Either keep the game authentic. Or stick large red arrows over participants saying here I am to help the wine go down a little better with the cheese :old:

It's supposed to increase player #s or make the game better.

If so it seem like a strange way to do it.

Old dar was fine

Revert back to child like tendencies? That implies that there was growth at some point.

I've always agreed more with the adage of "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys"  :devil

You didnt miss it, Hitech rarely posts the "why's" of anything he does. If you want a strait answer, PM or email Hitech..... he may answer you.

Speculation is when a new player logs in for the first time ....

Old dar, a few dots/plane markers here and there ( attack zones have dar down most of the time) dar BARs are not always intuitive. Doesnt look very active, boring. New players log out never to return.

New dar shows players all over the map, lots of action going on, more interesting, may how the new guys attention longer.

Nope, it was a counter to the comment that in plane radar was not historical.  Some ww2 aircraft did have radar in them, none to my knowledge had HUD.
