Removing Dot Dar in Friendly Missions
« on: January 27, 2003, 11:33:13 AM »
Once Again I will try to Lobby


HTC..In next update...if its not a huge problem to write this into the program....


Please for the love of this game...Make an option to remove the DOT Dar showing to friendly country when under the 500 foot AGL...


I would like to see it removed completely...but atleast from missions that have selected that option..

There is not one good reason to have it on.

But it has come almost complelty impossible to do "Sneak Attaks"

And..to try and make this game more "realistic" with out hurting the playability...this should be a no problem request.


Thank you

Love BiGB

I agree whole heartedly with this post...

  PLEASE... drop the under dar friendly dots.  It is getting difficult to accomplish all missions with any element of security, but the low level friendly dots are too enticing for a spy to ignore...

I'm thinking this post is stemming from our squads intercepting your squads NOE raid and as I said then, it wasn't from anyone telling us where you were. We were climbing out from a different base and saw your small band of ruffians on the deck and went to investigate. Noe raids are, and should be, risky.

It should be almost impossible. You've given up all your missions defensive capabilities by attempting to take bases this way. They're tried far too often now for my liking, and they succeed enough to make trying to find a good fight difficult. I have no problem with players taking bases by setting up a well organized attack, but to get three guys in planes take a base without the defenders having a chance at defending just seems ludicrous.

If you don't want to get caught doing something risky, stop doing risky things.

Manx

I cannot speak for BGBMAW,  but the security issue is a problem that has been running for a long time now.  Too many raids have been intercepted (both noe and regular) to simply be a coincidence.

 In the instances I am referring to, it has been against more than one country and certainly more than one squad.  IMHO if you are under dar you should be completely under dar.  Friendly and foes should not be able to see your dar dot.

This is not a huge issue to me, but certainly worthy of consideration.

Are you suggesting plp are switching teams to check were nme is then switching back and telling their teamates?  
If so then put a block of "X" number of mins on the ability to switch countries

JBA,  HTC has already fixed that problem it is built in... You have to wait 12 hours after switching countries to switch countries again.

I think it is more from a rotating countries type of thing...  I doubt there are people that spend an extra $15 a month just to spy... But then again ya never know... :rolleyes:

Information can be passed from a squaddie that is flying for a different country but is still a member of the squad... Now blocking Squad channel communications between squad members when they are on opposing countries would be a neat fix,  along with the noe friendly dar dots fix...

No to this suggestion.  I like to be able to find my squadmates when they are down on the deck.

On the rare occasions when people do spy, they probably aren't looking for NOE raids.  Spying is usually done by friends  using private channels to hunt down some 'mouth' or to find a hidden CV.

Could friendly under dar dots be removed and still keep the squad dots or even mission dots that would be under dar?
If so sounds good.

Still would want to track the goon on a mission etc.

Make it so that the only way to talk to someone in different country is thru channel 1, no more privy.

Maybe stop squad talk when different countries also, but w/out that might still be able to find the spy anyways.

hmmm classic..
TheManx...no its not from the "1 time you caught us"..this is an ongoing problem and it is complete roadkill to show radr under 500 feet ..FOR ANY 1 ....

But I atleast want it off if the Mission Planner wants it....


And You have PLENTY of tiem to defend a base once it starts Blinking,,,,

Is a base blinking when a nme detected 10 miles out not enuff time for you???? es ..it is plenty of time..especailly when all the nme is on the Dek...

Plain and simple....Your argument doesnt work...


Blackfalcon..If you want to find your Goon.either join the msiion.."he will show up"...or ask him on vox...seems pretty simple..No need to ruin it for everyone..cause you want to knwo where your goon is


Montezuma....I dont know if you play alot...Im thinkn not...Cause there are "spies"  and when you ride with a Squad that is well known to kik ass...peoipl like to hate you....

Poor hating rich..Ugly hating pretty...its always the same...

and "probably"..not looking for you doesnt work...There is no goo dreason to have dot dar on...

And if its.."i want to see where my friends are..or see if there is any1 uping at a base..either text-vox..or get your bellybutton over  there..It would make for a more realistic game play....

Thsi is what we need..and it would in no way make the game worse off....................



1 More time....Make it so Misiions  could turn there dots off when under 500 ft agl....please


Love BiGB
xoxo


P.S. Thank god there has no tbeen any good arguments against this:)

Hmmm... I have 30 hours this month not counting the ToD and my squad was pretty good at being hated, maybe you remember Shillelagh from Air Warrior?

I think you're being paranoid about this spy business, sorry your milkrun got spoiled.
