SPAA Search Radar bug?

Since the last patch the search radar on SPAA does not seem to be working properly. When sitting with clear LOS to a plane I am not getting any indication of it on the search radar. (Edit: This is across all the platforms in the 8.3 → 10.0 range that designate friend or foe on the radar screen. Radars like the Santal’s which do not separate between the two operate normally).

A couple additional observations:

  1. This happening with or without IRST active
  2. It has happened over a few dozen matches playing various SPAA up to 10.0 that identify friend/foe
  3. I can visually lock the target and the tracking radar will work fine and show up on the scope. However if I unlock the target will disappear from radar. Happen 100% of the time and LOS is not a factor.
  4. Heat seekers work as normal and pickup targets as before.
  5. Friendly aircraft show on the radar as normal, with the friendly icon identifier. This includes recon drones. Enemy A/C and drones do not show up.

Anyone else seeing anything similar? Also worth noting I don’t know if this is an issue with higher BR SPAA as I do not own any.

Have you accidentally activated the filter for IFF?

With the latest update they added the option to filter radar targets based on IFF.

It’s also available in the new mouse operated UI (“Filters” to the top right):
