DackSter94 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Noticed that it is very hard to pick anything up within 30 miles. Turns out that altitude coverage is very small. In the screenshot below you can see that at 40 miles radar covers only 12000 feet. If we do some math here, that is about 2.8 degrees only (in 4 bars!)!

Fri13 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 12000 ft is a huge range, consider that it is 3600 meters, or 3.6 kilometers. And that is as well not a problem, considering a modern electronic warfare where this aircraft is designed to operate, not in a cold war era but in 2006 and forward, the most modern aircraft there is in DCS, and as well most advanced. So if you are scanning a space front of you at 55 km (30 nmi) range and there at 3.6 km vertical, that is a huge volume. With that 3.6 km vertical space you should be able to find your targets as you are informed where to scan by the datalink or radio. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Imagine finding something at 20 miles, most a2a combat happens under that in DCS (if not under 10). For reference: Alt coverage of some aircraft in DCS at 40nmi at 4 bars: M2K: 10.4km F-15C: 12.8km JF-17: 3.7km :megalol: Edited December 9, 2019 by DackSter94 LOOK MA, NO HOOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toilet2000 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If I'm not mistaken, this has been fixed (next OB) according to: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4131877&postcount=2 It seems like they computed the elevation using only half of the antenna beam width, so elevation coverage should be double what it is currently.
