NO ENEMY DAR SHOWING IN SECTOR
« on: February 20, 2013, 11:13:36 PM »
  Since the last patch, many of my squadmates and myself have encountered enemy aircraft 10,000K and higher, flying through a sector, and not showing the typicail red radar graph on the upper left of that particular sector.  (HQ is fully up at the time of this occurance). This seems to happen sporatically, and has happened in several arenas and maps. Many of us see this happen at the same time. I have no recordings of this event. If anyone sees this happen, please send the recording to this post.  It does make things difficult, when u feel u are flying in friendly skys, to just suddenly lose high perk planes to an unknown  high alt. enemy flyer swooping down to get an easy kill. Thanks.

I've noticed this happen for a while now. Someone would call for help at an airbase. I check the map and see either a tiny dar bar or none at all. I figure it's NOE so I switch to the base to get a plane up. When I look out the tower I see 20 or 30 planes flying around vulching the field. Only then does the dar bar update and show a sector full dar bar.

Dar bar just doesn't seem to work right until you're within icon range of the planes.

It's most obvious when you can hear the 4 me163s coming for your bomber at 34,000 feet before a dar bar even displays.

I've noticed that some planes leaving the arena boundary and going below 60 feet might not generate a dot or darbar when they come back into the arena and climb.

We have noticed this in MW also. Don't know for sure how long, but at least the last 2 patches.
