Gaijin at this point could add the M163 PIVADS upgrade which gave it upgraded radar and access to DM63 APDS
3 years later, and it still dogchit. You need to click multiple times and hope it locks even at under 2km range. Typical Gaijin uselessness.

Can confirm still 2025 doesnt work in realistic battles. Works fine in test drive. Multiple matches and even helicopters 200m from me just looking at me and no lock.
This thread popped up for me again at the perfect time, as I’ve been playing the Israeli M163 VADS “Hovet” all day today. The only times I struggled to lock were when enemies were flying somewhat perpendicular to the radar or low. I experienced this in test drives too, acts like most radars in that regard. Other than those two any instance that happened under those 2 circumstances, I didn’t experience any issues locking or tracking at all.
