New announcement: Radar Settings

[The Fugitive]

I am looking forward to this!! I may have to re-arrange my schedule a bit to have some time to fly week nights again.

Sunday was miserable flying. I had switched to Bish looking for fights....had a few fun runs against the knights off to one side of the map....the rest of the bish were running NOE mission after NOE mission. Even the rest of the bish where complaining about NOEs !!

While the changes don't take away the NOEs.... bet you see a lot of them on coastal bases.... it does make it harder and I think will open up more combat.

As a side note, to all you guys who love running NOEs and are not happy with the changes....... remember back when I posted all those "dooms day" post about changing how you play before HTC changes things for you..... Well I told you s...<SLAP!>

OK... this change is just fine.. and even though I am a member of a squad that frequents NOE missions, I actually do support the change.... with a couple of... 'enhancements'...

1> If Radar is down at a base, it should revert back to the original 12K distance, and increase height to about 200ft or so for the base to flash.

So you can send a patsy to suicide strafe the tower before resorting to the standard NOE strategy? No thx.

Thank you HTC.

Good, very good, now certain Bish squads won't be able to continuously steam roll Knights 24/7... Its like a JOKE or something.... 
Change is good, wtg HTC.

Going to love seeing this, but I can only imagine the whines to come.

Seems to work very well NOE is still very doable but .............requires a bit of skill to achieve............... over land there is no route 1.   

Longer range radar is Ok and the base flash is as it was and sort of OK left at that when dar is down.

If stuff can be picked up 65ft off the ground should we not be showing incoming fleets with con towers well above 65ft?

Base are still very capturable the same level of co-ordinated attack achieves the same as it did before..... hording is less productive however.

Thank you HTC.     

Can't wait to get home and play

Nice.  I wish my account was active so I could log on and enjoy the whines.

Why do you care, you do nothing but vulch anyway

The tears of unfathomable sadness, yummy

This is a great thing for large squads!!!  no more small groups of guys sneaking fields!!!!  No more sneaky goons!!!!  More dropping all hangers and steamrolling fields with unopposable numbers!!!  More high alt grabbing so intercepting is more difficult and less low level fights between fields!!! 

I guess swerving to avoid killing that squirrel has paid off in happy karma coming to moi!!

2 thumbs up!!!!  More if I had them!!!

Well you still can NOE but it's extremely, extremely hard. I did it in a 262 earlier...50 feet off the deck and it was quite nerve racking to say the least. This was over water though, over land you will not see another NOE again me thinks.

[RTHolmes]

pfff if you're not dodging trees its not NOE ...

[groundfeeder]

65 is to low........radar even now cant detect object in hilly terrain at certain altitudes.....one good thing is the spies with second accounts will have them for no reason now!

[Zazen13]

Praise God. This will go a long way to thwart the fight-allergic, NOE, milk-running, back slappers. Let's see how much back slapping they do now that they will actually have to fight for fields...<gets popcorn ready>

We have already seen the first successfull NOE'S with the new settings. Maybe the hordes will just get bigger too, and more FH dropping.
