Lagging Radar
« on: January 29, 2015, 06:57:45 PM »
Does anyone notice some irregularity in the way radar is picking up cons?

I will climb towards a base with nobody up, and no radar pops up until i am in within icon range of the cons, over the enemy base.  At the same time, the cons are at 7k roughly over their base?  Shouldn't I have seen the dar bar prior to this point, as they were climbing?  :cheers:

What number is this one guys?  5?


Get use to it until the new update hits, unfortunately.  From here on out, ALWAYS assume that there is an enemy or group of enemies in the area at alt regardless of what the map shows. :aok

Sorry, i guess.   :headscratch:

It wasn't meant as, "oh boo hoo, get over it" type of thing.  I do believe this is the 5th tread I've seen on this issue.  Probably less though.  I've not seen this myself yet, but I have heard a few squaddies bring it up now and again.

As mentioned before, just have to get use to it until the update (if it "fixes" it).  Honestly, the thought of a surprise like that makes me interested. :)  You just won't really know what's out there and till you are there.  Can't rely on the dar bar anymore, only your eyes. :D  Those who are squad oriented furballer's will probably enjoy this more than the solo's.  Base takers will probably not like it as much, but with base taking so...dull, this little spice will do just that, spice it up. :aok

  I saw some weird stuff too on 1/28/2015. On several occasions I'd see an enemy dot with no dar bar in the sector. Very strange.

that can happen, if a plane is more than 60 ft agl but below 250 (i think it is) they show a dot on radar but no darbar.

Yes Lazer I have seen that also. Its like I can see my friendly dots and friendly green dar and then when I'm nearly reached the enemy base the Red(enemy) dar goes full blast and cons are over 6-7K. I should of seen the dar rise as i was approaching right?

Yep.  Its been in the bug reports with film and screen shots a few times.  My guess is that the big update is priority for coading time.

   Hopefully we will be complaining about the sonar in the update.  :ahand
