Is there a way to determine if enemy radar is active straight from the screen (IE without selecting the units one by one and looking in the detail tab)?

In particular I'm in Ralf's Pason wings of steel (#4?) and have considerable problem dealing with HARM attacks. Planes inevitable fly in without loosing off weapons but instead get shot down at about 30 mile from target (which I assume means that some ones radar is working).

(Currently using 3.9.4 from UE package.)

Don,

 

I've attached a screen shot displaying the Unit Report window. There are 4 sensors listed and three of them have been detected as active. Note the * appearing before sensors 1 -> 3, while sensor 4 has been detected but due to range is no longer capable of being classified as active, it is but the ESM system isn't receiving enough energy to mark it as active.

 

Cheers

Ta,

Some times I see a small * type graphic at the top right corner of an enemy unit, I haven't been able to work out (or find in the manual) what that signifies. I also see something similar on friendly units and that seems to indicate active radar. What do these mean in both cases (if something different)?

Don,

 

They signify a jamming and a jammed unit.

 

Section 17.2 of the HUE advanced Manual:

 

"If a ship or aircraft is equipped with ECM equipment, it can be used to degrade enemy sensors. Select Active from the Sensor dialog box to activate the ECM. Remember that in many cases, using ECM will degrade your side’s sensors as well. When a unit or group is being jammed, a small “X” will appear in the upper-right side of the unit or group symbol. If a unit or group on another side is using jammers, a small “Q” will appear in the upper-right side of the symbol for the unit or group using the jammer."

Thanks,

I should of thought of ECM jammers, the symbol being a bit like as used in 'classic'.
