Latest "radar" abomination

[1stpar3]

I love the new radar. I hope it stays this way.

Then I hate IT    Sorry Rud3, was my post Cartoon stress kicking in...I agree +1. seems to be a good compromise

Ive come to the conclusion.. if you dont like the new radar, you probably score most of you kills shooting guys taking off, or in a horde.  The dar doesnt hurt the guys with balls.  Case closed

How long is Dummy Dar going to be tested for?

You can always get fighter cover.

Or manned gunners on board?

IMHO, Wiley nails it!  I look at the Radar as HQ Controllers plotting the map, and putting in a 30 second, delay while the digital map room personnel change the plots is totally acceptable.  The map itself I consider a kneeboard one, that we pilots update in cockpit, like the uber multitaskers that we are. 

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.

Well said, Wiley! 👍👍🤜🤛👏

Proof or conjecture?

I like the new setting as well. Some suggestions to refine it more:

1.) Show icons on map ONLY if the "spotting" aircraft has actually "seen" (have icon on screen) the enemy aircraft. This way it would be possible to sneak up on an enemy again from low six without him seeing you on the map as soon as you are within 6.0k (UNREALISTIC!!)

2.) Show icons on map ALSO for people that have discoed. I have seen this yesterday and I think it may be exploitable: If you disco from your aircraft, it will keep flying for a while, when you connect again, you jump back into it. However - while you are discoed, your plane WON´T SHOW UP on enemy radar at all! So how to get to your target undetected? Fly towards it, just before entering radar, disconnect. Then time your reconnect so that you jump back in just as you approach your target. Stealth mode!

If you use more than two paragraphs in a thread that’s not Hardware or software help you are in a bad mood.

I play this game for fun if you don’t you need to go for brisk walk

I thin kit makes sneaking around harder. Sneaking around seems like an important part of a war game. But I like the way it helps the action etc...

Maybe a compromise would be to tag the enemy icon signifying that you actually saw it. I think there is a system for toggling from icon to icon to send a check 6 or some such thing but I never used it.

As someone who was completely against the "full dar" I find the new setting acceptable and much more realistic. This should be a fair compromise IMHO to all.

However - there is still a minor problem with people flying NOE as mentioned for example goon pilots into a base. It is now very easy for someone to simply up an aircraft and fly anywhere near a town until the icon is shown on dar and then go straight to kill it. Or if a goon landed / parked nearby a town on the ground the same happens. This is not so realistic.

Hoping some minor tweak to the current setting could be done in this regard but otherwise acceptable change.

Cheers!

I agree that landing and parking a goon near an enemy town is not so realistic.  There ought to be a way to stop it!
