Awacs and EWR can see you through the mountains

[85th_Maverick]

Sorry for starting this thread, but there are different locations on the Caucasus map through which if you happen to fly your plane, it will appear on awacs and ewr radars. Idk if this is a terrain simulation versus radar line of sight issue or an AI issue, but this happens and there's no way you can help it! If, let's suppose you're doing a SEAD mission and you've well planned your route which normally keeps you terrain masked constantly until a certain point, there are places on the route where you'll suddenly get a RWR signal from awacs or ewr which effectively happened to see you through the terrain!

 

If providing a track is needed, I'll do it!

 

Cheers!

Just terrain masked an A-10C through a deep E/W valley the other day hiding from an AI SU-27 with an (invisible to Red) AWACS running E/W off Batumi at 31,000' and never saw a thing on my RWR unless / until I crossed some kind of low point that ran N/S.

My guess is that this is an issue involving specific locations. So any track would be helpful if for no other reason than to help identify the locations of these holes in the “mask”.
