Air radar detection bug

Air Radar Detection Range Bug

Bug Description

The aircraft radar is malfunctioning by reducing its detection range from the intended 1,000 meters down to as little as 400 meters after the 30TH June patch. During testing, 400 meters was the minimum range observed, occurring near the altitude where the bug reaches its maximum effect.

This issue affects both jets and helicopters.

Maps Tested

- Liberation Peak: The bug starts appearing at around 500 meters altitude and becomes progressively worse when flying closer to the mountains.

- Golmud: So far, the bug has not been observed on this map.

- Sobek City: Detection range reduced to 400–500 meters.

- Tsuru Rift: Detection range reduced to approximately 700 meters.

- Firestorm: Detection range reduced to approximately 700 meters.

- Mirak Valley: Detection range reduced to approximately 700 meters.

- EastWood: The bug starts appearing at around 300 meters altitude.

Detailed Description

In addition to the reduced radar detection range, the aircraft icon (jet or helicopter) displayed at the center of the radar begins to shift away from the radar's central axis. This displacement is a clear indicator that the bug is active and becomes more pronounced as the issue reaches its maximum severity.

Gameplay Impact

This issue has little to no impact on infantry gameplay. However, it is game-breaking for jet and helicopter pilots. Since the radar range changes depending on altitude—and the exact altitude at which the bug occurs may vary between players and is not always consistent—pilots can lose critical battlefield awareness unless they are provided with precise enemy positions.

This is particularly problematic because this issue had already been resolved before the May 30 patch, but now appears to have returned.

Thank you for your time. I hope you can investigate this issue as soon as possible and provide a fix.

Also I am absolutely disgusted from your Q and A, since most of the people are getting ignored and there is 0 losdouts in jet for almost 1 year. Please work.

Yes this also results in an unfair advantage for the player who is above the altitude threshold if the opposing pilot(s) are below the threshold since the player with the higher altitude may be able to see the enemy pilots on their radar however, the enemy pilots are unable to see them (despite not being below radar).

I do agree with you on the fact that the most recent Q&A was pathetic, avoiding the most common and pressing questions and only addressing low hanging fruit with generic responses is ridiculous. It unfortunately feels that the Devs are out of touch with the franchise and are completely missing the mark with their core audience, and main selling point.
The new design philosophy with the upcoming maps are steps in the right direction but there's no point in having large scale maps and all out warfare when the vehicles aren't ready for it. For example, Golmud as a map is great, but its ruined for a lot of people due to the IGLAs being broken (one shotting full health aircraft, acquiring and maintaining locks without LOS, going through countermeasures, etc) and below radar not working on uneven terrain (such as the mountains, and certain areas of the valley below B) that it makes flying an unpleasant experience.
The openness of the map is meant to challenge a pilot's positioning and give infantry opportunity to fight back however unaddressed issues in this game remove counterplay causing a lot of people to just go back to firestorm or firestorm/lib to fly aircrafts because at least there they have the mountains providing cover and shorter escape routes should countermeasures fail as they routinely do.

Ultimately Tsuru Reef will likely face the same fate once the novelty wears off and will likely face it at an accelerated timeline due to the boat's new 'magic' missile along with the broken AA launchers if they do not prioritize the issues plaguing aircrafts.

PS: we all like to get an Hotfix regarding this bug and not to wait much longer.
