Title: Give HQ its own radar!
Post by: Chalenge on March 18, 2015, 12:21:02 PM
This wish is for a radar area around HQ to be used anytime HQ is at more than 50% strength. Added to the removal of the downtime command (for enemy assets) this would add a 'fog of war' element to the game for enemy bombers setting their sights on HQs.

+1 In addition goons should be allowed formations that only carry sups from airfields near by.

If maps had an uncapturable GV field right next to the HQ.

If the enemy wants the approach to be blinded then they have to kill the radar at the GV field.

If the enemy does not want the HQ re supplied then they have to kill supplies at the GV field.

Instead of just one radar tower, how about one at each corner of the HQ area?  That way, only two could be killed in any one pass.

It's way to late to intercept a hi alt bomber going after Hq if you don't know HQ is the target at least 2 sectors from HQ. Snailman did a whole thread on this with charts not that long ago

But not the NOE variety. The problem lately has been the noe TU-2s and Lancs that pop up, drop, and bail.

Also give us control of some flak batteries to help with defense of the HQ.

+1 on the removal of .DT for enemy assets - it won't stop spiez and alts but it makes more sense than having down to the minute intel on when their hangers are going to pop.

+1 on giving HQ some kind of radar protection.   The most strategic asset to your entire country is wide open - doesn't make much sense, especially if the object is to get people to up and defend HQ.   No warning = no time for intercept. 

I am still of the opinion that it would make sense to vary the radar ring size by the size of the airfield.   12 miles for small fields and vehicle bases, 18 miles for medium bases, 24 miles for large bases and CV groups.   That provides a much more realistic radar defense and makes attacking radars more important in preparation for a strike to HQ.
