anlq Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Hi everyone. Does anyone notice that AI always have the better radar than ours regarding MiG-21 bis module ? I tried a mission with 2 ships formation, AWACS available. On this mission I encounter a pair of F-5s, but the weird thing is A.I wingman has superior radar than ours. He always spot those F-5s at longer distance than my plane's radar. In this case it's 35-45km away (out of MiG-21 radar range). He even detects spike at his 10'oclock. This is not normal I think. I attach this mission for anyone who interests.Weapons Training.miz
vicx Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Interesting. It might be a bug or an undocumented feature Just today I was testing the ability of AI aircraft to identify and locate ground units. I'm playing Combined Arms as a Tactical Commander (Fog of War ON) and I noticed that enemy aircraft were mapping the position of my ground units from ridiculous stand-off ranges. So I set up a test mission using the F-86 because AFAIK it has no search radar or RWR. The F-86 was able to detect SAM units from exactly 50km away and mark them on the opfor tactical map. That is some pretty good visual recon. If I turn off the SAM units radar then the visual detection range goes back to a more reasonable value of ~10km (which is still 5x better than I can do in DCS with a 1080P monitor). I have only just started looking at this and my next step will be to ask the unit which sensor it used to get the detect. I'll need to use a LUA script but I'm still reading up on how the sensors work.
Cornbread Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Yes, I've noticed this as well, but I understood this was a case of my wingman having a superior RWR. He always gets spiked before I do. Edited November 1, 2014 by Cornbread clarifying [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Flagrum Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Yes, I've noticed this as well. Interesting. Just stumbled upon a bug in the AI version of the Sabre: it can detect SAMs although it has no RWR. The LUA files for the Sabre define that it has a "Abstract RWR" (generic RWR implementation). Maybe this is something similar with the MiG? (can't check the LUAs .... as once more the LUA obfuscation used by LNS bites me in the a** as it prevents reading the LUA code ...)
