Remove the radar from helicopters

[DJKhaled 3]

Not really fair that anyone who has a helicopter can see every single vehicle on the map

This is why all the groups who repair a helicopter quickly amass all the other helicopters/cars

They should have to fly around and actually search for them

It's there because with the bird eye view you can see pretty much everything.

Not sure that it can even be turned off actually...

While I understand your remark as to being able to see everything from the sky. Many a car and such tends to spawn in a building or somewhere that you wouldn't be able to spot it. I can understand what the guy is saying, now they have this Helicopter and can start picking out what targets they wanna hit. And when a Helicopter they can just fly from spawn to spawn to pick up parts.

So it does make sense to me where he's coming from in that regard.

As I understand it the radar only displays things when you have line-of-sight on them. I've watched the blips vanish as we passed behind an obstruction and then reappear when we emerged on the other side, so the point about cars being hidden is pretty much moot. If they are hidden they already do not appear on the radar.

Additionally this has already been suggested (search button anyone?) and it was stated that it was an aspect of the Arma II engine and thus couldn't really be removed.

Thats an actual part of game engine. I hardly doubt it can be removed

I believe the devs are considering this ready, and I don't see how hard it would be to removed. Even if the actual game mechanic is hard to remove from the mod, it would probably be as simple as removing the actual UI representation from the screen.

ArmA 2 didn't have a radar like how there is in arrowhead. At least, not that I can remember.

Removal of the radar is the most important thing. You can fly around the map, finding all vehicles in a matter of a few minutes this way.
