Icedawg -> Snooped vs Spotted vs Followed (4/10/2013 2:15:22 PM)

What's the difference between these?

I'm guessing they indicate increasing levels of detection caused by the aircraft locating an enemy TF. Snoop = quick peek and get away before enemy CAP arrives; Spot = longer look, then bug out; Follow = stay with the TF for an extended period and transmit detailed information regarding composition, speed and course.

Am I close?

I would guess they're no different, Icedawg. Different 'text features' of the same game DL function for gameplay variability would be my guess. I don't see any tangible difference in the DL level for those levels of detection, but I could be wrong.

Any Devs care to opine?

In English, spot is only being seen, as opposed to snoop, which would be a more thorough examination.

"Followed" would be the equivalent of "on station," as in calling in a strike, but that's just language, not game mechanics.

...snooped is where the recon team does a rap song during the debrief, spotted is where an HQ dalmatian mascot is always present at the debrief and followed is what the junior flight crew does to the senior flight crew into the officers' club after the debrief...

In the later , mostly out of curiosity , although occasionally trying to cage drinks would not be amiss. [:D]

True, true. But of course, it builds character! [:D]

I asked this question years ago and was told (by a developer) that the terms are just there for chrome - NO differences between them.
