no,,,, but then again without land based dar, your chances of finding the enemy in the dark, with radar, are pretty much NEEDLE in HAYSTAK, without guidance from land based radar to get you close!

I think it would mostly be a bomber escort thing. Meaning a dar equiped plane or planes fly with a formation of several bomber formations along with escorts intended to do nothing but run interference for bombers. Or if dar on planes only scans area where it is pointed the a fighter would fly in a circle around the bomber formation. Not really intended to help find targets. And who said anything about in the dark?

I think any vehical that is within the 6K range should show up on the map. Its not realistic I know but will help with the few whom play and don't have a microhone(AKA idiots who spent 500 dollars on a PC with ni mic rather than 510 dollars without one)

The British H2S Radar set was developed for and used on various British bombers for navigation and locating targets in nighttime. Cities would show up on the scope as patches of bright light. Basically, intended to help find targets. In the dark. :lol

Didn't they have mossies fly ahead and drop flares to mark targets as well?

Nice. But I can see how this would be usefull as an escort fighter. Just stick one in with a group of buffs, and a couple escort fighters.
