Mobile radar

Apparently there were several mobile versions, both ground and air based.  Some with ranges up to sixty miles.

I wish we had GV and aircraft based mobile radar so we can fly or drive around providing radar support when field radar is down or not available (deep in enemy territory).  Similar to how CVs provide a radar solution when they are in the vicinity of a base with radar down.

This would be helpful in a variety of situations from mission support, long range bomber support, and field defense.  It could be a loadout on an existing A/C or GV or a new type.

An up to maybe 60 mile diameter mobile radar would create more fights since we will know where the enemy is and give us something else to do to help out our countrymen on their missions creating a bit more teamwork.

60 miles is more than what the current ground radar based we have.

Wait i think its a GREAT idea to trundle around up and down hills for hours to have a radar that shows which base is being horded after the field dar is down, I mean I would totally spawn it out to a spawn point and get killed by a m18 multiple times to show the same info already avail in game.

is that sarcasm?

No really think about it drive for 2 hours to get to an area that isnt coved by dar then....SIT its nothing but a win idea. or when the hordse is hording a field youcan spawn in and provide  dar to show the 50 red dots around the horded feild!

  Why drive around?  If field radar is down, just find a place to hide and provide useful info for guys in the air so they can go after bombers, etc as they would if field radar is up?  Field radar down would simply create a  need for someone to help out their team this way... esp if they are on the phone or otherwise unable to concentrate on fighting or a few minutes.

If there was a need for this capability in WWII, why not enable it in here also for the same purpose?

How many times have you benefited from nearby CV radar when field radar was out?

Also this would provide an airborne radar solution behind enemy lines.  Which was very important to pilots during the war.

If field dar is down there is usually a horde there, so I dont need the dar to tell me that there is a horse there, to get behind enemy lines you have to drive unless you justy sit at the spawn. Have you ever upped after bombers(you'd probably have to get out of the Spit so I guess no) its not really that hard to figure out w rhere thye are going using the darbar.

Fighters are interested in fights away from the horde also, radar would point out location of approaching dot(s) 10 miles or more away.   This would help reduce the growing size of a horde.  Plenty of wirbles and air cons are likely working the close by horde already.

No need to get behind enemy lines in a GV, just spawn and hide to provide radar when field radar is down.   To provide radar well behind enemy lines, up an airborne solution, as they did in WWII (which i suspect was much appreciated at the time)..

so you want someone to sit there and hold your hand, when you just as easily can find a fight by yourself? Its not hard to find a fight without making somone spawn to a spawn poiint and get killed multiple times becaus eyou dont knwo how to read a bardar.
Hey if you want to see pointless items added to game thats cool, but really I dont see it haing much inpact to the game.
