Does anyone else have problems seeing the A20 at a distance of more than 500m or so? The rendered model only pops up at close range and disappears at a similar range as it flies away. If the player is spotted the tag remains but the model disappears. This doesn’t happen with any other aircraft model, only the new A20 introduce in the final patch.

A lot of vehicles have a short draw distance since the last big update.

Nothing more than a guess but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is related to the removal of the black squares that you used to get from time to time. The removal of those has worked but since then I’ve noticed more instances of things(general scenery, fortifications etc) popping in and out at range when looking in out of scopes.

With low mesh quality I have seen soldiers behind crates in the distance that were under cover when I ADSed.

My guess is that the A20 model has 2 renders, one hi res for close range and one low res for distance, this what is used for our military simulator visuals. Perhaps the low res is missing?

If the low res was missing, the game would crash everytime when tries to render low res model.

there’s some serious problem with the drawing distance for the A20, sometime the only thing you can see is the rocket.
