I think that I use radar much less than most people, but still enough. Its not very big, maybe one or two above default, heck, it may be below the default. Its certainly possible that I will go without the radar for a good span of time, especially with BU. Occasionally I suffer for it, but hey, its how I play.
Obviously, this will vary from game to game, on Planet MoFo I use it less than I do playing Pillbox.
I think what size the radar is tells alot about you as a player and your style.

I obviously use the radar a lot. But i wonder if we all use the window a lot more than we realise.... Remember that the only way you can tell the direction a tank is facing is out of te window, unless you can see their movement on the radar. I would say that i use the window subconsciously a lot more than i realise.

Excellent point. I like to drive in reverse a lot, being that most players simply use radar. It looks like you're facing te other way on radar. They often jump right in front of you expecting you to be facing in another direction.Spazzy Mcgee wrote:I obviously use the radar a lot.

Same here, if im above or below someone i'll drive in reverse till they make the first move. Its quite suprising how many people you trickTangenT wrote:I like to drive in reverse a lot, being that most players simply use radar. It looks like you're facing te other way on radar.

So like everyone else the radar is a MUST

nah, its easy to tell. Reverse gear is much much slower than forwardGrace F wrote:Same here, if im above or below someone i'll drive in reverse till they make the first move.

spazzy: I seriously only use radar 95% of the time. I've trained my subconscious to ignore the window, it usually ends up killing me, unless I'm executing a jump shot.
Beware! I'm going to clone myself and spread those clones all over the world!

But about the reverse speed vs. forward speed... there are still ways to be sneaky with that. We don't always have to drive full-speed ahead, after all.
Especially those of us using joysticks.
