No dar bar until viz

 Often times I do not get a dar bar until I see a dot . It happens under various circumstances . Happened last night while flying with squaddies .

It happens to me a lot...in any arena. I was at 10k, just over a sector from my base; enemy darbar didn't pop up until I saw the dot of the plane which was 2k or so higher than me.

Having encountered the same problems on and off for a long time now, but (coincidentally?) much more since last versions. Had several instances of B-24s appearing 8-10k over a CV I was defending without ANY previous darbar, not even in the adjacent sectors.
Just an hour ago, a teammate reported bombers at 5k in the middle of a sector, with no darbar showing to me either.

A few of us have noticed it too.

We've also noticed that different people have seen different dar bars, if any at all, in the same sector, at the same time.

I heard the me163 at 35,000 feet before any dar bar showed up.

It's very inconsistent, so it has to be a bug.

It's been going on for some time.

And it's different for each player too.  Sometimes while flying with my squad someone will call out a sector counter that nobody else can see.  Sometimes when flying in a sector with no red sector counter we will run into enemy planes at altitude.

BarDar = Maybe but it used to = absolute.

Given Hitech's repeatedly voiced disdain for random effects, it would be quite suprising to have such a very much random effect with at times significant impact built into the game without any notification or explanation. :)
