E-6B MERCURY Range radar not revealed

[AngelHeart]

Hail.

I've created a scenario to understand how to reveal enemy SAM.
I've placed E-6B MERCURY and an E-8C JOINT STARS.
The E-8C JOINT STARS shows the Ranger radar in yellow color.
The E-6B MERCURY doesn't show any Range radar neither with a Sensor "AN/APS-133 Radar ground mapping" activated.
Is that normal?

I've posted the scenario.

Thanks.

An/APS-133 is a weather/navigation radar. It's not supposed to detect ground units.

Maybe because The AN/APS-133 is not an ESM/ELINT sensor but weather and ground search radar etc...

The AN/APS-133(V) is one of the most widely used color weather radars in US military service.

I think this may be a language issue - in the database the radar is described as "ground-mapping only", which is for navigation using landscape features. No need for range limits.

To find SAMs, you need a radar capable of "ground search" (fixed and/or mobile) to detect the actual units. Such radars will display range limits.
