Greetings.
I perceive there is a difference between the performance of radars between others and myself. Everyone in game gets the same radar if they are in the same aircraft but it seems that others have much better use from theres than I get from mine. Since they are the same the problem must lie with me.
I am a well known hater of the F4F ICE, it and I do not get along in the slightest. I think the whole thing is ehhh… yeah you get what I mean. However its two redeeming factors are the AMRAAM and its paired with a supposedly great radar. I agree on the AMRAAM being good but the radar not so much. That seems strange to me because it supposedly has one of, if not the, best radars in the game according to almost everyone
However other people swear by it so it must be that I am doing things wrong but I dont know what.
I watch videos of other people, for example Defyn, going into TWS mode in the ICE and it instantly pinpoints the nearest enemy jet, provides a track to the missile, the missile locks and off it goes. Meanwhile I have to fight my TWS to even get a jet I can see with my own two eyes to show up on the scope. The inverse also happens, where the TWS mode just lights up like a christmas tree with every peice of chaff highlighted on it, seemingly from this match and whatever chaff is left from last match too.
This doesnt just happen with the ICE. TWS mode on my new Tomcat is also performing the same for me as it seems to be for others. I can see contrails of 4 jets, but my radar sees nothing. I know its PD HDN TWS but it still sees nothing even with range set to 97km.
But I watch MatAWG, Defyn, Seek, queue up and ripple fire 6 Phoenixes/Fakour 90s in about 6 seconds because THEIR TWS mode seems to work just fine.
TWS as I use it is simply setting the radar in its TWS mode, setting a range, min 30km to max about 100km depending on the set and the map, and then pointing the antenna at where I can see the enemies.
Is there something that I am missing?
Thanks
