Obviously... they should not show up on "radar" but if we are simulatiing "spotters" then I would contend that even the most impaired spotter would be able to correctly report which were planes and which were GV's. I don't particularly wish to fight GV's and am disgusted to fly to a large red bar only to see a dozen osties.

FA3 is awaiting you Laz.

geeze rip.... you're a moron aren't ya? Nice sig tho....

A feature to toggle what the red bar means (aircraft / vehicles / boats / everything) would be quite handy IMO.

Rip:
If lazs posted in here that is was a nice day you would immediately reply that you hadn't seen the sun in 6 months and it sucked.
Oh wait.... you live in Sumner. In that case, take some prozac, buy yourself a sunlamp and try to calm the diddly down.

Cant argue with that.. nothing worse than flying for 10-15 minutes accrossed a sector to get to that hoard that makes up that nice long red line in my radar, only to find 5 flak panzers parked on a runway.
I wouldnt mind as much if i knew they were GV's, i would grab a panzer and go kill them.
-
I suggest implimenting triangles for GVs, circles for Boats and Squares (as is currently) for aircraft sector counters.
-
The toggle thing that Hooligan suggested would work fine. It could be added to the "toggle icons" function.
-
No toggle! Tired of toggle...
Just add two new symbols to the sector counter regime. Triangles for GVs and cirlces for boats.
Simple enough HT could do it while on a potty break.

amon, hooligan, yeager, pop... why don't yu all go pay in FA3?

Lazs, I've also been bugging Pyro for this feature in the SEA for the special events. Our concern about GV's is slightly different, though.
We can envision an event where we'd have a joint GV/NOE aricraft attack against some installation. And while we can make the aircraft invisible to radar dots or sector counters under a certain altitude(say 300 ft.), the current tools we have right now would also make any GV's under 300ft invisible. Doesn't seem logical that a GV standing next to a target shelling the hell out of it would be invisible.
Pyro said that they are working on incorporating some change in this area, but he didn't say whether it would be in the next release or not.
-
Yeager,
Why different symbols for boats and gv's?
It would be pretty easy to tell that the icon for ground vehicles that is displayed in the water is a boat.
The NTDS uses only 3 symbols to denote contact type. Of course these are broken down into friend (circles), unknown (squares) and hostile (diamonds).
Displaying top half of symbol is Air, full symbol is Surface, and lower half is Sub-surface.
F.

toggle would be best, IMO, otherwise your dar bars would cover up the whole map instead of just the top portion that it does now (if you had separate bars for GVs and boats as well as the plane ones we have now.)
-
While we're at it, can we please get altitude readings on every target on the map? I get tired of flying at 15000 ft to a grid only to find 10 Spits/N1Ks/La7s on the deck going around in circles. I also get tired of flying a whole grid only to find a P38 or B17 at 35000 ft. I really think we need to block out every con on dar except the ones that are in the precise position that I want them in. Can we also add some time compression so I can get to where I need to be faster? Thanks.

i just enable my cheat code and i can id anything. What???? I thought everyone had this... Get real, lets just call it advantage for everyone cept the new guys.

LOL!
I hate it when ostwinds ruin a good vulching opportunity too.
I think I should be told exactly where everything is and exactly what it is. At the same time, I feel nobody should know what I am flying nor where I am at.
Its really quite simple.

Get rid of the red bars, just show red dots for planes above 300ft AGL.
dont show anything for GVs or Boats.

LOL.. I AGREE with you DejaVu :) ..where is this world going to :D
The radar should also tell which dots are newbies and even better have different colors according to player's K/D so that we could always find the easiest targets.
What really sucks in AH is that one has to look around to find targets and then work one's plane to good shooting position. Why cant they simply sit tight in our sights so that we could just squeeze the trigger and get the kills????
...
Seriously, many people have a lot of fun hunting buffs and finding GVs and flying jabo attacks against them.
HTC Pleeeeease....
Separate Furball Arena would be great. I bet that even the most devoted strat guys would visit it sometimes, but most of all the MA would become more playable for those who also want other things than constant furballs.

Heh, whoopee you stupid tards...
I'm laughing so hard I about shat meself. This forum is a movie I swear.

In the next group therapy meeting, McMurphy begs Nurse Ratched to rearrange the "carefully worked out schedule" of the work detail so that the inmates can watch the opener of the 1963 World Series baseball game (at Yankee Stadium) on television, adding: "a little change never hurt huh? A little variety?" To intimidate his liberating challenge to the leadership of the ward and to cause no disruption to the ward's precise schedule, she refuses: "Some men on the ward take a long, long time to get used to the schedule. Change it now and they might find it very disturbing."
Lol, don't worry Laz, you'll get through. And DRippy will toejam himself if you get any of Hitechs attention. Too funny.
Anyway, why does every AH thread remind me of this?
I love this game.

:eek: Finnish subtitles in that pic. It is not a pic of our squadron night though... honestly... :D
"Se osuu. Kunnari!" = "It (he?) hits. Homerun!"

Well, I'd be the first to agree that lazs is a lazy baby seal vultcher, just looking for easy kills, but....
If the bar dar is supposed to represent intelligence information compiled from observer reports, it isn't too unreasonable that those observers would differentiate between aircraft, ground vehicles, and boats.

because its still in beta? :)
-
WOW!!!
I agree with Lazs!
I AGREE WITH LAZS
(gonna mark my calendar)
Seriously, I think it's great fun blowing up fools in trucks and it makes no sense that they should be incorportated in the same dar category as planes.

preon... you agree with me on everything... you just haven't realized it yet.
