[CHECKING] AA radar is able to track HARM.

Some time ago I found out that the AA radar F / A-18 is capable of tracking the AGM-88C HARM. He is even able to track it very well, which I tried to record on the attached track. I really don't want to believe that the APG-73 in AA mode is able to track HARM. So it's not a bug that I'm 100 percent convinced of, but I have doubts that it's so easy to track an anti-radar missile with radar from a fighter plane.

9L I do wonder if it's because the RCS of missiles is too big. For example this is an ANSYS run on the RCS of the AGM-86 someone did. As you can see frontally the RCS is very small right around the 0.001m^2 mark. In DCS the HARM is something like 0.015m^2 which is much bigger than even the AGM-86 results. Of course one also has to wonder if the AN/APG-73 in game is over performing as well. Imo it's most likely a symptom of both.
