HT was online yesterday and said the only thing they are currently looking into in changes of the radar are the possibility of changing radar bar sectors so that N.O.E. a/c would not show up on bar radar.
It's not completely eliminating dot dar, nor sector dar, but its also a conservative approach to the alternative of making too drastic of change and losing customers...
What do you think? A step in the right direction?

Definately ! I do a lot of NOE flying...bring it on !

I think so too, Saw, and it will also help prevent 'Goon Hunting' that is currently going on, thus inspire goon drivers to start flying goons again!
-
Ya, I think it's definately a step(albeit a small one) in the right direction.
Hopefully this will promote more "behind enemy lines" type of attack missions, where a large attacking force could sneak into the vast enemy hinterland and grab a base without the enemy knowing about the raid as soon as it takes off.

YES
-Westy
*might cause a rename from Aces High to Aces Low though as everyone tries to sneak thier raids in under the radar (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Yes

N.O.E. a\c, what is that, does it stand for ?

I believe that if the dot dar was updated every 4 seconds it would make things a lot better.
No more cloud fights gone wrong because the dweeb was staring at the gps dot radar to get my bearing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
NOE not showing on the sector bars is GREAT! Especially with carrier forces!
-
What do you think? A step in the right direction?
Definately. I actually believe that all the dar mods should really only pertain to the sector bars.
All that would be left would be to remove sector bars over enemy territory unless a friendly is in that sector.

Yes. Hope that will mean no sector bars for vehicles and boats, too.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that, wonder if HTC has given this thought?

Didn't it work this way in Warbirds, at least at one time?
I remember a Stuka raid in WB that was based on not showing up on dar and flying along the ground. It worked until we were in visual range, and then we got pounded.
It works great. As for the MA, most players ignore attacks incoming on radar anyhow, so I don't know how much it would change the MA.

I disagree X2, put up about 10 bombers on a HQ raid, watch how 'ignored' you are... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

At the risk of sounding repetitive:

Good idea.
------------------
When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?
-
Great idea! Would be even better if you could "surprise" the ack at a field for 1 pass.

Sounds good to me. All for it! Woohoo and all that stuff.. Jumping up and down pom poms in hand and such.

The inflight radar, in all it's forms, is the worst feature of AH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Hi All,
Really glad to see this one finally becoming a reality. Getting the 1st pass in on the acks without them reacting is also a good one (Although I think if you are on dar (I.E. not NOE the acks should be waiting for ya). Mind you 1 problem I can think of is assuming vehicles won't show on dar (Although if they climb up hills higher than 500ft I think they should) in theory a panzer, ostie etc could pound a field until it's dead and then bring the goon in without defending forces even knowing it was under attack. I think the dar should be activated as soon as the 1st structure goes down.
Just my opinion

So long as vehicles still show as sector bars. In reality a base would not be deserted, and friendly forces notified. Until we have an alarm system for the bases we need sector bars for vehicles.
But I'm all for no sector bars for NOE flying.

Good Idea (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
It will definately add another aspect to tactical/strategic missions, whether its a loner run or a massive surprise assault. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

YES!
Man, NOE the earth B-26 raids again (Those who have never tried that, get someone to do to fly the B-26 and then join them and go sit in the nose...what a view! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) ) Hopefully we will be getting a Mossie soon for those high speed NOE Buff missions

If Htc. implement this, I would like the CV commander to have the possibility to disable Carrier for operations. This way he could prevent a single pilot popping up out in the middle of the ocena can ruin a surprise TG attack.

Hehe Pepino, yer high (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Give the commander an option to hit a button and ZAAAP the CV disapears?
What's so suprising about a plane comin' across a fleet undetected? I'm sure there were plenty of ruined 'suprise TG attacks'.
The discussed radar implementation would be great.
