Could someone explain what Dar icon is?

Your plane will not appear on Dar until your plane is above 100 ft. alt.

Dar Icon is now 100 ft. up from 65 ft., Dar Bar setting is still 250 ft.


wait, what?...
Dar Bar is not the count of everything above 100ft, but number above 250? <scratches head>. huh

It is the aircraft icon you see inside the Radar Ring. specifically the enemy aircraft. If the enemy is below 100 ft. AGL you do not see an icon. I would suspect that the "AWACS" function might over ride the Radar minimums, we'll have to test that.

I’m also assuming that as I’ve found plenty of goons before via awacs even though they weren’t on radar

I really miss when dar icon was same for bombers or fighters.   

Robin Olds would not have had success from Operation Bolo at Aces High.

The old radar was a much better system but the icons aren’t nearly as problematic as the AWACS which I believe overrides the 100ft limit. Intercepted some low lancs last night which were popping in and out of radar until I closed the gap. Could be he just jumped into the guns and popped up a bit but I couldn’t tell.
