Latest "radar" abomination

[molybdenum]

You can always get fighter cover.

That almost never happens.
Only the rooks, very occasionally, will fly fighter cover for me. The others don't and I don't blame them. There are funner things to do.

[DmonSlyr]

The war win crowd want to sneak around with near offline invulnerability and only the illusion of MA danger.

 

That makes a lot of sense!

Of the new radar changes I like this one the best so far. If it were me I think I would try it on a 1 or two minute delay. It would allow people to find the fight without giving them real time enemy information within 6000 yards of themselves.

Sucks as bad as the full dar. Real-time updates, no need to spot anything. Just be within 6k.

Options like "fly low to disable icon", and activities like "check 6 often" have been taken out of the game. Planes that don't show an icon appear on dar by just being nearby, looking outside of the window is no longer neccessary. Map shows everything in realtime.

Why not go all the way and make it look like this?

hold on ..

I don't have e a problem with what I just read if Dale has implemented this as the new radar system 1 bit!

You see situational awareness is absolutely critical in real life. Now bear with me here please.

People in world war 2 were pounded with situational awareness training. Nothing that OP has written about can be seen as something that takes away from the game. Your regular player would now have the same situational awareness as someone would in real life because they were trained to spot the enemy. If you are not using VR, you have to use a hat switch to look around or use a keypad right? This new system only takes away a very real element the games used to have which was stealth.

Stealth was very overpowered but so was the effect of dropping an HQ with 1 set of lancs. I ha e always had a problem with changes that were made when it was obvious other changes needed to be made as well.

So adapt, overcome, and pull up the clipboard if use lose visual on the target and establish contact again haha 

+1 to HTC if this is the result of the test. But m3's should never show on dar or as GV dar ...

This would mean a whole lot unless coming from a guy that DOES NOT HAVE A PLAYING SUBSCRIPTION.

You must be new. I have played since 1999 and had a subscription since about 2001. I have been on the boards since 2002.

My home was flooded by the 51.88 inches (it rained for 1 1/2 days after that official gauge broke) of rain here during hurricane Harvey. So I have not flown since then. We have been in our RV while our home is rebuilt. I have pulled my machine and gear from storage and will be back soon. I have never dropped my subscription.

Simply ask around...  a few folks know my P-38j.

We could just throw a net over our plane and become invisible like other games.

How about just fight.... or is fighting the problem.

Shuffler why has it always been so hard for you to accept that certain elements to the MA require a window of avoiding the fight? I get that players abuse it way more than use it the right way but had the Japs at pearl not had a spook in the tree they would have been spotted and not mistaken for a flight of B-17's

Element of surprise is a tactic. You can't throw out the baby with the bathwater just because he takes a dump once in awhile during his bath...

Go back to the DA and stay there long enough to where people start showing up again so you can have the experience you want whenever you want it again someday

I am here to compete in WWII aircraft. If you are not then you are definitely not who I am looking for. You can continue on to ATTACK those inanimate objects that give you your required excitement.

but I absolutely love a good fight! Especially after a 15 minute 130 autoclimb with a quarterbag and full ords load <3 nothing has come close to teaching me how to get better than players like you.

Or the zooneys and snailmans who will invest 15 minutes just to come at me from those perfect undefendable angles of attack which is a thing g of beauty. Only earning a base capture is more exciting than that for me.

And no one gives you better fights than the players who are smart, love what they do in the game, and don't shy away from a good fight!

The man lost his home to a hurricane. Show some respect.

[nrshida]

Kiss even more players g'bye.

Bye Bye MrGeezer. Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out    

[horble]

The radar really doesn't show off anything that people wouldn't be calling out/things you can infer from the darbar anyway.

I dig it.

[TWCAxew]

This was my suggestion, I am glad everyone likes it ♥️🐈

I suggested this as a spotting thing instead of calling it radar (for the players here that calling it a true radar).

Tactical play is still here. Bomber missions are not at risk being spotted ect and the kicker is you can see now where the fight is!

HAVE A BLAST

[Litjan]

I thoroughly like the new setting.
