Pergite! -> RE: Providing/Confirming ID on tracks (1/3/2014 7:24:58 AM)

Another thing got to my attention yesterday concerning track ID. ESM sensors have the ability to provide classifications on tracks in regards of type of platform. For the scenario above I have a P3 Orion that was the first to ID the two J-7s as fighters, due to their particular air search radars. That particular radar only exists on different versions of J-7s, which should in theory make the crew on my P-3 narrow down their classification further, alternatively make me choose from the contact report drop down list (manually excluding the past the future as well as other parts of the world.
What I realized that I missed was a track-history function. This would be the ability to backtrack a particular tracks movement from first contact. In the scenario above, it would for example in a congested airspace be useful to confirm which U/K tracks originate from China, and give the higher priority to ID, than those coming from Korea.
For ESM provided ID I also would suggest that the computer don't name tracks as Civilians just because of the presence of a civilian navigation radar. The same types of radars exist on a multitude of military vessels. "Civilian" also labels the vessel as a non-combatant, which might not be the case in many scenarios. I however can't come up with a suggestion for a better name at the moment. It would however be interesting if you could add civilian navigational radars to military vessels, set up the EMCON to only use that, and see if things still get the "Civilian" ID from the AI.
Maybe I should tinker around with this and see what happens...
[EDIT] I just realized that I already raised the question regarding track history in another thread that just resurfaced above this one[:D].
