Guys, I'm at a complete loss with this radar, and I feel like its detection capabilities are completely trashed.
I've just played on a PVE MP server where hostiles are visible in F10.
I am not even able to spot an ennemy under 20 NM which are on my 12, same level...
I've tried the different modes BFR, ENT and HFR... No matter the target aspect, speed or elevation, I can't spot ANYTHING until 15-10 miles, which is far too late.
What's even more frustrating is that AI M2000 can easily spike me at over 40 NM...
On the last encounter, I flew right at my target, same flight level, tried ENT and HFR, cone to 30° and 4 lines... Nothing appeared on my VTB. I switched to special mode with the supers when I heard the RWR missile launch alert, and it quickly picked up my target... Too late of course, the missiles were already on me.
I've never had so much trouble with the radar before. I know DCS is a challenging sim, but this is down right insane, and unless I'm doing something VERY VERY wrong (and in this case please correct me), something tells me this is not working as intended.
Cheers.
