Current map...

Landed goons do show up on proximity.

Been so long since I’ve seen a goon that I wasn’t sure. But yeah…that’s crap. Proximity dar needs to go away.

If players are that desperate to find fights maybe we could just beef up darbar and make it so it shows up in quarters of grid squares (essentially individual darbar in all four corners)? AWACS needs to go the way of the dodo.

Maybe landed aircraft should show up as a vehicle sector bar instead? Or not at all?

I don’t think that’s needed. Not like you can hide a goon under a tree and take a nap while a storch flies within 50ft and still can’t see it.

Me thinks some over-think some stuff.

Ideas are like biz cards, however if you get a 1% return you’re doing good

I agree with Lazzer.  What use to be a great map now sucks.  Worst map in the game when one country takes control of tank island. The Rooks had the V4 screwed up island that even makes it worse. 

A9 spawn tanks in on top of a hill giving  them clean, easy shots to our spawn.  We gave the bish a lot of cheap kills but we had nothing better to do so why not..  Killed most of them anyway before theey could land double digit kills. 

The weird thing was the bish could have easily won the map.

landed planes dont show up at normal icon ranges, I believe its 2.4k, but still sucks really bad for sneaky goons.

IF awacs will not be removed, I think planes flying under 65 feet (the normal NOE altitude for radar) should not show up either. There are countless times where a cap on a field is up and everyone is just staring at the map to see when a plane is spawning in. Or I’m defending and happen across a goon, that I never would’ve seen in the first place, because they popped on the map. Or even NOE bombers that are sneaking in on a CV group to hit it but are intercepted by a random guy at 7k who sees them on the map and comes down.

I would love for awacs to be totally gone but if it’s not going anywhere then I think there can be a little bit of compromise in this regard to reward people who are trying to be sneaky and gain some sort of tactical advantage by being NOE

NOE under radar is 100ft now btw

Should be able to spend your perks on dar invisibility..or reduced visibility..

No idea that was 100ft now, good to know

They show up like pilots do. Someone just needs to be close. Sucks!

Once a base flashes it takes very little to make a good, educated guess on a goon sneak without seeing the plane.  I know, I have sneaked a lot of bases with a goon.  I have also been caught many times trying a sneak.  Having a landed plane show usually only helps find the plane after the troops are running.

Local dar has it's bad moments but it is not all bad in my opinion.  King of a 60-40 kind of thiing.

True some what.   I am coming from more a situation of SRIKE- Hangers down- Goon is here-High Fighters....CRUD they see/ know we have a goon landed. Without the landed proximity those 6 fighters wouldn't all have dove on our goon.  Heck, these days our Goon was more than likely carrying field sups     Still sucks he got killed!!!
