Update on rain. Looking at the SV and SJ polarization they used horizontal polarization. I know for ATC radar they use either linear or circular. I've never experienced horizontal but I think it's the same (linear horizontal). Basically you see EVRYTHING the radar picks up and the aircraft is masked like you said. Circular picks up strong signals only (like aircraft and ships, the bigger the better) while it removes the small rain returns.

To simulate this in SH4 I can only think that perhaps we need to allow CREW EFFICENCY to be TRUE (good operator can find and track a target better than a green horn) and adjust the weather effect so it basically see's almost nothing in bad weather ?????

Would be nice if they displayed pockets of cluttered "unknown" radar targets in groups from small to large. That would be awesome.

In summary, my opinion ;
rain = mask
waves = range degradation

Both together = useless peice of .....
