Not that I’m aware of. We used Enhanced Paveway II, Enhanced Paveway III and Paveway IV instead.
Do we need to report the incorrect radar in the Stormer AD? The last time I saw it was the ADAD from the Stormer HVM. The vehicle’s weight was also from the HVM, and was corrected through a bug report: Community Bug Reporting System.
I think it is WIP, but if you want to
I tried to look for ESD RA-20-S, but i found nothing
It should have all the funny stuff like 11km range 360/45, IFF, TWS, cue to target

I found this, from Jane’s Land-Based Air Defence 1992-93:
The acquisition/surveillance vehicle has the RA-20S radar operating in the E-band which can detect aircraft and moving helicopters at a range of 12 km or helicopters hovering at a range of 5 km. Targets can be localised
to one degree.
Dassault Electronique RA-20S E-band
1 to 12 km range fully coherent pulse Doppler radar system.
And, though it’s not the RA-20 S, but may be useful for the rpm:
Dassault Electronique RA-20 1 to 8 km range fully coherent pulse Doppler radar which operates in the E-band and rotates at 40 rpm, carries out both surveillance and target
acquisition (track while scan) and can track four targets simultaneously.

To complement it:
The RA-20S radar unit, mounted on the M-113 A2 command post or on a TA-23 turret, is of the Doppler pulse type with an E-band frequency. It insures the detection of aircraft and helicopters located 12 km away and the detection of helicopters hovering 5 km away. Targets are located with an accuracy of about 1 degree.
Efficiency of the RA-20S radar unit.—The latter is particularly effective
against low-altitude attacks by ground attack aircraft and armed helicopters
hovering or flying at very low altitude.
From DTIC ADA349787: Near East/South Asia Report. p. 19
Well, Janes and Brochure have different range values…

It’s very difficult to find something about the RA-20S. I found more about the RA-20, which seems worse than the S. Less range, at least. If we find the differences between the RA-20 and the RA-20 S this material would be more useful.
All I band radars? Or D band? (I’m too lazy to look myself)
You missed, E band

Found about the RA-20S, from Jane’s Radar & Electronic Warfare Systems, p. 106:
And the SINAI 23 brochure, but I couldn’t verify the source:

The Stormer AD got its thermals nerfed down to gen 1 on the dev server
Its a shame but I don’t think it will make any difference in practice
It also got a weight decrease and increase in smoke charges, which is nice
Thermal res was expected it was copied over from the HVM which uses a much more modern Thales Catherine MP thermal system. Stormer AD uses a old thermal system of American design IIRC

The chinese winged gps bombs have a top down attack approach. I think i remember that it was impossible to model that for the AJ.168 at its implementation. Any chance that can be changed now?

That could potentially enable it to hit naval targets as well

Oh my, a self guided munition that doesnt always hit the masts. Shame the carrier fleet like to move…

I’m pretty sure the Aussies intended to arm the F-111C with JDAMs, but I don’t know if it actually went ahead.
