Yep.

One of the most significant drawbacks to using 'in-formation' air patrols while playing Blue carrier groups, is that active radars will give away the position of your group. In doing so, you've given away to the Russkies - free of charge - one of the things they would otherwise have to work hard to achieve. Working from the Red side, you can now see one of the obstacles you need to overcome - locate the enemy. The carrier's BARCAP is another obstacle. The best way to beat them is by a combination of jamming and deception, and attack from multiple axes using these tools.
