todays dar update...

[CAV]

With today's update. At a friendly base with Radar down.

You're able to see Fading enemy aircraft icons within the Dar Circle,
 
But there appears to be no friendly aircraft close enough to actually see them.

Was that the intent of the update?

Friendlies should be seen all the time?

With dar up it is the old 5 second update that we have always had.

With dar down it reverts to 20 second delay as if relying on first hand reports in the field.

As Hitech said, friendlies should always be on.

The way that reads, it seems like they're saying dar was down, no friendlies in the area that would be able to see the bandits, and they are showing as if being seen by a friendly within the dar circle.  So basically, dar being down just changes the update rate within the circle, but they can be seen regardless of friendlies seeing them.  Is that working as intended?

This is how I understood it as well. Dar down. No one around in the circle. Enemy still appears every 20 seconds. Clearly just needs a tweak.

If dar is down, and no one is seeing the plane, it will not show on dar.

Does that include the tower?  IE- Do they have to be in flight/GV?

That is realistic. Me likes

Understood.

I took what Cav is saying in the OP is that it is not behaving like that. Radar towers (when down) are behaving like they are “seeing” as if the tower itself was a friendly aircraft. With a 20 second fade inside of the radar ring.

If that makes sense.

Can we get plane icons for friendly and dot icons for enemies..

it works that way, until an enemy dot is "seen" and then it converts to plane icon with fading... once it's unseeen it reverts back to a dot.

How about adding a spawn inside the towers to use a set of binoculars and look for bandits.
