I always felt that the 3 color radar was a bit too simplistic now that we have an updated attack routine and wanted to see how the players viewed my suggestion:

5 color radar!

Green - near certainty of winning the attack, but that unlucky miss could still happen.
Blue - above average chance of winning
Yellow - could go either way
Orange - above average chance of losing
Red - near certainty of loss, but you might get lucky.

Let's hear what people think.

I think it would take awhile to get used to the new colours no matter what they were but apart from that I like the idea. The more we know the better we can play.

Green - supreme chance of winning
yellow - might win
blue - either way
Orange - could lose
red - good chance to lose...

That seems better to me...I mean, with yelllow, it's somewhat of a go, but witt caution, ya know?

sounds like a good idea to me with 5 colors

apart from bcp and seacap i never ever see anyone red. havent seen even one. so for me it's just blue or green, and that's not alot

I was looking at it from an everyday usage type of thing, when driving green is go, yellow is caution and red is stop, danger. Midway between yellow and red is orange, and while green is actually between blue and yellow, I think the green should stay on the bottom.

yeah...I was thinking about the colors of roadstuff...

I mean, if it's yellow, you tend go...

but when the orange "don't walk" sign is up, you might look both ways
