This is genius.I absolutely love this idea. They'd provide a ground AWACS type unit,which the game really lacks. I personally dislike the idea of having to build a ton of AWACS to cover your nation effectively,so this could be great. The low defense is also wonderful too,since quick missions to take out enemy warning systems is a modern reality. An idea to add onto this would be 2 things:
1)Disable ability to detect enemy missiles when they first launch,and only be able to see them when in sight/over friendly territory,and;
2)Have a building that can only be constructed in the capitol,'Satellite Network',which allows you to see missiles when they launch,reversing the effects of the last idea.
Overall though,wonderful idea,I hope Germanico likes it

good bro

Nice idea. I'd like to see it. AWACS's range are pretty limited.

would be great would definitely make sure one can actually defend

Very interesting read, noted ! and in terms of cost what do you think ? How far through the game do you think would be suitable for it to be available to build ?

not from day 1, no way, it should be same as awacs or even bit later... otherwise they would be way op. (though id like it from day 1 lol) but range should be huge indeed. and not only cost but build time and upkeep should be costly too, for example it should be like if you have not invaded anything yet that you can only build 1 or 2 of them, but in that case they first have to apply the demolish building option which they will sooner or later. there are already mobile radars. they are called mobile sams and theater defence systems.

Especially the later gives a great cover. If you have 4 of those in your home country and an awacs or 2 you can basically cover almost everything strategically. I think the range of sucha building when placed inside your home country, in the center., it should be that great that it covers 2-3 provinces outside or so. That would make it pure def and coordination weapon, and it wont take away from theaters and awacs.

Concerning costs, i´d say make the build time and resource cost exactly the same as a bunker lvl5.
And I do not think the building should be up-gradable.

Building - no for design reasons. Unit - why not? Added ground radar units to our backlog.
Please also note that your provinces now show all air units - so essentially they have "civilian radar".

//Germanico

They show all air units? Also stealth aircrafts?

well - no - they are stealthy. Sorry for my imprecise description

an awacs can however pick up stealht craft - no radar building? how can we change your mind germanico?

Nope sorry, no radar building. But we are working on the mobile radar units.

Factually the game already has limited "air traffic" radar in your own provinces - and militarily speaking a fixed radar site is a dead radar site.

If you want to use radar in modern war you really should be mobile... for health reasons.

Mobile Radar Units:

• Tier 1 will be light and limited
  
• Tier 2 will be have good range and survivability
  
• Tier 3 will be like 2 but improved range and anti-stealth vs air units
  

Yea a ground based Radar is needed, wouldnt bother with a building. But make the unit slow and similar in properites to TDS, slow and will crushed in a ground fight...

coming.., soon (tm)

Samuel, Im going to play a wildcard here and think you are Brazilian.

Im working on a possible Brazilian Tech tree, maybe come take a look if you have any advice or may just want to take a look XD
