I’ve died a few times to this because I am in a head on aspect with an F-15E and I cannot lock it with any mode of my radar, not TWS/STT/ACM or HMD. So far I have only noticed this from F-15E’s specifically.
Can’t say I’ve experienced that specifically / uniquely with F-15E’s, but I do get the occasional radar jank moments where this sort of things happens randomly to all sorts of different aircraft.

I’ve never noticed this specifically before, since the update I’ve only flew the J-10, so I’m gonna try a few matches in the F-15/16 and see if it still happens.
Equally, i’ve only really played F-15I since the update, so my sample size is limited too.
I’ve had a handful of instances where I have climbed high, pointed the nose directly at enemies where I can clearly see their contrails, and I’m just completely unable to lock them.
(All sorts of different things too. F-15E/C, F16C, 27SM, Mirage etc).
Has this only been since the update for you, or was it happening before as well?
Kind of but its all aircraft. Sometimes TWS just loses track of a target even though the target is head on so I have to use STT.
just like the mg 23, jl 10 … radar in this game is terrible
I actually quite like the radar on the J-10, I’ve only noticed this inability to lock certain aircraft since the update.
Good question, I’ve not really been keeping a mental tab on it tbh. I just kind of dismiss such things as standard WT jank when it happens lol.
What I definitely have notice has gotten substantially worse since the update, is that it appears the old bug where missiles don’t appear until right before they hit you has returned.
Can count a dozen examples where I have been staring at an enemy on my 6 waiting to see smoke in the air, and either the missile just magically appears like 10 meters behind me, or it spawns where it should - but then travels to me at like Mach-50 with no time to react.
no i mean how radar just wont lock those two planes or drops lock.
Oh gotcha, same problem for you but when trying to lock those planes.
