Air Radar or not

[Hooston]

That's the joy of SH3, your situational awareness is so poor you do not realise how many bugs and shortcuts there are in the game!
It seems to me the behaviour with the randomly generated aircraft flying straight at you and the scripted aircraft flying past is quite a clever work around. Early radars were not very good and would often fail to detect targets. In my youth I spent a happy afternoon dropping (simulated) nuclear bombs on Southport Pier using a 1970's vintage radar. I could only find the 3/4 mile long wrought iron pier because somebody told me where to look.

That's all well and good, but the radars became very deadly, very quickly, something which doesn't seem simulated well if at all in SH3.
