I would disagree. The hornet has the best SA page out of all the aircrafts in DCS. The fact that you are able to put a detailed and visible topographic map immediately gives the hornet the +1 to SA. It doesn't matter if the viper has more yeet factor and range than the hornet if its acm mode and ability to lock on a target is weaker and slower than the hornet. If you face a pilot with a very good understanding of MAR and 120c characteristics then they could trash all of your missiles until wvr. The hornet pilot can then use the terrain from the SA page to predict where the viper will pop up next and use the most effective ACM mode. I've splashed flankers, tomcats, and vipers all because I can tell exactly when I've lost AWACS/radar coverage on the bandit and where the next most likely spot said bandit will pop up.

I've supposedly landed too hard on one of my landing and I had to repair the the bird. Once I repaired it, I got everything started back up and I tried to connect to the datalink master mode but to no avail. I've tried to connect to the net using CLINK on the right mfd but it wont connect. I've resetted the radio control handover at the bottom left side but I'm still not able to connect. Is there any way to connect to datalink after repairing the plane or do I have to respawn everytime?

I also had the same problem while on the tail of an f18 in the growling sidewinder server. I tried locking him up with vt, no joy. i tried boresight mode, no joy. HUD mode? No joy. I was within guns range too so I don't know if its a distance thing or that the radar is a bit bugged.
