Greetings,
Was in a tank the other night waiting for the base to blink again right after some one kilt the last vehicle in the area. Got to thinking, yes there is no radar like there is for the planes.
Wouldn't want a bunch of different colored dots floating on the map pointing out where vehicles are located. After all, the information that I as a VC or TC would get would be out dated fairly quickly as the only reporting would be from units in contact back to the Higher HQ and then back down.
However, could we get something similar to the Bar Dar that would show enemy ground activity within a sector? This would help those wanting to find a GV fight find it and help in preventing the ground rush on undefended VBs.
Regards,

It is very easy to hide in a ground vehicle and it is not 'that' easy with some of the glitches in the game. If your at a V-base and there are no aircraft you won't see the GV until it is too late. There are multiple ways to hide in a tank and not be seen by other GV's and even sometimes it is tough to find them while in plane. Under a bridge or tight against a high wall they can be missed. You don't pick up their icon until what.... 1.5....2.0k out? Ok, now you found him and drop a 1k egg on the guy and nothing happens. Alright, now drop another bomb on him... nothing. Now your out of eggs and only have guns left. Maybe he's a better shot than your buddy or you and he pops you fast.
Yeah, gv's are easy to kill sometimes. The 15 shots to a Tiger from a Sherman are always fun. The best way to see a GV from a V-base is to jump in the tower, switch to Ground Vis Mode, hit the F5 key, zoom all the way out and hit F8. Now pan around until you see him and then you know where he's at. You won't see an icon, but you will be able to see him moving around or pick up the sound of his tank.
Have fun MWL, see you in the arena! :aok

Sorry about the double post. I agree about the damage patterns being messed up but I am a GVer, I am not good at flying but when I do I see GVs essay and when I am trying to hide I never can. If a tank is in a building and is engines off it should be useable to air units and baring a direct hit by a 500 + bomb it should have some good extra defense but it does not have either benefit. The black dot makes it imposable to hide.
