Early Radar SPAAs and Clouds

Why are there no penalties for SPAAs when locking and firing through clouds? Some modern day Radar -Guided SPAAs still struggle to lock and maintain aircraft through cloud coverage? I don’t see why if some modern radars struggle IRL, than why does nothing in the game regardless of era.

Because this game was made by Gajin.

Fun facts: There is a penalty (for plane missiles, at least when they work), it’s just that clouds are client sided and are different for planes and ground. Clouds on the ground are rendered in 2D and are much higher up than what a plane sees, probably for optimization. This means that while you can’t see the ground, they can still see you.

This means you can’t really apply a penalty for something that doesn’t exist for the SPAA, fun right?
