SharpeXB Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 Is it realistic that the radar in fighters (F-18 or M-2000) can get locks on A2A missiles? This obviously gets pretty confusing in close combat. Lots of times when I use the ACM modes this is what it locks on to. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
AndrewDCS2005 Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 Yeah this is suspicious, just had this today again after a while - locked on the incoming A2A missile which probably has order of magnitude smaller RCS than fighter, but sometimes takes 10-20s or has troubles to lock on the opposing fighter at the same altitude at 12oclock.

Sometimes I get a lock on an invisible target that falls to the ground. It must be a missile. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
Coxy_99 Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Its annoying thinking you have an target locked but really you have not.
Archer.xd Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) After the Hornet radar fix I was never able to see the missiles or lock them with the radar. Close range modes sometimes seem to lock something but not related with missiles, happens in BFM too. No idea about M2K radar tho. However missiles still see each other and theres a very good chance for them to go for each other. Can be replicated very easily.
