May 24, 201016 yr When playing Harpoon I realize that radars do not always detects the whole number of aircrafts in a group. Is it stealthier a group composed of 2 F16 (or another plane) than a group composed of 4 F16? I suppose that radars have more chances to detect a group if there are more planes in this group.

Yes, larger groups of aircraft are indeed more prone to radar detection. IIRC, the magic number is four.

I suppose that the more searching radars you have the more chances to detect enemies. Yes, I suppose, all things being equal, four radars are better than one. Though I think I would want four separate aircraft searching multiple bearings with their radars than a single actively radiating group. (And in this instance obviously you are seeking to detect stealthy enemies rather than be stealthy yourself).
