reported earlier APG-73 Radar Not Able to Detect Aircraft Bellow -27° Scan Angle

[GumidekCZ]

DCS 2.7.6.13133 Open Beta

I would like to report, that Hronets radar can only follow airborne contact when in STT to its vertical low angle limit of - 60°.

When in RWS , TWS (MAN or AUTO), the contact will just dissapear with zero chance of detecting it bellow - 27°

When compared with F-16 radar, it behawe same way.

I wonder if this has something to do with either A) the MPRF bug that was reported earlier where it seems to just not be working.  Or if the -x% detection range every x degrees down your radar points is getting affecting this.

I'm thinking the same, leaning heavily towards the -X% per look-down degree. This needs to be revised, our radar should have a look-down, shoot-down capability, after all.

BUG STILL THERE, still radar can NOT detect any target bellow 27° look down angle. This is very important BUG. Please ED Fix it.

Even F-16C with AN/APG-68 can in DCS to its limit of -30°, Tomcat can also scan in RWS to its radar elevation limit of -60° as the Hornet should!
