Title: Radar Bar and NOE attcks
Post by: WBHoncho on April 09, 2002, 10:52:38 AM
I miss being able to sneak up on a base from below radar.  The radar bar still gives you away as is.

Do a search on the keyword "radar". It was a long and hard fought battle. And we lost.

yes hblair. And its really sad to see that a whole raid of 8+ people going NOE can be torn to pieces by a single person that watched the bar dar screaming their presence in sector. Any moron can watch bar dar and up a n1k or spit or la7 and kill 8 people flying NOE heavy planes. Not to mention screwing their entire strike.


IMO, since the fields now blink when an enemy plane is near, i'd say to remove bar dar below 100ft (to make it hard to stay NOE) and make the fields blink if a con is inside a 5 mile radius.

I like the idea of making NOE raids more survivable. But no warning at all? That would be useless in the MA.

if "Base under attack."
then `Blink like it's krimasy`
else "It's your fault for removing the 'Base under attack' warning"

Fear not, Tac

The NOE raids, whether alerted to us by blinking icons or radar bars, will never be any match to a bases' 1-ping ack!

:)

Lost an Ar234 the other night from an ack that shot thru a hangar (was watching the bomb hits from the ext view)

Surely now we have the "Base Under Attack" sound and the christmas tree lights we can now have no dar NOE.

Build a hut, and some may come.  Build a city and the masses will wonder what's cool here and flock like lemmings...  

I fly almost exclussively in the CT.  Simply because I abhor having to shoot down a same-side-plane, even if it's piloted by an enemy.

We populate the CT with some numbers and pretty soon everyone's going to start wandering in and most will say.. "NEAT I don't have to worry bout another 190 shooting mine down!"  
or "Cool, now there's a reason to shoot planes down... it's so I can get a better plane!"

Anywho, thems is me $0.02 USD worth.
