So I just got the Eurofighter Typhoon, and when I got into my first match, I realised that the HMD shows all targets detected by the TWS instead of having to cycle through one at a time.
That begs the question, Why can’t we have the same thing for 3rd person for the generic radar UI which would provide more situational awareness.
Sorry for the bad quality I have a potato PC
I suppose it’s because you only see the enemy through radar when you lock them, so since TWS doesn’t lock the enemy, you don’t get square around the enemy. I’m not familiar with how TWS works tbh, so I might have a flawed understanding of it, but from what I understand, TWS is just a separate beam of radar continuing to search while you have/can have a specific enemy locked. If gaijin made it so everyone you radar passively picked up while is search mode got a lock square, other planes without the BVR capability would also get lock squares even though they don’t have such capability (think low-tier radar capable planes)
TLDR: it would give gaijin a headache and cause balancing issues
Pretty sure this was a feature back when TWS first came out
