Radar Testing

I mean what I said. Not the words you try to put into my mouth.

You still would have people in the tower vectoring friends to targets.  So I would expect pretty much the same thing. 

They could assign a new category like  fighter, bomber, attack and  Radar Operator/observer

you mean you can't sneak into a base to vulch the runway right

Have one of your homies up a tank and defend the place.  I thought action was the key here.  Trying to rid a runway of enemy tanks, isn't that action?  Isn't it action when one of your fields or towns is getting over run?  Suppressing a runway so the town can be taken, jeez some folks call that tactics.  I suppose it's perfectly ok to suppress a runway with 3 fighters circling and vulching, though.

He was describing what some refer to as a "tactical" move.

Still not the issue. 

Upping for defense is optional.    The notion you should be able to roll up on a base and bang away all day undetected is sheer lunacy.

Yo bet lets get into this cell phone arcade style of playing. I will wait to see what he comes up with but if it is anything as stupid as it is now I am done with the game. So have fun with your point and shoot style of play as it is now.

gldnbb is living in the past. AH2 is gone, get over it-quit comparing then to now.
or now to then.

No one rolls up to a base undetected and bangs away all day. Even in the old pre GV dar days if a base was flashing someone would check it out and know if someone was hammering a base.

Still not the issue.

If the notion that "you should be able to roll up on a base and bang away all day undetected" bothers you, does a set of 30k Ki-67's deacking your field to set up the vulch bother you?  Do NOE raids that take out guns first and then vulch the runway bother you? 

Making an argument that the game needs more action, then complaining when that action it's literally sitting there on your runway shooting at you while your base flashes, is facile.

People thinking that GVs can stay undetected near fields simply never tried pressing F5 in tower.

Only if they’re shooting. 

Don’t be obtuse. 

A guy could flash a base in his chute, too.   

GV warning bars act as eyes on the ground.   They’re a substitute for the realism you claim to crave. 

“Tanks!   Tanks!  Help!”

If the player base chooses to ignore that warning fine.   I, OTOH, use it to land somewhere I won’t get sniped.

You can’t “[press] F5 in tower (sic)” when you’re in the cockpit of a P-51.

No, because those mimick real life just like GV warning bars do.

What’s facile is your entire premise—namely that nobody would ever notice or be informed of the presence of a GV on the field except by looking for it in the tower or being blasted by it as you spawn.

I don’t find GVs as action in any form. They’re a walking talking double-standard one-way street of gaminess.    I love dropping 1K-pound bombs on them and that’s about all the use for them I have.    Glad they help fund the game at least.

Your definition of “action” is griefing spawning or landing airplanes.   Real sporting.  At least with a vulched field I know to up or land elsewhere.

Well at least we can agree that GV dar is good.  But the hypocrisy of saying "more action is good", then turning your nose up at some action right there on your field, is pretty breathtaking.

So vulching a runway with an airplane is probably A-ok for you, but do it in a GV and it's "griefing."  Right.

How much action am I gonna get landing with a damaged plane out of ammo or being blasted as I spawn?

Not much.

Glad we agree as well.
