Radar Testing

[haggerty]

No one created a thread yet to discuss tonight's Radar Test?
I think it is a step in the right direction, however map wide radar is obviously far too powerful, especially with pinpointing vehicles.
I do however think that a country should have full radar coverage within their borders and slightly forward as well.  Hopefully tonight's test is a step towards that setup.  I'd just install more radar towers for an area that change hands with the nearby base, and can be taken down.

It’s in the Bug Reports section.


A dar floor or terrain masking would maybe be worth considering but this is a huge step in the right direction.  Most action I’ve seen in a long time.  Noobs will see players online now, not a blank map.

Given the steep learning curve of AH3 and the experience of the veteran fighter pilots who have been playing this game for many years, is having enemies precisely located more likely to interest new players than it is to get them quickly and repeatedly killed, and thus leave the game in frustration?
A rhetorical question.

It never stopped me in other games.

This was once the greatest realtime tactical sim in the world. Its why I played and many many others.  I understand the move. Numbers are low i get it.  It comes with a cost.  We lost what made this game great awhile back to meet the standards of the now majority.  Seeing moves like this only reaffirms my decision to stop playing.  Yall dont have to see it or understand but this is a very sad day in the history of AH. 

I kept coming back to bbs because i figured maybe things would change.  After this stunt im logging out and never coming back to bbs. We will never have the great tactical play this game was known for ever again.  Players like myself who played for the tactical simulation wont be missed because we are almost extinct.  <S> from the top to the very bottom.

P. S.  You dont try to fix what isnt broke.... Enjoy the shrinking pond.  Cant stand to watch this game get cannibalized anymore.

See you in two weeks. 

I don't get all the complaining about dar.   This is an EXPERIMENT that Hitech is using to gather data.  I doubt this is the final form.   Even so, in WBs we had full radar except below 200' and I don't recall all this crying.   It was fun there and it will be fun here.

May have to go back to generic icons to give the BUFF guys a chance except in dar rings, but hey, it's a great improvement.

My initial observation is that it will be even harder to lone wolf it.  That is bad news for me.

So what does this test mean?  Radar is always on, killing the radar tower at a base has no impact?  Radar is always on?  Big -1 for me.

Obviously in tonight's test that is the case, but I can't imagine that will be the end product.  I'm guessing they want to see more radar coverage, but would be willing to bet it won't be hinder proof in the future.

Yeah, I can see fuzzy sector dar that gets more accurate as you get within range or inside dar rings.   Anything beats the ghost town of before.   Have some faith here people.  Work with the system and let's help Hitech make it better.

I won't be playing this game.  This radar is stupid.

If AH goes full radar I will find something else to doin the evenings.

I personally think full radar for GVs is fine, but for aircraft it is simply too much.

I would say my 17 years invested is under threat. If its being tested which means its being considered.

A change along these lines is something the game needs.   

All these people AVOIDING combat are killing the game, not radar that drives action.
