There are dozens of things you guys see in the DCS Hornet that are not the way the real thing works. Some are due to incomplete systems modeling and will make much more sense later in early access (like tons of HOTAS commands), some others are due to ED's misinterpretation of documents that were later corrected after a user pointed it out (JDAM logic, TGP features, etc). I strongly suspect that the whole sensors + TGT logic is wrong and that ED needs to re read the available docs. There is no way any airforce would pay more than 10 dollars to have the systems logic that the DCS Hornet has, no one would have approved that.
