You do realize that wasn't really a yes or no question? ;)

True but clear and concise answers with no fluff.... Now that I can never argue with.

incidentally: "mcr" is the calculated approx range you will detect a size 6 or smaller missle

resolution 1 means you should see a 50 ton object at 21 million km.

However, this missile is much, much smaller than that, so you're detecting it much closer. This is what's scary about missiles.

Can someone help me with  how missile detection works?

My ship has this active sensor:
Active Search Sensor MR23-R1      GPS 210     Range 23.1m km    MCR 2.5m km    Resolution 1

It detects this missile at 2.3 million km:
Congo Anti-ship Missile  Speed: 19 400 km/s   End: 129.2m    Range: 150.3m km   WH: 10    Size: 7    TH: 64/38/19

Why aren't I detecting it at 23.1 million km?  Doesn't resolution 1 mean I should see a size 7 missile at the edge of detection range?
