I see you posted the same in the forums. My understanding of Air Marshal
Mode is that there will be a single player that can see that can see a kind of
'Plotting Table' showing all the enemy aircraft that have been spotted by radar
and I am guessing he also sees all the friendlies. One of the servers on CLoD
had a similar automated version that could see groups of aircraft and send you
a vector and range on request but I don't think it gave accurate sizes and did
not see singles at all. ACG had a fantastic radar for use by a dedicated
player that saw everyone in range of the English coastal radar and plotted
singles as well and could show trails. It was pretty impressive. I think
Air Marshal will be somewhere in the middle.
I don't think a single player trying to direct groups of fighters towards
incoming raids by giving vectors based on the last sighting and guessing where
the best intercept will occur can compare with something in your cockpit giving
you precise personalised info about what is around you as if you were carrying
your own 360 radar.

We most definitely have thought it through, air Marshall is “probably” going
to do this exact same thing, so that’s why I said this is a storm in a teacup.
Tacview isn’t the problem, it gets no more of a data stream than your gun
camera/track. And as for people having this installed already, we have no
evidence of that from our bounces. Not sure how ithat little window would even
display info for multiple planes.

I don't think you thought that through. Imagine if every prospective victim
you find on your patrols has a little message in the corner of their screen
telling them that there is a pair of enemy aircraft 2km behind the 3000m higher
then they see the altitude suddenly start decreasing rapidly. You will never
get a bounce on an unsuspecting target again. Not just that but every enemy
fighter for miles around will be heading your way even though they are all
still beyond visibility range and they will all know how high they need to be
to be sure of having an alt advantage before you spot them.

? So the issue is that some people know where the enemy is? But weren’t you
asking for more radar coverage a while ago? And the new Air Marshall is going
to do just that. I think we have a storm in a teacup brewing here.
