All target aircraft have no payload/stores and fly at an aspect angle of 180 degrees (Directly head to head) -## Changelog/Summary DCS 2.8.6 +## Changelog/Summary DCS 2.9.0 -* The F-15E has been added. It has a monster of a radar, in my opinion in RWS/TWS it's the most performant radar ingame in the types of situations you will commonly encounter, the Tomcat slightly beats it out in PD-STT but that is a somewhat niche radar mode and you can't PD-STT from that range. +* F/A-18C and F-16C have had a huge radar overhaul this patch, they now feature PD (Probability of Detection), range resolution and atmospheric propagation loss. ***In practice you will initially detect targets at significantly longer ranges than in 2.8 but they will have to get closer to form stable track files on them.*** For example in 2.9 the Hornet can get an RWS low probability detection at 100nmi now compared to in DCS 2.8 where a reliable detection that was first visible at 55nmi. -* Remember the chart represents ranges against a target with no stores attached, the F-15E and Mirage 2000C increase the target RCS when stores are added increasing detection range. If you fly against fighters loaded with just 6 air to air missiles the detection range can increase by 10nmi or more. - -* NCTR ranges have been added to the chart, the F-15E can NCTR in STT from at least twice the range of the F-15C, Hornet and Viper. Note the F-15E seems to have no NCTR range limit in TWS. +* Both aircraft have a very large spread in probability of detection, more than any other module currently ingame. This can result in track files being dropped easily if you have a large scan zone or they are at the edge of your detection range, you may need to reduce your scan volumes significantly or use STT instead to maintain reliable tracks.
