So I just finished playing through the scenario "Caper Focus" and their are diffenantly some intermitant bugs with the surface radar. One of the bugs that I noticed was that the radar sometimes refuses to update, or even acknowledge a contact.

I had a large frieghter on surface search radar at about 30nm. After the initial updates the contact refused to update for about 40mins despite the fact that the freighter was closing on an intercept course getting closer and closer. Curious, I dropped the contact expecting the radar to reset and reestablist the track. However, despite the freighter closing to within 3nm of my FFG, the surface search radar never picked the contact up...

The same problem occured with the Air Search radar. There's an air corridor in the mission that sends planes through the scenario at regular intervals, at identical altitudes and course. Sometimes the Air radar picked them up and sometimes it didn't...

Both sensors were really unreliable... though I doubt that its actually the sensors themselves, but rather the "autocrew" (meaning the game logic that updates tracks) seems to be unreliable and contacts mishandled.
