Radar LOS calculation error
Posted by Grumble on 21 July 2013 - 01:33 PM
Radar LOS is not calculated correctly, radars detect targets over the horizon and LOS.

Most recently I observed this in HDS3 9.0, I hoped to be able to "sneak out" my Tel Aviv Hawkeye from under the Damascus SAM umbrella by pairing it with a ground attack a/c. (Otherwise the Hawkeye is spawned at high altitude immediately at take off, which I guess is a compromise for AEW, but a painful one.) The trick works, the Hawkeye-Skyhawk twosome starts at low but Damascus is still detecting them and launches SAMs.

The test scenario demonstrates this by launching the pair from Nevatim, load the scenarios as RED, Damascus immediately detects the E-2C at 149nm, well beyond true LOS. The -l radar log confirms the wrong LOS.

100001 search.c:881 - Radar Emitter=Damascus Target=E-2C Hawkeye, TargetRange=149, Radar LOS = (BaseLOS x weather_mod + 128)/256
100001 search.c:882 - Radar LOS of 246nm = (246nm x 256 + 128)/256 --> Radar LOS=60644/256
100001 search.c:888 - A RCS=164 TName=E-2C Hawkeye AName=Damascus Range=149 Die=37 aPD=70
100001 search.c:961 - B RCS=164 ARng=300 Arng=300 SRng=60 Srng=60
100001 search.c:1020 - Detected E-2C Hawkeye with Air Radar of range 300 with PD 70, Roll=37
100001 search.c:1040 - Type and Height of target known

Tested with 2009.050,076 and 083, I have not yet installed 086 but I guess the radar model was not changed.
