#Ships being invisible after having its radar destroyed

I'm not sure if it's a bug or intended, but ships seem to be undetectable by radar if their own radar has been destroyed. Here I can't see an aircraft carrier from 18km away, despite being on an Ifrit with its radar turned on. It's only after getting closer that I can detect it visually.

#

It's a bit silly that I can detect a stealth fighter at 30km away, but can't see a 40,000 ton ship at 18km

You can pick up ground targets in 2 ways: either optically or via radar triangulation
Radar triangulation is available for all aircraft that already have a radar, its omnidirectional, but only works on units with active radars.
Optical detection is on all aircraft, but much shorter ranged.

Makes it harder to deal with ships in single player I guess

#

The weird part is that by the 2070s they can't do something that got figured out by WW2

the ship is low enough to the "ground" to where your radar factors it in (that is if it is spotted at all) as ground clutter

#

a radar meant for naval recon and fire control has barely any filter for ground clutter

#

cause its expected to be operating over open ocean where there is none

and besides
