BOB misc questions

1: Fatigue: Does low altitude and or night flying have an additional or increased fatigue burden? I thought I remembered this from old BTR, but might be getting WiTP or something else mixed up. Didn't see it in the fatigue list in the manual though.

2: Radar: Does all radar get 360 degree coverage, as indicated by the range circles? I understand if this is an engine limitation that they must be, just want to know for my planning. Double-quadruple redundancy from parallel stations, etc.

2B: At what threshold is radar "down"? If I'm playing the RAF, is this going to be an On/off deal or will damage % make radar "fuzzy" so to speak, not consistently working but not dead, etc.

3: As the RAF, if a squadron is up and Jerry plows their base shutting it down, do they relocate to a satellite on their own, or do they grit their teeth and try to dodge the craters?

4-999 will come soon enough. [:)]

Thanks for any info.

from what I remember, yes

2: Radar: Does all radar get 360 degree coverage, as indicated by the range circles? I understand if this is an engine limitation that they must be, just want to know for my planning. Double-quadruple redundancy from parallel stations, etc.

360

2B: At what threshold is radar "down"? If I'm playing the RAF, is this going to be an On/off deal or will damage % make radar "fuzzy" so to speak, not consistently working but not dead, etc.
50%, and basicly, it is a on/off deal

3: As the RAF, if a squadron is up and Jerry plows their base shutting it down, do they relocate to a satellite on their own, or do they grit their teeth and try to dodge the craters?

try to land with the craters, also take a morale loss from having the field bombed, and a decent chance getting the fuel supply burned out

4-999 will come soon enough. [:)]

Thanks for any info.

Thanks!

Pulled out my old BTR manual and been skimming it today. Found the bit on fatigue, for anyone interested:

Each minute of low level and low light flying:  Below 1,000 feet, a random number between 0 & 1,000 is generated, if it is greater than the pilots altitude, the pilot receives 2 fatigue points.

In low light conditions, random number 0-100 generated, if greater than the current light level, 1 point of fatigue.
