Would also be nice if the TG getting within visual range of the base would start flashing the base, ESPECIALLY if it starts to shell it. I've been told that dar bar represents spotters/intel/ETC, when not inside dot dar. Why is it, that spotters can see my bomber 30k above the sector they are in the instant I enter until I leave, but they can't see a TG that is 5ft off the shore? Don't know how many times I've gone to a base just to check for a sneak only to see an enemy TG parked right off the damn thing (no one is doing anything off it, just sitting there). I've also gotten TG's so close to bases that ye could piss off the flight deck, you'd hit the base's tower.
My point is, a TG that get's within visual range should start flashing the base. If not that, at LEAST if a TG starts to shell the base it'll flash.
