The Gs are actually better against tanks since the problem with every other maverick is that their damage is very inconsistent and often leads to just crits, while the Gs, since they act like HE, usually one shot every tank

The massive symbols in the RWR lol

Hey toast not sure if your aware but you can zoom the camera out a bit to widen your field of view. Easiest way is to change your mouse wheel from throttle to zoom axis right at the top of the controls then zoom out when you spawn in. Helps see what's around alot. I wish I would have know about it sooner I'm sure you'll have the same reaction

I would love some effective AAA in the higher tiers like some mid range SAM systems behind the airfields to form a kind of safe zone far enough back to not reach into the real battlefield.

There's nothing wrong with the radar, it's actually arguably the best one in sim right now. You're just using it wrong
