Aircrafts capable of detecting Radar SPAA

It would be neat to add this section to "dangers" section, but I have no helicopters or high-level planes, so I cannot tell of RB gameplay much. Requesting help with this passage:


In arcade mode, any aircraft of BR 8 and onward has radar detection system on top of their ability to clearly see most of ground vehicles.
In realistic mode, aircraft must have the detection system installed to receive alerts.
According to patch notes, these helicopters are equipped with radar detectors:
Mi-24V
Mi-24D
Mi-24P
Mi-24P (Germany)
Mi-35М
AH-1F
AH-1Z
BO 105 PAH-1A1
Whether French helicopters received those systems is yet to be known, as well as amount of planes capable of detecting enemy SPAA.


Does this sound true to aircraft owners here? And are there any ways to learn if plane has radar scanner/detector/whatever, besides finding it out the hard way? Any info, or at least confirmation, would be appreciated.


Page overhaul

Soo, there are two issues right now (aside from abovementioned topic): 1)Text and page name might need to shift a bit away from "radar" to more neutral "tracking devices". 2)We do need some actual data on ADATS and SIDAM, to make proper section description and cut - i have no clue how SPAA with guns react to passive system.

For first problem i guess it's possible to rearrange page a bit, but we need to somehow curve the flavour text that was made before. Specifically the part about "radar busting missiles" seems to be more appropriate in new section with giving nightmare fuel for players (lol). As for the second, i can try to go research italians, which will take me a month or two until i get there (maybe longer). I'm not going for ADATS, though, as it will literally take me forever to get there.

What do you think? --bangerland (talk) 22:17, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
