Mista T and the whole A-Team is here to make a fight. We can't shoot straight and don't kill no one, but my fists bust you up real good.

Yup, agree.

Ive allways been against inflight Dar, should be from Tower only or from any plane equiped with it in WWII. And the planes so equiped should be limited to 1 sector of Dar info.

If you don't want dar, just don't open your clipboard. Surprise, there is no dar in your plane then.

I think this is a good idea...at least removing the dot dar in flight, even if the sector bars stay.  Not sure if it'd be better or worse, but I'd like to see

Yep, drop the radar dots in flight.  Keep the sector bars but only if they don't show ground targets, and it's possible to fly low enough to avoid detection.

yeah... let's just ratchet up the boredom factor another notch so that those who spend a goodly portion of their time online have one more advantage that they have "earned".  We certainly want to keep the game evolving and the learning curve rising.... Keeps out the riff raff...  Hey... if you haven't got a couple 4 hours to spend online then maybe you don't deserve a good fite?  Heck the "real" pilots didn't see a fite for a whole tour someimes.

 hmm..

 How about comprimising things a bit?
 
 1) Get rid of individual radar contact dots for both friendly and hostile forces 2)make radar bar indicate size of enemy forces for not 1 sector, but 4(2x2) sectors

 That way, there still is radar information enough to find action, but it is four sectors and you don't know both the location of enemy and friendly. This would necessiate people of same countries to contact each other working in the 2x2 square more often than we do currently(since, flying alone for four sectors would reduce your chances for both surviving AND finding the enemy).

 More chance of survival for buff pilots would encourage them to fly more often/aggresively, and more buffs to be searched within four sectors would also mean more need for organized caps and less meaningless gang-bang furballs.

 And, the sector radio channel could be changed to the 'tactical sector communication', (1 tactical sector = 4 normal sectors) to add more convienience.

 Anyway, the point is to change something so that people still have enough guidance for flight/finding fights, but stop them from engaging and gangbanging in to just 1 airfield with instant access to information.

 I think my idea can solve some of those problems, plus, it would be relatively easy for HTC to change programming.

 What do you people think about it?
