[1328.16] Hovering helicopter cannot be detected by radar
Posted: Sat Mar 16, 2024 12:26 pm
Side1 Mi-26 Halo is hovering, Side2 F-16 (w/ AMRAAM) and F/A-18 (Sparrow) approaching using radar. Side2 also has Burke III DDG although sensors other than SPY-6 radar are disabled.
Fighter/ship radar will soon lose detection of Helo as it reduced speed to hover (=0 knot). You will also notice that AMRAAM/Sparrow/SM-6 radar-guiged missiles will not be guided at all and need to get within visual range to use Sidewinder or gun. Adjust Halo's speed to see the differences.
This is another effect of radar velocity filter tweak from .16 update. While this behavior enables another avoid detection trick, but it seems too capable. Believing what Radartutorial says, isn't it possible to detect hovering helicopter's turning blade with newer radar at reduced range? Thanks.
