RCS of the MiG-19 seems off

[schurem]

Yesterday, I flew some DACT vs an F-15E. This is what the eagle driver reported:

Also, that MiG-19 has a ridiculously large RCS in DCS. I was able to get a solid TWS track on the MiG-19 at over 70NM while schurem in his MiG-21 didn’t even create a TWS return at this range. I was able to get blips of him in RWS but I was only able to track him in STT below 70NM… Something funky going on there.

In DCS, the Mig-19 has a RCS value of 5 while the Mig-21 has one of 3.

I'm far from an expert on RCS, but 2m² more doesn't seem to be a ridiculous amount.

What are the units? 5 m² ?

This is an interesting chart (found in the F-16 section):

Normal thing for the F15 to track a RCS 5 target at 70nm
