Thank you

AN/FPS-117 - again very long range air search

With the land radars the behavior is the same

Only with the Arleigh Burke could be see that the first aircraft detected are the C-130 and B-52, then the F-15E, F-16 and F-18 and last the stealth aircrafts

Land radars, likely scope limit modelling.

T45 as I would have expected at 10000 metres, thats the radar horizon, so can't see further.

Only in the modelled OTH-B radars will you exceed the radar horizon. Which is what BDukes observes with his Rezonans-N test.

You also have to recall that RCS modelling in the game is limited to just 2 bands in our version. A through D and E through M

There is a world of difference between an A band radar and a D band one, similarly with an E band radar vice an M band one.

Thank you for the explanation!

Is this still an issue, after the guided weapon signature changes in the v499+ DBs?
