It feels like a step back to me, but mostly because I don’t like it at all. Maybe they’ll be some more tweaks but anything that goes further into needing some hyper-situational awareness all of a sudden is a no for me.

At the very least, Dale is taking suggestions and trying new things whatever this finally becomes maybe better than whatever it is now or was… or it won’t. I’m adult enough to give it the time but it’s running out. Lol

It’s a game! Games are supposed to be fun!

WE Are stuck with the vocal minority telling us what a great thing this new rader is :bhead
The happy    never whined  because they were happy. Not one of the players for this has a fighter score below 50 for a reason!~

I don’t understand what score has to do with anything. I do, however, believe players will get used to whatever is the final iteration might be. Hopefully, no matter what it is, it’s balanced. High refresh proximity radar (AWACS) is/was not.

For sure there is a vocal minority on the forum.

I don't really care very much about the radar issues but I think it's better for the game and more fun when it's not pinpointing planes exactly.


The fading icons are not super easy to see because of the colors I think, but I like the way it all works. It makes sense when it fades away and then blinks on in full brightness as it updates. You can visualize better what's going on now. It's just a little hard to see when they start fading.

I think it was a good change.
