Hi gentlemen,

One question about ground radar, is it possible to designate and lock a target like we do with air radar mode?

Thank's:-)

Nope, the ground radar only shows you the terrain and blips for structures and vehicles.

If you mean buildings no, if you mean ships yes. I've done some testing with the Super Hornet radar and a ship done through a custom mission and locked on it fine. Problem is that it locks too close, 5 or 10 miles (been a long time since I did it) so you carry a Harpoon and well... seems pretty rediculous to me. Anyway to extend the lock on range so I can actually fire outside of the SAM envelope?

I'm sure clanitho meant "locking on" as in acquiring a target by placing the radar's targeting cursor on it, and causing the weapon's seeker head to slave to the aircraft's radar (as one would with a SAHM or AHM). Not by selecting it as one would a visual ground target (via the "E" key), which is what it sounds like in your example, Eric.

Exactly, that was my question.

Thank's to all.
