F14B Radar ... is it somewhat bugged since 2 or 3 patches ago?

[FriedrichNix]

Hi,
first, I got no trackfile. I just have the feeling, that the radar in the F14B Tomcat picks up targets not as far away and not as well as it used to. In fact, Jester and I lately had a hard time finding targets at all. That includes targets that are already shown on datalink.

I know - there's a lot more to it, ground clutter, aircraft aspect aso., but I just "feel" there might have changed something with the jet.

You have similar experiences? Or is it just me, being dumb?

We can test if you have something specific in mind.

Does not appear to be weak if one can lock target from 160nm:

I don't know much about constructed long range shots at 50000ft msl. I just thought if someone noticed a difference in the regular use of the airplane. There's always a chance, that something got changed with the introduction of the "Early A" or with a new DCS version. But if noone noticed a difference, then it's maybe a me thing.

Nope, haven't noticed anything.

 

If you do get a track file we can tell you if there is something that is going on in your cockpit that is making things difficult for you.
