V-1 vs RADAR

Hi guys,
The 102nd-YU and EAF will try to design a campaign based on "Operation Crossbow", and I have a big unknown variable, that I hope someone can shed some light on:
How is the V-1 rocket, in flight, seen on the radar, if it is seen at all?
It is very important for us to know if the radar network can be used to direct human flights onto incoming V-1s, ie. to do a GCI of these things.
Can someone pls help?
JP?
Cheers!

Salut Vladimir
Comment vas-tu?
Never used V1 in our campagnes. They are "rockets" in IL2, as "vehicles", "artillery"... but not "airplanes". So, I guess they are not spotted on radar...?? I would hope be wrong...

Salut JiPi,
Je suis tres bien, merci, et toi?
Can you think of any way, we can make it appear on radar?
If it is not seen on it, the interception will be very, very difficult, and we were eager to employ the Tempests and new Spitfires from HSFX in this role.
How does IL-2 logging treat a V-1 in flight?
Is it possible to make a test in the MP?
A bientot, mon amie!

Vladimir, pay attention to the "e". This means "See you soon, my girl friend"

I suspect that radar will not currently (in HSFX42) pick up flying V-1 rockets. Rockets belong to a non-aircraft class in the Java, and this class is not polled for radar contact.
It should be easy to fix in a new Mod, though.

Thanks Shades and JiPi!
It would be cool if we do this for the next issue of HSFX, it would give us a nice new challenge!
I'll mention it to Charlie. He will be thrilled to have additional work!
