Wow. 14 pages to read up on and I got to hand it to you guys, some of you gave me some really rich quotes and performances. I got me a new video, 44 minutes of this so called "gv dar" and you are all going to have to watch the whole dayam thing, just like I had to endure, if you intend to have yourself considered informed on the subject. After all, I could not have made it without many of you.
During the course of the video, I get nowhere. I enter a field and immediately begin to withdraw from it. No shots fired, none taken, basically a waste of time - 44 minutes of it. I never flashed the field and only briefly flashed town. Nonetheless I was searched mercilessly and prevented from towering to continue my game elsewhere.
Cybro was kind enough to make an appearance, by virtue of his FM2 ditched very close to the runway, we are able to see that during this entire video, the only tank, mine, never approached within 7k of that runway. By that measure the field would not flash, it did not flash, but that wasn't good enough for Wiley, who spent 25 of those 44 minutes glommed to the gv dar square, with me stuck watching his ineptitude. It took him two sorties to make the dawning conclusion that he might best affect the war elsewhere - and DartDig, what's up with that guy, almost 15 minutes in a storch over a field that isn't flashing smoking for tanks that do not advance. Storches should run out of gas after 15 minutes, this is absurd.
I know you won't trouble yourself to watch the entire thing, it is so booooring. Wiley makes his appearance at 15:00 and stays until the end and never drops a bomb anywhere near my tank. 20:20 is a nice perspective segment and to give you an idea of the distances involved, the typical trip from spawn to field, or town, is somewhere around 6k and occasionally a little over. Cybro's distance of 12 to 14k indicates we are twice as far out, I am beyond spawn distance and Wiley has NO business searching me out there and HiTech has facilitated the moronosity. I overlayed two screen shots of the clipboard showing how far out I was when the tanks where searching me and then just Wiley. You can see in the end it is just he and I and when he got far enough away for me to get a green end I took it. When Cybro is not in the player list, it is because I am over 14k from him and the field.
You misunderstand.
You are threatening to quit if the GV dar is not removed. Therefore you would stay, but only if you can hide.
What I'm saying is, it does not matter if you're hiding or just gone. Either way, you not participating in the fight.
The GV dar is a tool to bring back balance to the total combat system that was lost when the icons changed.
You don't like being hunted now? I say "Good." At least you're risking something now when you try to sneak a base or pork a strat.
You will want to demonstrate in this example how this balances the game. I went to a field and decided it was too heavily defended to press the attack. I am not hiding, I am not creeping, I am between 7k and 14k from the airfield and beyond, simply trying to get a green end sortie, which took 45 minutes to accomplish. In the video I drive for most of the duration, going to cover only for the bombers. It is not at all fair and balanced, that after withdrawing from an attack, I should have to wait 45 minutes and drive 10k, or suffer a proxy kill to someone that couldn't even take advantage of this fancy new "game balancing" gv dar. It is an insult to even begin to pretend this is a fair alternative to "airwars with human manned defenseless tanks to kill," because it is a far cry from a combat simulator.
The GV's are here to be food for attack planes.
Indeed. This is a typical sortie for me. I don't go to a field to hide, I go to attack and often end up getting driven to cover. I've had the freaking storches follow me all the way across sectors back to friendly fields. It is moronic, purposeless and this gv dar encourages the behavior.
