AFAIK they said to want to do the HARM first, and AG radar as one of the last items because it really isn't used anymore.

Ground radar and ATFLIR together would be preferred. IMHO.

The problem with the atflir is it’s basically useless in weather.

 

One of the coolest uses I heard of the ground radar in the hornet was to compensate for the lack of ILS. Basically the pilot designates the end of the runway using the radar, then flies runway heading and 3 degree glide slope off the designation through the weather.

Ground radar doesn't belong in the top 5 things to be implemented after EA. Simply because the ATFLIR will be more reliable for finding targets than the radar. Give us HARM first, from the weapons.

 

Probably I missed that “top 5 things to be implemented after EA” published by the dev team.

 

Without AG radar, this is no go for me, it isn’t F/A-18 Hornet, it’s just F-18.

Lols, AG Radar isn’t used when doing CAS. But for a lot of other mission, searching for movers looking through a straw isn’t your best bet. The AG radar will be used a lot in most DCS missions. We are only a small, small portion of the community that use RL CAS tactics.
