As soon as they are in icon range, yep, they'll light up the situation map like a Christmas tree.

Unfortunately that also promotes NOE raid on big maps on remote fields with small player numbers, or should radar bar still be present ?

...only if they go above the 200ft level. When your flying NOE, the idea is to remain out of radar warning range (sector) and out of tower radar circles. The problem say if you take a single Tiffy doing NOE and you’re flying at 325mph at 30ft, it’s a microsecond/fraction of an inch movement with a joystick and you’re above 65’.

65’ is ideal if every aircraft flew at 60mph. But when you’re screaming along in an attack - 65’ makes any NOE type of strategy useless. Might as well climb up to 10 or 20k feet and then egress into enemy territory and hope for the best.

...Or pork the dar at the field.  NOE still flashes the base when you're within range.

Yep, but it's the sector dar that is the give-away for NOE attacks.  Tower radar and base warning flashing ranges are still standards and working good (all are adjustable).

And if you weren't part of the old crew who would take part of NOE raids, they were a whole lot of fun.  Sneak attacks are always part of military doctrine and the ability to simulate a NOE raid in Aces High made it a special and fun part of a base capture strategy.   NOE raids would maybe happen once or twice a night. Super fun! :aok

Like Sabre said, we miss being able to fly NOE missions.

...And sector dar is still 200 feet (or whatever it is) same as it's always been.  The ONLY thing that is 65 is the dot dar inside the circle.  It confuses me why everybody thinks otherwise.

I played NOE whack-a-mole a lot when it was popular.  It wasn't my favorite when it was the most common kind of attack, but it could be fun.

I do believe both are at 65 feet.

If they are, that has changed recently.  Bardar has been the higher level (150 or 200 feet) for years.
