A few people have commented in TS and chat that Tab 7-1 is broken/not working.
Its still working but has reverted to the implementation that existed around 4 years ago prior to the change that was made in 2015 (from memory) to make twins invisible and introduce a 500m hard deck below which radar didnt track aircraft.
So it no longer shows you the nearest bomber/fighter but rather shows you a bearing / distance to some other aircraft which wont always be the closest (I think it tracks the first fighter/bomber that spawns in until that one is destroyed/despawns and then it goes to the 2nd one to spawn in from memory - could be wrong). And Blennies are now trackable on Tab 7-1 and i think the 500m hard deck (ie below this height things dont show on tab 7-1) is also not enabled. I followed a bomber tab 7-1 distance / heading earlier today just to check and found a Blennie way out in the ocean at low level no doubt planning to bomb a french orphanage....
So its not broken but has just gone back to an earlier incarnation (it seems). If this is an issue for you then i would maybe just hold fire until some of the bigger fish are sorted re 4.5 before worrying about this and whether it should be changed. It might be that TFS has decided to go back to this version for some under the hood reason.
