Here's some realism.

A rare occurrence that also resulted in the loss of the unit.    (And the Germans reacted to and opposed the initial assault.  “Soviet tank crews broke the Nazi defense.“)

Warbirds did not have  dar bars,   and last time I checked that sim is dead because they did not innovate graphics, did not fix bugs, and certainly just 'gamed' us to go elsewhere.  And while I used to mostly ONLY fly in the Historical WWII arena, at least it had enough people for dedicated squads to fly and attempt to fly in historical manner.    Aces High only has a main arena.

Current Radar Set up KILLS  missions,  KILLS  Efforts,  KILLS  Squads working together, denigrates the arena to 'furball only'  mode and  'TANK TOWN'  mode.   Total bs on my $$$.   Ya want to test?   Fine,  tell the company goons and those that are 'invited to test'  into a 'testing arena'.   Do not implement it in a production enviroment that is the 'Main Arena'.

It had all-seeing dar and it was a blast.

If the goal is to give folks an indicator of where the fights are at, just have a radar scope in the tower that shows all the icons.  But once you up a plane or vehicle, you don't get to see all the icons from the clipboard map.


That would be a fair compromise.

So get in a tank and defend the airfield.

Sure there will likely need to be tweaks but 50 year old men jacking it because something changed is just sad


Hey, some day they'll grow up and mature.

No.  I have no desire to do that. 

I will land or takeoff elsewhere and avoid the invisible ground vehicles altogether as is my choice.

You want to be able to snipe airplanes by stealth with nobody on the base being aware.   GV dar bar simulates eyes on the ground.   Choice of defense is then up to the team being hit.

So then what's the problem with attacking a field with tanks.

I took a peek tonight after visiting the board.

Looked like a lot of fights.

Might have to hook up the controls . . .

Nothing.   That's not the issue.

We all pay the same $15. There is a ton of crap in this thread, but this one takes the cake.

correction  Texas players pay tax  so we pay 16.03 a month-and I am happy to do so--AH2-3 best game ever

All this because it's been determined that the radar is the cause of the low numbers?

no one said that^^
in my book its because people complaining about gv dar-which was started by players not being able to easily see the gvs hiding under the enormous amount of trees, instead of upping a tank to look for them they take the lazy way and up a plane heavy to try and bomb them.

sure I'm a bomb tard because sometimes it faster,  esp if gv's are all ready in town or a vh is camped.

in my opinion low numbers is because some players act like children and can't get their way throw a tantrum and quit or threat to quit, just like your seeing in these posts

Knight V97 gv fight for 2-3 hours 3 to 4 of us vs 3 or rook gvs--4th rooks decided they really wanted V94 15 rook gv ,--i counted vs approx. 6 to 8 knights, biggest gv fight I've been in ever-was great fun-I believe full radar was responsible, in fact since full radar came up a lot more gv fights been happining.

HiTech please dump the GV dar I am begging you. gv fighting far better without it.  base flashing is a good indicator of gv presence. it worked well in AH2-although AH2 had less trees.

there are spoiled brats in this game that will never be satisfied with whatever you do.

remember you made this game to be as  historically correct as you could. they didn't have GV dar in WWII.
they did have radar for the enemy planes. they had look outs with binoculars to give approximate count of numbers and altitude to coincide with the radar.

although with gv dar planes still have trouble finding gvs to bomb, another reason bomb tards still crying about changing GV icon range, they too will never satisfied.

I'm with you 100% with whatever you do. in just hope it  doesn't a month to do it like the M3  lol I know different situation.

oh and fellow players I still think it was your fought that this situation came up.
when HiTech came on the other day to play his game-he was in a P-47- a bunch of you started sweetyn at him about GV Dar and eny-30 mins later we had full gv dar so there.  just saying Gv's don't need gv dar to find and fight gvs. and if bomb tards want to bomb gvs then they should have to work for it.  my thoughts--let the flaming begin.

ATTENTION AH3 PLAYERS  FULL RADAR IS A TEST. BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE OWNER OF THIS GREAT GAME TO TRY AND IMPROVE GAME PLAY AND IS ONLY A TEST, PULL UP YOUR DIAPERS QUIT YOUR WHINING AND CRYING MOANING AND GROANING AND COMPLAINING. YOU sweety WHEN HiTech DOESN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING AND YOU sweety WHEN HE DOES, THE MAN CAN'T WIN WITH YOU GUYS. GIVE HIM A BREAK, HE'S DOING THE BEST HE CAN TO HELP US HAVE A GREAT GAME TO PLAY.

SO GROW UP AND QUIT THREATNING TO QUIT. GIVE HiTech A CHANCE. IF IT TAKES 30 DAYS THEN IT TAKES 30 DAYS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WILL.

AND A REMINDER FOR BOMBER PILOTS-IN WWII BOMBERS HAD ESCORTS, GET YOUR COUNTRYMEN TO FLY ESCORT FOR-AFTER ALL COUNTRIES ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK TOGETHER RIGHT, RIGHT. ALSO A GOOD WAY TO SHOOT DOWN ENEMY PLANES

HiTech I hope you don't mute me or ban me from the forums for this^^^.
