[CHK] AA Radar Velocity Search mode displays target range on HSD Datalink. AA Radar can transfer trackfiles from one mode to another, including AG GMTI/SEA hits.

The JF-17's radar can display target range on the HSD with datalink enabled if the target is detected by Velocity Search. IRL, Velocity Search cannot determine range, only closure rate and bearing/azimuth.

 

Not only that, the JF-17 radar can also transfer hits from VS to RWS or TWS, and vice-versa. You can then quickly bug them with the TDC before the radar refreshes itself and acquire a SAM/TWS lock at much farther distances that either of those two modes can even detect them.

 

You can also momentarily see AG GMTI or SEA1/2 hits on AA radar if you switch to AA master mode before the radar refreshes itself, and even lock onto ground units in AA mode for a few moments.

A head-on Su-33 flying at M 0.8 and 36000 ft, detected by VS at 80+nm, could be locked on in SAM/TWS by quickly switching radar modes after being spotted in VS. Normally, TWS/RWS would detect that same target at 65.6nm, as seen in the .trk. The VS exploit extended lock range by 15nm or more.
