Fading Icons Review

[Dadtallica]

This definitely helps but I don’t feel they should disappear as much as they do. Not a fan of when the entire map goes sort of blank for a brief second.

Can they still remain in their faded state while the update happens? I guess looking at it they don’t exactly disappear, but the fading could be a little less.

[Wiley]

Agreed. 10-20% left of the fade wouldn't be nearly as jarring.

I like them but some of the guys with more er.. experienced eyeballs I think were struggling with the icons at their faintest.

[Dadtallica]

I use a blue color for friendly icons so it’s definitely not helpful over the water. I guess I need to get a little darker.

Could we also maybe make some exceptions for friendly icons to linger a little longer or not fade or perhaps have a different timer? I feel like I would know where my people are much more than any enemy I can’t see. I don’t know how this stuff used to work.

Terrible new feature along with the map dar delays now

Not sure it solves or hurts anything. It means the same. It seems more of a visual, kinda quit looking.

The notion there was a lot wrong with icon dar is not accurate. It’s more personal preference.
I think the exodus over dar is not well supported. A lot of moving variables in that era.

Maybe over-efficient in pleasing players.

Either dot or icon dar, as were, is fine.

There’s bigger fish to fry

IMO

I thought it was great..

There is actually about 4 seconds where there isn't an icon..

Thanks HT

Looks like SA is back on the menu boys.

IF  B29s are hitting ground speed of 360 true 20 second delay is 2 miles off'. This
 is not acceptable;

I'm fine with the current changes in dar.

However, I'd like to see a 5 second delay within working radar circles, and radar towers hardened a bit.  Might be a programming nightmare, but would make base radar more important for defense and as a target.  Also, the "see and report" outside radar circles idea might be cool.

Still, I'm fine with it as it is.

I concur.

Can't you change your intercept route knowing the delay is a thing?

I agree 100%

I agree and feel like friendly aircraft should be a little more accessible than an enemy would. I think the best way you could harden a radar without upping. Its actual hardness would be to rebuild the base tiles to add more guns or some kind of bunkers around the radar towers. I wish I had the time to work on these things myself, but I don’t know how to do any of it lol

I feel like we have been going backwards for about 3 weeks.    I think the system we abandoned a few weeks ago was the best for new players and from the limited polls we have the original system was preferred by the majority of current players.  The worse case scenario of going back to the "AWACS" is a few disgruntled players leave and I truly doubt even that would happen.  Recruitment and retention of new players should be the primary goal and I do not know how the recent changes help that.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
