A focused hotfix bundle covering radar reliability, Russian deception polish, and engagement procedure correctness.
- Radar Toggle No Longer Destroys Aircraft: Switching a radar off no longer permanently removes the enemy aircraft it had been tracking. Aircraft state and radar state are now properly independent — turning the radar back on, or another sensor picking the aircraft up, correctly redisplays them on the map.
- EW-Identified Raids Persist: Enemy raids spotted by EW intelligence (e.g. bombers inbound from far north of UK radar cover) no longer disappear after about 20 seconds. The radar map now keeps EW-flagged Hostile raids visible for as long as EW continues to report them.
- Hostile Classification Survives Radar Cycle: Toggling a radar off and back on no longer loses a Russian spoofer's known-hostile classification. A spoofer that has been correctly identified will not silently revert to "Unknown civilian" after a radar power cycle.
- Spoofers Trigger Full Intercept Procedure: When a Russian aircraft using a civilian airline callsign (e.g. Iran Air) is intercepted, the QRA fighters now correctly run the full Russian intercept procedure (visual identification → challenge → engagement or escort) automatically once they reach the merge. The procedure no longer goes silent if the spoofer's civilian disguise hasn't yet been visually identified.
- Critical Tension Auto-Engage On Hostile Confirmation: In Critical tension, QRA interceptors that visually confirm a contact as hostile now correctly switch to Engage instead of continuing the standard intercept procedure. The "ENGAGING" radio call plays at the moment the interceptor confirms the hostile, not after a manual override.
