I wish planes leaving the map would display a dot......

as if they are within a dar ring.

Apparently, many feel that leaving the map is a legitimate tactic as evidenced by the fact that most every run on all country cities and headquarters were run by bombers who had left the map.

I'm sorry but.... Is there a wish here?  You can always see friendly "dots" no matter how far off the map they are.

(at least I do.... but I pay extra)

Maybe I'm not understanding the wish?



See Rule #4
Now I only pay because of my friends.

The map was full of both red and green arrows today.

My point is that the red arrow should be replaced by a dot because the person leaving the map has decided he needs the advantage of the enemy only seeing a red arrow rather than the dar bar which tells of the amount of enemy or friendly cons in that sector.

We can already see friendly dots off the map.

Multiple sets of bombers were represented by a single arrow that crept from the enemy territory around the periphery of the map before suddenly showing a large dar bar as they showed up only a few miles from the city.

What people are doing is defeating the purpose of the dar bar.

There is not one particular side doing this exclusively and it is rapidly becoming more common at an alarming rate.

Give us the dots we see when inside a dar ring when someone decides to game the game by flying off the map.

what should really happen is if you leave the map then you explode.  just that simple.

I remember the first version of motocross madness in which the arena was a box canyon with steep walls.

If you somehow made it up and out, you could drive along until you ran into an invisible wall that viciously backhanded you high into the air to the center of the arena as you made a falling bomb sound heading to the ground.

That was pretty funny.

Would be cool to have alien UFO's attack off-map planes. Like something out of a sci-fy.

They should go boom.  Flying off map is taking combat avoidance a bit too seriously.

Oh, you see I was confused that your post started with most every run on a city or HQ.  I had no idea that two B17s means "most every"

Totally my bad, I'm wrong.

You're right

I'm pathetic

You are godlike :aok
