I would personally argue though, that with the right amount of effort, it could be an alternative to them, a more entry level/forgiving SIm game compared to DCS. Unfortunately, its total lack of update in the past 3 years (and probably longer than that for major improvements) has unfortunately irrecoverably harmed their chances of making air sim profitable and a major part of the game. The only real hope now is the RB EC gamemode they are apparently working on and Sim getting third party improvements.
In my experience, not always. For example the Challenger 2 community submitted a vast amount of research and reports to get the CR2 buffed and fixed and got a lot of community support for a full rework. Instead they fixed one bug report, made up some information to nerf the CR2 and haven’t fixed a single bug report since. That was over a year ago.
Unfortunately there are large aspects of the game that the devs just dont care about
here is picture from the A32A radar set from the manual.[img]
and here is text what tells what the ground radar can be used, so the PS-431 / A radar makes shows an map made by the radar. so it is possible at this used to in navigate the plane in low visibility conditions. but the radar map cannot show small targets like a tank, but the missile can be guided to specific area.
A32A user manual is also declassified, and i can link it here if you want to take a look.
here is specific information from the PS-431 / A. AKA PS-42 TA. this radar has wrong band, in game this radar is on band I when this radar is on band X. so it is wrongly modelled. secondly PS-42-TA has track range of 12km, in game this track range is 5km. and search radars historical max detection range is 160km, but in game radars max range is 90km.
Referring to it as a map is misleading. The original term used is “kartliknande”, which translates more accurately to “map-like” or “mapish”—not an actual map.
It simply displays radar returns that can assist in navigating challenging weather conditions, such as low visibility during night or heavy cloud cover.
The text does not mention anything related to munitions, targeting specific areas, or any integration with the RB04.
Let me dream 😭
I heard that any map with a sizable water area is supposed to get them, and even then, I’m a big Sim fan and would love to see more anti ship weaponry
