of seasoned sticks. 9 times out of 10 you can't keep everyone under 250' (always 1 or 2 lost souls). Then there is always the few that fly at -1' (but not for long).

Take the dar out or come in high to begin with.

Saturday I was keeping an eye on the Rook front, and kept noticing a phantom bar in the middle of a sector out of the way.  I upped a K4 and sped out to investigate.  Ran into a mission with NOE lancs, but high escorts, managed to kill 1 lanc and 2 of the escorts and give the warning on the incoming of the mission.  All of the escorts ended up going low and the Lancs had to go into the grinder by themselves.

An hour or so later saw a dar building between a couple sectors and went out for a look.  Ran into a gaggle of 30 P40E's at 20K.  I was able to take a few passes through the gaggle at high speed, picked up one right away.  Then I had a pony try and bounce me.  He made a horrible pass, ended up 1.5k back, so I made another run through the P40s.  Missed on this pass and the pony was back in.  Few turns later, I was on his 6, he dove to the deck and ran 2 sectors back to his base.  <S> Skishill, great fight  :joystick:  :rofl.

Anyways <S> to the Rook front this weekend.

As for Dots where they shouldn't be, the little update patch seems to have fixed this.  Even at near arena cap over the weekend, I didn't notice the issues from earlier in the week.

In relation to this, last night I was having Enemy Radar dots showing up on the map at an airfield with no Radar.  I asked on local, and quite a few other people saw this same thing.  They eventually disappeared after about 3 or 4 minutes, but long enough for me to get a very good idea where the guy was hiding to pick people taking off in sector.

I think it was a couple nights ago I saw enemy radar dots inside a dead radar ring of the enemy.  When I got to the plane that corresponded to the dots it looked like it was constantly shedding something, like a shadow peeling off the plane every 5 to 10 seconds. Was a p51 I think anyway not a bomber.

I miss noes.

Used to spend alot of time map watching, then upping to defend.

It was my favorite thing to do in the game.
