sure HOPE this is a bug report

[molybdenum]

The map that's currently on (don't know its name, 2PM PST) was fine 8 hours ago, but now every player--friend or foe, bomber, fighter, or GV--is visible to all. Is this a bug? Or some horribly misguided idea to help people "find a fight"? I thought GV dar was bad, but this...!

Reeeeely hoping it's a bug.

Are you talking "icons" or on the map?

If icons you may have cycled through to the "no icons" setting. "ALT I" are the keys to cycle through. As for the map, is dar dead? check the HQ and city

I think he said visible to all not invisible to all.

I set full radar on in the arena. It's not a bug.
There is now a MOTD posted.

Nice.

Nice. 

Nice for fighter pilots. Not nice for anyone else.

[ONTOS]

I like it for my country, but not for other countries to see my country.

[Vraciu]

Nice for people who like to fight. Not nice for anyone else.

FIFY.

I'm sure Hitech will tweak it, but he's on the right track.

LOOOOOVE how you edited my post vraciu.

 I said "Nice for fighter pilots. Not nice for anyone else."

You pretended to say I said "nice for people who like to fight. Not nice for anyone else."

If you have to LIE to further an agenda, what does that say about the validity of your agenda?

Lowlife.

If HT goes with the all radar all the time, there will be no need for radar circles or dar bars.  The only advantage is, with so few players, you can see where to go to the fighters and bombers, instead of searching for them. I do not like it.

I hope it is just an experiment, don't care for it at all. It kills the game for my style of play.

Most action I've seen in weeks!!!

With a few tweaks I think it's a winner.  More importantly, new players will actually see action instead of dar bars.

May want to hide GVs and have either terrain masking or a radar floor, but otherwise I love it.   Gives a sold sense of action.   +10000

[715]

Full radar is often used for tank night in the AvA.  It makes flanking a target essentially impossible.  The enemy tank knows where the attacking tank is at all times and can just position his frontal armor against it.  Up a Tiger II, the frontal armor of which is nearly impervious to any other tank, and win every battle.  The AvA usually counters this somewhat by adding a delay time to the GV radar update (and by almost never enabling the Tiger II).

Personally, I suspect I will not like this change at all: it devolves tank battles to simple brute force frontal jousting.  No setting up ambushes at choke points, no hiding hull down, no shoot and scoot, just point at each other and bang bang.
