Are you saying it would have been more fun if you could just roll in and blow the field away with no opposition? How.... boring.
There was no in-flight radar back when I flew warbirds, and you know what? people checked radar
before they replaned. They got on country channel and told people if there was something significant going on. and vectored the friendlies there. It actually
added to teamwork.

No inflight radar would not be as fun IMHO.
If you wanna find each other and fight, you can check the radar before you replane, it's not that hard. (click, click) If you think it does a good job, you probably don't do much flying together in an organized group. Have you ever tried an organized mission? We do at least one most every night as a squad, and several times on our squad night, and from that experience, I can tell you it gives away a whole lotta info to every tom, dick and harry in the arena.
I don't ever critique much about this game, and I hope this is taken as constructive criticsm, as I'm not steamed over this or anything. It's just the way I feel about this, and have always felt about in-flight radar. It's HTC's decicision, and you won't see me moan and groan over it.

Am I the only one here who thinks the
unknown is half the thrill of air to air combat?
Lord, I hope not.
