Allow Long Range Radar Network

[oldpop2000]

I would like to suggest that the game allow the player to develop, deploy and use a long range radar network like SAGE. It would consist of long range radar stations with 200-400 mile search sets and one or two height finders. The sites would detect and track unidentified targets then send the information to a centralized direction center like NORAD which would then scramble fighters to intercept the incoming targets. It could also include missile batteries near cities like  the AADCP's or army air defense command posts which had Nike Zeus and Hercules missiles all controlled by the centralized direction center.

I feel that this would be a welcomed addition but would not require a lot of complexity. 

Here is a link that briefly explains the SAGE or semi-automatic ground environment air defense system. The game could use the Chain Home system of 1940 as a start slowing migrating to SAGE with technological development of RADAR, computers, surface to air missiles and airborne early warning radars.

To help understand, I have used Google Earth polygon to build a system of lines.  Sorry I am not good at drawing but I hope this provides the general idea. This system could be researched individually then the AI could build and manage the whole system without the player having to manage it unless the player wants to.
