Butcher868 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Radar Station Döbraberg At Döbraberg, the US Air Force operated a radar station starting in 1961. Since the 1960s, German Air Force soldiers were also stationed there, and in 1974, the facility was officially taken over by the Bundeswehr. The currently existing spherical radar dome on the ridge (previously there were sometimes two or three domes) gives the mountain a distinctive appearance and is a visible landmark from afar. Due to its proximity to the border of the GDR, this radar station was part of NATO's air defense system during the Cold War. A large part of the Döbraberg summit was a military restricted area. The station has since lost its significance but is still in use, including for civilian airspace surveillance. The last active military unit of the Bundeswehr was the Detached Technical Platoon 132, part of Operations Control Wing 1, which was disbanded in 2013. As part of the Bundeswehr's restructuring, the RRP 117 radar station is now operated by the Detached Technical Platoon 357, which belongs to Operations Control Wing 3. nullnull 4 Intel Core i9 13900K; Palit GeForce RTX 4090; 64GB Kingston FURY DDR5 Steam | Discord | Twitch | YouTube | Instagram
Northstar98 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 (edited) Agreed, but with a catch (and this goes for every EWR site). The sites should be suitable for placing functional units on, in this case, we'd ideally have the towers without the radome (just a flat base) - allowing us to place a functional radar on top. We could then have a static object for the radome, which could then be placed over the top. This way the sites can actually be used in missions and directly impact gameplay, in the way they would have IRL, instead of only being eye-candy that's non-functional. Previously, we've only ever had purely decorative EWR sites that were non functional (unless they were completely empty). We could use scenery object-deleting zones but they would delete everything.
