Post by: JimmyD3 on June 02, 2023, 08:32:26 AM
Silly question, what is the Base Radar range?? 20 miles or 25?

12.5 mile radius, 25 mile diameter.

Thank you. I checked the Arena Range settings and they calculate out to be 12 miles, but when you go to the clip board map they don't line up the same.

A sector is 25 miles across.  If a base is in the exact center of the sector, the radar circle would be just short of the sector border.

If you have two bases, and the radar rings are just touching, then the two bases are about 25 miles apart.

If you are flying at 300 mph ground speed, then it takes 5 minutes to cross a sector.  (Unless you are flying diagonally from corner to corner)

I might add that if you are flying in circles, you'll never hit across the sector.  :P

Method or technique, whatever word you use; if a person has one that works for them that’s all that matters.   :aok
