If the patrol radius of a unit cuts with the radar range of a different unit, they get seen as a radar dot. If the patrol radius cuts with the sight range of a unit they get even revealed.
If the patrol radius cuts with the AA radius of a unit, the AA unit can fire.
They changed it quite a while ago when the made the huge overhaul for radar and stealth.
The part that I don't understand the logic behind is why it's so one-sided. The AA can detect, identify and attack air units that are outside of their range. Air units can't. When an air unit gets attacked like this, they don't know where the attack is coming from, they don't know what it is, and they can't shoot back. I just don't get it. Why should AA units get such a huge advantage?
Obviously, the antenna performance on each end of these relationships has a big effect.
It would interesting to learn officially if this is why it works the way it does now, or if I'm wildly off-target by trying cram a "realism" reason into something with a much more mundane history.
