200 yards is too short for the Quadrant Dar Using the Hurricane IID. 

found this in the other wishlist, so you want the bombers to be able to sneak around but want an advantage on gvs on the ground?

looks like they discontinued the quadrant dar for planes

Please stop shore batteries from flashing as early warning like towns and fields and ships.

This would be ok if they replaced them with a chain of radar stations like they had IRL

and the direct attack on the names and squad degradation shows the size of yours.  there is all ready to much sneaking and slithering going on in this game.  we need things to encourage fighting.  I get the chance to fly more than most in here as I am tied to a desk all day with not much to do but answer the phone.  it amazes me at the amount of people that flat out refuse to engage in a 1v1 fight.  it amazes me at the time a bomber will take to fly to a strat to avoid combat.  how when over whelmed the slightest bit every one jumps in gvs and field guns or just simply leaves and go to another field.  I am by no means a good fighter but I think I have progressed well in the last 6 months, but I run from no one and no fight and when I have a turn fight with one or two planes (I know I am gonna loose) and my objective right now is to at least get shots on both I enjoy that very much. 
I think there needs to be more that points out cons and sneaks.  also some way to channel the fights better.  there should be arrows pointing to where the cons are and fight bases in a order of logistic purposes.  also there should be a base take cap ie you take 2 bases that belong to team x you have to take 2 bases that belong to y before you can advance on the next x team bases.  the horde mentality is over whelming in here for all sides and is devastating the game play.  a perfect example is weekend play, this is the third weekend in a row where you log on and theres not a single knight and rook fight.  its hard to deal with numbers like that and ruins game play for a lot of guys that only get to play on the weekend. 
again the flashing shore battery should be the least of our worries when hunting bombers, if you want to kill the bombers head to the strat with drop tanks and hover over it till he shows, obviously that's where he is heading so head him off there.
Yea you don't run from a fight...you just fly fighters which can out turn the rest without any sort of skill...guess what....makes you just as bad as those runners you whine so much about.

well thats about all i see in the melee arena. spits, las, yaks.  so why shouldnt i be able to fly against them in my choice of plane? i dont complain when a bnz picks me out of fight when im turning with other spits or kis or yaks.  seems you arent really sticking with the topic or adding any thing of much value here, only criticizing a players plane choice.  or trying to elevate your self saying stuff like you beat players posting in here in the plane set choice.

First you complain about running ponies all the time...second you did it in your comment...third I'm pointing out that your plane choice nullifies that you can't complain about it, which you do.

Waaaa, and here I used the shore battery's on purpose in Oceania as early warning beacons to cut down on sneakiness to promote combat. Hitech shoulda let me leave the 30,000ft wall in place....... :furious

Always wondered if he added the detect flashing to shore battery to give players a wake up call on their base being assaulted from the water. Seems there was a discussion about wanting some way to know a base was being long ranged by the cruiser before it was too late to defend the town.

Flipth your ankle humping flatters me.  However your assumption about why I made this request is wholly incorrect and shows just how tiny your brain is.  It's ok the the Anti-Bored have low expectations anyway.  Keep up the hard work, you will make a varsity squad some day.  RTB in Fear for now.  :aok

Still zero pancake mix Way....Flippz you obviously don't know Waystin2s history in Aces High....at one point in Aces High 2 I would have bet my paycheck that Waystin was the best whirbel gunner in the game. Was a sick clip of him popping Grizz's Me262 from 2K crossing shot...so when you see him in a Whirb just know that was one of the only things he used back in the day....and to see him in one shouldn't be some sort of surprise.....ya big dummy.

Umm your taunting me with a horde at your back. Am I missing something here?  Junior varsity commentary. Anti-bored is starting to get quite boring. Go back to your horde where it's safe, there be Pigs here. :aok
