Radar(beyond visual range for aircraft)

[Stardouser]

What do you guys think of Radar, and beyond visual range engagements for aircraft, fighter aircraft anyway?

For example: Let's say the maximum render distance that you can see an enemy aircraft from your own aircraft is 750m. What if aircraft had radar that let them see aircraft up to 1.5km, along with radar guided missiles and chaff(radar reflective strips that you dump like flares) countermeasures?

Then, there could be an almost air superiority meta-game where fighter aircraft go on air superiority missions, escort missions, etc, and attack/ground support aircraft have to either travel with support fighters, send in air superiority missions first, or fly low to the ground(flying under 25m to the ground would make you invisible to radar) to avoid detection.

Another variant of this is that individual aircraft would not have their own radar, but instead, there could be radar stations spread throughout the continents, and when they are powered and owned, they will transmit radar data for a certain radius around their location to all friendly fighters within that same radius. This would provide radar stations as an excellent spec ops target.

Anyway, flamesuit on.

Edit: There's an argument that current continents are too small for this. That's why I bumped the range down to 1.5km. Anyway, I forgot to mention that Alduron was talking about this on IRC, so wanted to throw that out there too.
