Plain and simple....DO AWAY WITH IT!!!!!

Why?

I must ask for your reasoning. Sitting and waiting with open-mind....

Methinks someone doesn't want to be found :rolleyes:
Imagine all the fun we could have flying from blinking base to blinking base
all day long trying to find a fight. Whoo whoo! I can hardly wait :x

Did they have dar bar in the war..NO
Yes.
German radio & radar operators could quite often determine that something huge was going to happen even before Allied bombers even took off by increased radio transmissions from allied bases (bomber radio guys testing & tuning their equipment). On top of that, early warning radars had ranges well beyond 200km.
---------
And while I do not like the increased radar ranges in the MA, it's pretty clear that you are not asking for anything meaningful, you are just whining about the changes.
-
Taking away sector bars takes away the ability to find the fight.
I think the changes look to be having a very positive impact.
Change happens, when it does, you can either step up your game, or whine.

But thats not considered a Dar Bar. Thats just an assumption. Incresed radio transmission doesn't mean it's a big mission, could be a few pilots just having a conversation. I think i''m right.... Yea, im not a big fan of dar bar, maybe we can just make the DAR RING bigger??

You're not. A few hundred pilots having a "conversation" means a few hundred planes about to get into the air ;)

doesnt have to be hundreds, could be a small squadron moving bases or re-locating
-
Sounds like a whine wish. Someone is upset at the radar range changes because it makes their NOE hord raids more difficult to do and easier to spot. I guess it's easier for some to try and get things removed from the game instead of adapting and coming up with new tactics.

Which makes it even more reasonable that a sudden surge of hundreds of short transmissions at known bomber command bases in a short time indicates a huge mission brewing up.
You should have told em back in the day that their ELINT does not work ;)

Not quite like we have in our game but yes, there was a form of 'dar bar' in the war in the form of plotting tables.

Umm no your whine is teh fail.
Why don't you do a little reading on how that big board worked.
-
Sorry Jolly, I have to agree with AckAck.
That is exactly how it worked back in the day.
Pilots would be briefed by the information collected on the big board.
There was a LOT of work behind the scenes that the average person never saw.
Radar, pilots observations, coast watchers, info coming in from resistance cells, etc.
All of it was noted, plotted on the big board, collated, collected, checked for accuracy.
Sector bars and radar as they are modeled are actually a very good representation of all that.
With a few nods to gameplay thrown in so that you the player can actually find a fight.

no it had an error the first time i looked at the pics, not at the pictures.
But i understand now, sooo increased radio chatter=big mission taking off? ok then, that'll do <S>

I always find it humorous that people keep asking for the creators of a combat game to make it easier for them to avoid all forms of combat.

why not most of the "aces" in the game avoid combat at all costs.

After reviewing rule #4 all I have to add is .......no. New dar is cool and promotes fights. Fights are why we're here right?

Sorry about this post, was having a BAD real life day and things got to me real easy. Wished I could just remove this post. Sorry again, stupid post :salute
BUT you all did bring up something in your pictures and great pictures they are. What is in most of the pictures you showed.....people...so maybe radar should have to be manned.....I know NO! But food for thought :cheers:

I thought EXACTLY the same thing.

That's because both of you failed to realize that the zombies are updating the map! It must be
Zombie World GHQ! :D Or maybe just writing graffiti on the clear bathroom walls.
