An alternative idea i had concerning full map radar

[BAD1051]

This is my first post ever i think, and im tired, so im sorry if it sounds like im babbling.
I had a thought about this full map radar. This might be a way to please everyone, some really like the full map radar and some dont.
Instead of full map radar, why not have deploy-able  radar stations, for each country, that don't show on the map like the bases and strats do to the other countries. These radar stations would have to be discovered and could be taken out by bombs or shells from a tank, or even shelled from the sea. Would even be cool to make them movable by certain GV's. The radar stations could be resupplied by goon,jeep or m3 to repair a bombed station. Or that once destroyed it would become available to that GV base after a certain amount of time, so that it could be re-deployed. Each country would have the same number of radar stations. Tie them into a certain GV base (or all gv bases), just like the ports for CV's. So when that base was captured the radar station would have to be discovered and destroyed before it became the possession of the side that captured that base. Or maybe make it so that all GV bases had 1 radar station that could be deployed by a certain GV (or a set # of remotely deploy-able radar stations) Have it so that the 1 GV would deploy the radar and other GV's would have to take supplies to it to make it work (like they are building the radar station). Taking out a radar station would give no point perks, the only perk would be not being able to be seen by it.
I dont know if i explained my thought good enough. Like i said im really tired. But i think this is a really good idea, that if implemented, would make many people happy. And add a new task and strategy to the game.
What do you all think?
thanks for your time in reading my first babble.

i can get behind this. Portable radar stations existed in WWII...and they are useful.. as we learned on December 7th.

Welcome to the "other" game of Aces high. Hehe. 

I sorta like the idea. I like the idea of zone radar. One radar per 4 sectors, or something like that. Would have redesign the maps though.

I don't think full dar is good at all for the type game the MA is. Hell, it even gave away CV positions lol.

I just think the dar needs to be harder to destroy.

I also really like circle radar too. Where they only show up once they get into the circle. This is good for bombers.

Full dar really takes the strategy out of the game.

Players can also be tracked.

I like your idea from a zone perspective but not so much the "search and destroy" as I think most wouldn't find it. And dar would never go down, or it would be permanent down from the hoard side.

 I don't like having full dar at all.

  I could get behind this as well! I would even like to see V bases being able to do minimal repairs to planes! Some of the bigger maps IMO would mitigate the "Travel time to the fight" issues. Field repairs were VERY MUCH a real thing in WW2. Maybe put a perk cost to it? Maybe not a FULL repair, just thing like ailerons, elevators and flaps? Heck MAYBE engines...at a steeper price/time delays? Got to spend perks some how...cant take them with you

I think that's a very good idea.  (Especially for a first post.)

There will be push-back from strategerists, I expect, but it seems to me to be a clever concept.

Works for me BAD

Sounds fun. It gives the game a little more depth and strategical game play. I would like to see when a radar is spotted by a player they can mark it down for there team on the map so it can be taken out. This way bomber missions wouldn't be ruined either.

I think this would be worth considering.

Cool idea.

They could always put the radar back to the way it used to be....just a thought.

I hope not.   It made the game seem like a ghost town.   Something needs to change from what it was.  Hitech is working on it.   Stay the course.

Here is phase 2 of the Hitech radar test for next week.

My current thinking is it will change Tuesday with a new test consisting of full radar in tower (with the exception of below radar), and different settings when in flight.
