I could lock up and fire on the Vulcans but when an enemy chopper flight came near I couldn't get them on air radar. Were they Comanches in 'Stealth Mode' or was this most likely the result of the low light. And if this was a 'Low Light' problem how do I work around it? I obviously can't go to FLIR or TV, what do I do? I chased them and fired with cannons, manually aiming, but they ignored me and went to the FARP I was reconning. Strange?

You are correct that weather only affects visual sensors like FLIR or DTV, but don't forget that your CPG's eyeballs are also under this category. Thus, while your radar may find targets, your co-pilot/gunner does not have the visibility to identify them. Thus, you will get "Low Light" instead of the target's name.

About the Comanches, they may very well have been in stealth mode. If you could not see stub wings on them, then their RCS is probably too low for the Hokum's radar to detect.

I don't know if the Comanchees had their stubs on or not, probably not. I got to almost gun range on them and still no radar sig. I wonder if rotor-wing stealth technology is that good in the real world?

Cool chart Ozias, but what is that next to the Kiowa in the radar section? Is that a mushroom? Psychadelic.
