Teamasian Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Although its probably due to user error, I am completely unable to see ships using the AG radar. Is there something specific I’m supposed to mess around with in order for it to work?

Is there something specific I’m supposed to mess around with in order for it to work? No, there's nothing special but you might want a 90° sweep for faster updating, can you share a simple track. Here I've used my RWR to find the direction of my carrier group, and switched to A2G, the group is approx. 10 nm away.

Bunny Clark Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 While you can, generally, use the mapping air to ground radar mode we have now to find ships, it's not ideal. That's why the Hornet has a dedicated SEA mode which is specifically designed to detect ship targets, and is not implemented yet. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

Teamasian Posted August 23, 2020 Author Posted August 23, 2020 Try pressing DATA and increase the GAIN to max? I can't even see my own carrier group on max gain lol
Hog_No32 Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) While you can, generally, use the mapping air to ground radar mode we have now to find ships, it's not ideal. That's why the Hornet has a dedicated SEA mode which is specifically designed to detect ship targets, and is not implemented yet. The main limitation currently is basically the range. In MAP you can see ships quite well (the returns are pretty sharp , not unlike what you see in the Viggen‘s sea mode (admittedly a much older radar)), but only within 20-30ish miles. Way too close for an effective Harpoon strike on a warship. For an effective Harpoom attack I think we need at least 60 miles, better 80. And that is what I think the SEA mode will give us as it is specifically tailored for this kind of search unlike MAP mode. Edited August 23, 2020 by Hog_No32
FalconPlot16 Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Get closer, carrier is usually can be seen in 40 miles.
