See further discussion here when this video was leaked. This isn't a suggestion or an event, it's something we're doing right now on Combat Box during our Apollo campaign!

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round, and lend me your ears! Attention all you brave pilots of the virtual skies! Today, on **Combat Box**, we proudly introduce to you the Radio Control Intercept system, a marvel that'll whisk you back to the thrilling days of World War II, where the art of air defense coordination was a matter of life and death!

 

This Radio Control Intercept system takes its inspiration from those iconic big map tables used during the Second World War, where the fate of nations hinged upon a swift and accurate response.

 

But, my friends, make no mistake, the radar in this system is no all-knowing oracle. Just like its real-world counterpart, it has its limitations. It's a tool, not a magic wand, and it still demands individual pilot skill and situational awareness.

 

Now, the radar's data-gathering speed is a finicky thing. It dances to the tune of aircraft proximity to radar stations and their flight behavior, just like in the good old days. These radar pings, they provide updates every 5-10 seconds to the Radio Control Intercept system, slowing the flow of information to a crawl.

 

And let me tell you this, folks, the RCI can only give you rough estimates. Aircraft locations and altitudes are approximated to the nearest 1000 meters. You might be guided toward an enemy blip on that screen, but it's up to you and your sharp eyes to pick them out against the vast sky. Oh, and here's the kicker, contacts can stack into a single radar ping, adding to the suspense and the strategic thrill of your missions. Will it be one bogey or a whole swarm?

 

But hold onto your hats, there's more. Those radar stations, they can be taken out by a clever foe, narrowing the RCI's field of vision. Remember, radar can be dodged by flying low, even by your own side. So, adapt your tactics accordingly, my fellow aces!

 

With all these challenges, communication is the lifeline. In the wild chaos of the skies, both friend and foe might initially appear as mere blips on the radar while it gathers its precious data. However, worry not, for friendly pilots on SRS with their established call signs will mostly be identified by the RCI, giving you a leg up in the coordination game.

 

Now, my friends, if your curiosity is piqued and you yearn to know more, watch the attached video. 

 

The RCI system will be at your disposal throughout the Apollo Campaign, which isn't a standalone event but an integral part of our server infrastructure. (Just as TAW and FvP are not standalone events but part of our server's ongoing offerings.) So, seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in this exhilarating experience, exclusively on Combat Box! https://combatbox.net/en/
