Remove GV DAR for PT boats

[pembquist]

I am guessing the are inextricably linked but with all of the drawbacks that PTs already have, (impossible to hide on the big open sea, (especially considering wake,) difficult to land, fragile,) it would be nice if their presence wasn't made so unambiguously clear.

Was definitely hard to play sneaky  Water-Wirble  off an enemy coastline with the 'here it is' indicator.

Well the same thing could be said for the LVTs also!  Well when you think about it the same argument could be made for Jeeps, M3s, M8s, M18s............Lets lose the GV Dar all together!
I would pay $30 a month for that gladly!!!

As long as there are toolbags using PT's solely as ack platforms to mess up dogfights in the air, the GV dar is necessary.

Then why did they put all those MGs on the boats if not to pick off the pesky gulls? 
If you're down on the water or diving towards a PT you can see from 6k away, then you might not be dogfighting, especially if you're in MG range.

The gv dar is so large it takes most a few minutes to find the target...
and btw... the gv can always not go straight to its intended destination

Are you minus one-ing PT Dar or GV Dar in general?

[bustr]

Since we know with in reason most GV will be at most 3 miles out from a field, A flashing ring or even a dot over the field icon on the map as a response to only GV in the area might be more within the established style of GV fighting here in AH. Make the sensor area a 3mile radi. Even for the PT, it would be less of a give away since you can see a PT quickly from a plane once you are a few hundred feet up. While most players would be thinking GV versus PT. Do we really need to know someone is driving a GV 50miles to the HQ when once they were inside of 3miles the warning flash would begin. That would give them some time to try and do damage while the jabo was on it's way.

The guys who complained about long drives with GV or boats are the same people who ignored all the raging clues until after 5 hours of no radar.

only noticed the ptboat because ack was shooting at it.  then somebody mentioned there was a ptboat. if you are 6 or 7k only way you can see them is if the ack is shooting.
