Battlefield 3
Air Radar is an air vehicle specialization that is also available for mobile anti-air vehicles. Once unlocked for a particular vehicle type, it can be equipped in Customization. The Air Radar increases the size of the player's minimap and shows the location of all friendly and enemy air vehicles on the map. With side-effect that ground vehicles and players will not be shown.
The Below Radar specialization can hinder detection by Air Radar if the user is close enough to the ground. The ECM Jammer is also known to temporarily hide the user from the Air Radar too.
Air Radar is currently bugged, saying that it is a "Permanent Upgrade", although you still have to select it in customization.
Patch history
• The 1.03 (December 2011) Patch adjusted Air Radar behavior so it now only shows air vehicles not protected by Below Radar, missiles, and landmarks such as control points.
• Patch 1.06 (September 2012) restored tracking for friendly air vehicles, allowing for better team coordination.
