Huesudo Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Multirole aircraft like the F-15E, F-16, F/A-18, Su-30 and so on have radars capable of searching for both air and ground targets. Does the AI actually use the radar to search for ground targets? I've done some tests and I'm not sure of it. IR Maverick-like missiles and targeting pods DO increase the AI's detection distance however.
Ktulu2 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I have no info on this, but I highly doubt it : one of the big challenges for the F-18 is the A2G radar, and I see no reason why ED would have spent time simulating it. I think it works more like Kh-58 (or wathever the actual name is) : you see the sources emiting radar, but no more, but this is just a guess.
