but I still wish for it and airborne radar on maybe Mosquitos or some other bomber type aeroplane.  It would add to the fun in the game.

It would add nothing to the game, you wouldn't be able to use radar equipped planes to plug radar gap coverage if a base radar went down.

IMO if a radar equipped plane was allowed to show a display to all friendlies with a smaller radar circle, then why not? If it was abel to carry all that wieght in radar equipment, it wouldnt be able to carry any armament, and therefore a fairly easy target unless defended, and we all know how hard it can be to defend an unarmed goon!

It would basically only be useful for a short range where any enemy aircraft would be either in visual range or just outside of visual range.  I dont see any use here for plugging radar gaps. :noid

Here's a hint...the radar equipped planes weren't able to do that during WW2, they didn't act as mini-AWAC planes.

But they did have auto-takeoff, stall limiters, text based damage reports, and bar dar, huh? :headscratch:

they also had pilots that changed their call signs at will and would annoy the enemy with their spam.

No, that's only here.

What a shame, too.

If we had Midway during the PTO, we could have given him a transmitter and a mic and the Japanese would have surrendered much sooner than they did.
