Was playing today on Wake on the mysterious "2nd" AA gun, when I realized how annoying it was to have some lil peon saying "aircraft spotted" on one side of the deck, only to have the J-10 come from a completely other side.

Why doesn't the Essex have some sort of built in "UAV" type scanner? Base rapage has to be a #1 whining topic on Wake, and while manning 2 AA's is definately an advantage in itself, wouldn't it be nice to have some form of radar while in the AA guns? Least then you could see where the jets are coming from.

Seems logical that it'd have that type of device onboard, so it strikes me as odd as to why it wasn't implemented in the first place. Any comments?

(FYI: I'm not an anti "spawn raping" "anti-jet whining" lil peon that throws medpacks on the carrier with a thumb up my ass waiting for the next arty strike.... war isn't fair, so why should a war game be any different)

Also ran a search and nothing came up on the topic.

this is a good addition on the next update. never thought about it

great idea.


i like to base rape when i can. but not the whole level...usually the first 3 mins then i ease off and go find ground targets on wake. i like to rack up a quick 10 kills right away y a know heh

but i dont think even a radar would be that effective in most players hands. im sure alot of people dont even look at the HUD..

Not a bad idea at all! But why would EA implement something useful when they can give us all sorts of worthless crap?

Precisely. Want usefulness? learn how to code

They do its called a J-10 lock - on.

And a commander spotting is basically your radar.

Commander spotting lag is too slow. Having to wait for the red to dissapear before spotting takes time.. and by then the J-10 has blown his wad and headed back for ammo.


The lock-on is useful, but I still think a 360 degree scanner would be a nice addition.

USMC would have two radars then....one commander and one on the Essex. I think it's brilliant, it would involve more people (aircrap) staying away from the Essex to quit dropping wads on the faces of men so they could actually get off of the damn thing..
