Alright, so i don’t know if it’s just me, or my knowledge but i really wanna understand how the radar works on high attitude and why is this happening, so, when i try to do BVR with F15E, i do classic stuff, climb high (7-8km), then i set my radar to TWS mode and range on 74km (classic), so, if the target is going directly towards me from far away, i don’t have issue to find it on tws, but, as soon as any target comes closer than 20km, my radar cannot find it, they are not flying on 90 degrees, they are not notching, they are flying straight into me while locking me, and i cannot lock them for some reason, even in ACM or HMD mode (when they come in 20km range ofc) i tried to lower my radar scale to 35km, won’t work, 19km, won’t work, but when i play with F15C, suddenly my radar works well, it can find targets easily literally, when we talk abt F/A-18C late, same thing, but i fly low and when i try to lock target that is flying above towards my direction, i still cannot lock it and my radar can’t find that target, which is confusing considering the fact that both planes have better radar than F15C but still cannot find targets in close range, so, if anyone knows the issue, please educate me or inform me to be better, thanks in advance
There are two TWS modes, normal and HDN. I think you are using TWS HDN. Switch to TWS and you are fine.
i am aware of that, i am using typical
TWS, not HDN mode, but still i got the same issue like the bottom image for some reason
These are screenshots of an actual test flight with F15E us techtree.
So maybe it’s worth a bug report.
The grid of your radar modes look the same like in my scrrenshots?
Because you can see the blind area of the HDN mode.
If you are able to, please post similar screenshots of a test flight.
I had that issue, I went to options and just enabled every radar option and then it worked again, Can’t tell you which one did it, but go to options and put every radar slider to the right
Test flight is not indicative of live gameplay and should not be used.
But it’s easier for screenshots than in a fight.
And to give him my infos and get his infos I want, it’s good enough.
You checked where your radar is scanning while you can’t lock?
Maybe it scans elsewhere, so press “reset radar direction to boresight”.
i know i know, but it’s a bug for now, hopefully they will fix that problem
f15e tws is completely useless trash, impossible to do BVR with it
it locks chaff all the time instead of planes
You haven’t even played it enough to really be complaining. Waiting for you to get the eurofighter :)
I played F16C and if you dont know the F15 does get aim120 instantly so I do see the difference that the radar doesnt work
I have a strike eagle of my own and the radar is fine.
its not, its completely bugged in TWS mode
it locks imaginary targets or doesnt lock at all
Thats your settings, mess around with the radar sliders in options
lol what
these shouldnt have any impact on TWS
idk why, but only after changing a few of the sliders, like even just on and off, they fixed my TWS
then as I said
its bugged
