AKAK--
Remember you ALWAYS had the sector counters in AW though. Plus sectors were a lot smaller than AH sectors. Generally AW provided the pilot with more information than AH does (AW encouraged fighting instead of hiding and milkrunning).
As for AH, I dont' much care that they do with the dot dar, but we NEED the sector counters as a means of locating the action.
Who in their right mind wants to fly around for 30 minutes to MAYBE see action? When dar is down, one thing you can count on is to NOT get accurate info from your countrymates so locating anything to fight is more luck than anything else. NOT fun.
