radar kamikazi
« on: April 03, 2015, 09:13:41 AM »
I'm growing annoyed with a high 51 or so coming in and killing the field radar and then surely getting killed..... I think that the radar should not go down until the perpetrator lands successfully.

One thing I learned as a child, you can't fix stupid.  No matter what controls are put into place, someone will subvert it.  They don't care, they have zero pride in their actions, but the keep the lights on at HTC...

I would rather have a set radar downtime like hangars.  Radar promotes opponents finding each other and that is a good thing with the numbers we have lately.  Let folks shut the lights off at bases and HQ all they want, just get rid of the situations where its down for long periods.

then you will just have a pony that drops rockets on radar and runs all the way home.  and you still wont fight him, so what exactly is gonna change?

The thing is, this wish doesn't make sense.  Well, the fix doesn't make sense.  Are you sure he didn't get PW'ed and blacked out almost instantly?  I've had that happen, and end up flying into stuff.  Oil can screw with you too, and there have been times when I screwed up getting oiled, flying into stuff because I couldn't see well.  I've had my elevator's shot off a couple of times (usually it's the whole tail. lol), can't do anything but fly into stuff at that point.

Then you have folks that can hit the dar from WAY out with rockets with very little risk to themselves.  They'll have fired and turned for home before they hit.  You won't be able to stop them.  I use to do it in the Typhoon. :)

Radar should not be abled to be killed with 7,7mm-20mm fire.
It should also take more explosives than today due to it's construction.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.
