Wonder what Titanic Tuesday would be like if DAR could only go down by killing the HQ and everyone can see every green and red dot on the whole map from sea level up? You might get many more small fights all over the place instead of the hiding in hoards. Human nature would reason if everyone can see all dots on the map everywhere, a fight with a single dot is safer than with a hoard of dots after the anonymity NOE and squad hoards have given players. This might even change the nature of missions to sending boxes of high alt bombers with escorts to carpet a field first, then GV and JABBO to clean up and capture after.

Updating DAR so everyone can see all dots everywhere at all times would probably impact game play with stutters. But maybe it wouldn't..... If I were a newbie and most of the time only saw the red dar bar in a sector rather then all the dots and their locations, I'd stick with flying with the hoard so I would have a chance to land and see my name with kills next to it.

Scotch get HiTech to change the carrot and the newbies will change with it.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.
