Okay, I've got one! But I'm not sure it's possible in the doctrine controls...

I think that the initial ID of a radar contact should default or Air when those contacts are within certain parameters. This would mostly be for the benefit of the FFG, which has a cumbersome engagement process at times; doing this would make it unnecessary to have to struggle to switch overlapping reported contacts to Air before being able to assign a missile.

Suggested parameters:
Detected by Air search: Air
Detected by Surf search* or A/C radar and speed >100 kts (the DB speed of the Infiltration Craft): Air

*This assumes, and I could be wrong, that it's the surface search radar that detects contacts below a certain approach angle, like sea-skimming missiles. If it only detects surface contacts, then that makes it easier.
