bomber request for the current BOG.

[Tyrannis]

will probally take some flak for this, but can bomber pilots have 3k range enemy icons on to substitute having multiple ppl in the bombers at once whatching all angles?. its kinda hard to whatch all angles at once when your the only person in a bomber that is supposed to have multiple eyes whatching diff angles at a time.
 

[B-17]

yeah, that would probably be good, at least if only to get a sense of where they are/where they will be in a bit-->to know which position(s) to cover in

[gyrene81]

ABSOLUTELY...that can be done...










but axis vs allies has nothing to do with the scenario so...  

*thinks someone should have paid more attention to reading rainbow*

sorry i didnt know what to call the curret AvA setup so i just called it BOG since thats what it reminds me of.

just for reference, if you turn it on for bombers, you turn it on for everyone. kind of defeats the purpose.

[gyrene81]

oh so "the 8th comes over" in the motd escaped detection again...

and uh...if you can figure out how to allow icons (even limited range) for just one type of aircraft...it may be considered at some point.

[Shifty]

Wish I could help you Tyrannis, as you do have somewhat of a point. However you can't turn icons on and off for one type of aircraft.

Bombers can utilize the F3 mode, which compensates for having multiple crew members scanning the sky.

Is that turned on or off?

its turned on.

i use it but its still not very effective. when i was flying last night i was attacked by 3 fw190s, i was looking around in f3 mode and still couldnt see them till they were maybe 1.5k out.


another question, whats the minimal alt for radar? because i was flying a b25 trying to raid the coms place, and i got attacked by another kw190, shot him down the first time but he upped against me. i decided to land and try to hide from him until he got bored of searching for me. i didnt think he could see my dot on the ground but apparently he could because he went straight for me as soon as he took off and found me pretty easily (even tho i was partially concealed by some trees)

that was me, and u were almost impossible to find on the ground as you saw me flying around for quite a while and being unable to spot you, i even lost you after i made a guns pass and had to spend another min or two re-acquiring.

before you came in, the settings for radar (dot and darbar) were relaxed to help find fights... i guess it was set at 0 alt and full map.  it took me a while to figure out you had landed, and then as stated above, longer to actually find you on the ground.

yes it was 
eaglehrt was my gunner in my plane, i thought i was being slick by hiding. i was thinking "i'll just hide in the trees like a ninja plane till he leaves".

alot of times i could of sworn you saw me. you flew so darn close. me and eagle got into an argument over it while you were flying too. 

me:"uh oh he sees me...."
eagle:"nah no he doesnt"
you:*flying allmost straight towards me*
me:" no eagle he sees me. *@*!*&"
eagle:" no he doesnt stay down"
you:"flys away at the last second"


one time when you dived down i  was actually afraid you were gonna collide with ether me or the trees  you were that close to me.
