This was something I suggested at subsim, don't know if it is possible.
IIRC, there have been LWAMI tweaks that effect the default contact type for new contacts reported. This would help FFG players a lot if it could be done:
I think that the initial ID of a radar contact should default or Air when those contacts are within certain parameters. This would mostly be for the benefit of the FFG, which has a cumbersome engagement process at times; doing this would make it unnecessary to have to struggle to switch overlapping reported contacts to Air before being able to assign a missile.
Suggested parameters:
Detected by Air search: Air
Detected by Surf search* or A/C radar and speed >100 kts (the DB speed of the Infiltration Craft): Air
*This assumes, and I could be wrong, that it's the surface search radar that detects contacts below a certain approach angle, like sea-skimming missiles. If it only detects surface contacts, then that makes it easier.
Is this possible?
