As usual, the screenshots get resized on the forum, so I'll explain the parameters... and you tell me if this is normal and what I should expect...
On screen center in yellow, a flotilla of FAC, plus a scout with active sensor ON, of resolution 20, 20 m kms range.
In red, 8.3 m kms to the north, 84 enemy FAC, 800 tons size.
They only show in passive sensor... Not in active sensor. End result, I can't target them... As you see, the assign target list only shows waypoints, and the contact list make them disappear if I ask to only show active detection... So the active scanner don't see them... The question is why??
I understand that 800 tons being smaller than 1000 tons, the 20 m kms range of my scanner is degraded... But to the point it don't see a FAC 8.3 m kms away? This sounds weird... So my only explanation, baring a bug is that the enemy FAC have a kind of stealth technology.
If you can help me understand the problem, I would appreciate. My strategy was based on firing on them from afar, and this is failing miserably.
