Wrong range reported by radar

[Lynnux]

I had two occurences now (in multiplayer) that locked a target in dogfight mode and the range was displayed as 2.9 miles.

In fact, the targets were so far away that they could turn in front of me moving only a few degrees sideways on the HUD, i.e. they were still almost 10 miles away.

Is this possible/normal ?

2nd occurence I had guns selected and the target was cold.

This happens with guns, you won’t have more then 3 miles listed on HUD but MFD range will be correct. If more then 3 miles away with guns on use MFD for range

anything CCIP will show the distance to the ccip pipper - hence it showing 2.9 for guns.
