Dropping STT in ACM- ground masking/bug?

[Guard72nd]

I know there are realism factors playing in here, doppler/ground clutter/look down etc, but I am noticing a new tendency after recent patches where the AN/APG-68 isnt able to keep an ACM  STT lock at all. Even on close, high radar profile targets that I have a solid track on and follow in BFM, whenever they pull up from a vertical dive, my track is instantly lost, seemingly at the same point every time, regardless of target size, terrain and range. 

The F-18 radar is supposed to have similar capacity to the F-16 radar, but does not replicate this problem, and can keep a lock and provide a gun solution trough the vertical on a solid STT target everytime. Where as the F-16s radar seems to loose lock at the same point every fight now. Any of you guys experiencing the same stuff? Bug or feature of the nerfing of the -68?

People have reported this already. Here you go:

Hope it would be fixed in the next patch.
