MBot Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Currently the EWR task is only assignable in the Mission Editor to groups with one of the existing two Russian EWR ground units. I suggest to make the task assignable to to any group as desired by the mission designer. This would allow AI aircraft to be vectored by a wider range of units, such as other search radars currently in the game. It would also allow the setup where a MANPADS commander unit for example could call in AI aircraft on targets within his visual sphere. It would also allow to circumnavigate the complete lack of any EWR capable unit for countries other than Russia. And last but not least, the ability of ships to vector fighters will soon become essential for DCS (Viggen). While a more advanced model of early warning radar and ground controlled intercepts would of course be desirable for DCS, the full usage of the already existing EWR functionality would be a cost-effective improvement.
