wven when radar hq is down, if you go to a tower while on the ground and radar isnt destroyed at that field you still get local dot radar.

But is that necessarily bad Fishu?  It would be more like having a real radar operator who could send you towards the target without you having complete info in the cockpit.

Great idea, punt to top (although I believe HT stands firmly on his radar policy)

It would be ok if it wouldn't show invidual planes..
They didn't necessarily know amount of the planes and very exact location of them.
(and within 25 mile radius?)

the problem with current system is it makes people just logging on while dar down log right back out, they cannot find activity.

if from tower, they could see where the activity, but then fly with teh crutch of not having dar in flight, i think itd be a great solution.

of course, bombing the individual radars at the field would disable this as well. Annd if you had hit the radar facility (not hq) they would be down for 2.5 hours as well. It would give some meaning to the "radar" strat target (not hq) which right now is useless to hit.

It should be changed, no reason not too. Mabye hitech is *gasp* wrong?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
