Does anyone notice some irregularity in the way radar is picking up cons?
I will climb towards a base with nobody up, and no radar pops up until i am in within icon range of the cons, over the enemy base. At the same time, the cons are at 7k roughly over their base? Shouldn't I have seen the dar bar prior to this point, as they were climbing? :cheers:
-
What number is this one guys? 5?
Get use to it until the new update hits, unfortunately. From here on out, ALWAYS assume that there is an enemy or group of enemies in the area at alt regardless of what the map shows. :aok

Yep, I've seen exactly what your saying

Sorry, i guess. :headscratch:

Have even seen a friendly flying almost right over an enemy base w/o flashing it.

Yep DAR is messed up right now but Id rather see attention focused on the dar in the new AH :aok

It wasn't meant as, "oh boo hoo, get over it" type of thing. I do believe this is the 5th tread I've seen on this issue. Probably less though. I've not seen this myself yet, but I have heard a few squaddies bring it up now and again.
As mentioned before, just have to get use to it until the update (if it "fixes" it). Honestly, the thought of a surprise like that makes me interested. :) You just won't really know what's out there and till you are there. Can't rely on the dar bar anymore, only your eyes. :D Those who are squad oriented furballer's will probably enjoy this more than the solo's. Base takers will probably not like it as much, but with base taking so...dull, this little spice will do just that, spice it up. :aok

I saw some weird stuff too on 1/28/2015. On several occasions I'd see an enemy dot with no dar bar in the sector. Very strange.
-
that can happen, if a plane is more than 60 ft agl but below 250 (i think it is) they show a dot on radar but no darbar.
-
OP been noticed for a long time...like ~a year or so by me
Latrobe did sshots of it, detailed, back then... "broken darbars" iirc
-
Just last night, i was in b17's at 20k, no dar, suddenly dar bar, then a spitfire above me. Noticed it for awhile now.. as someone noted, gotta be on your toes all the time now.
-
Yes Lazer I have seen that also. Its like I can see my friendly dots and friendly green dar and then when I'm nearly reached the enemy base the Red(enemy) dar goes full blast and cons are over 6-7K. I should of seen the dar rise as i was approaching right?
-
Yep. Its been in the bug reports with film and screen shots a few times. My guess is that the big update is priority for coading time.
-
Unreliable dar is only historically accurate if anything.
-
Hopefully we will be complaining about the sonar in the update. :ahand

Knowing what is in a sector to shoot at is what determines where I fly. I could care less about dotdar, but bardar should be accurate to help find the fun. Historically I shouldnt be fighting p51s in a p38, but I am. :cheers:
-
I had this happen to me yesterday. Great advice someone gave is from now on always assume Dar is wrong.

Very true :aok

That right there wins post of the day :aok :cheers:

But the MA is about combat, not realism. Darbars help start fights.

Same .. I had a 190 at my low six oclock at 800, no dar!! Had a gv'r not told he was there I wouldnt have known till he was within hearing range which is sometimes too late :P
Look forward to the update :)
<S>

Over the weekend on the fester map bishop base 87 wasn't showing air con or dar bar when cons were most definitely in the dar ring (right over the base, in fact.)
I upped to find a box of b24's directly over the base at 12K.
What gives folks.
This map should NEVER have been rushed to rotation with all of the bugs.
-
I may be wrong, but I dont think it is specific to any one map.

I have seen it on many maps.

Dar always works instantly when I am noe and poke up 1 foot above dar limit.
