Description
The Gepard Tracking Radar is a German ground based target tracking radar. It was designed as the tracking / fire control radar for the Gepard.
Vehicles equipped with this radar
General info / usage
This only a tracking radar, this means it can lock onto targets and provide a firing lead indicator, but cannot by itself detect targets and place them on the radar display. However all vehicles the radar is fitted on in-game are also equipped with various search radars; this allows them to use their search radar to detect targets, while this radar is tracking a target. The Gepard tracking radar can track targets in a 200 degree arc from the front of the turret, out to a maximum range of 15 km.

Comparison with analogues
Compared to other tracking radars, the Gepard's has an average maximum range and a good minimum range. The minimum relative speed is about average. The azimuth tracking angles are slightly wider than some other radars at ±100° (instead of ±90°). The negative elevation tracking angle is best in class, however the positive elevation angle is very slightly (2°) worse than other radars.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Decent maximum range
- Good minimum range
- Good minimum relative speed
- Better azimuth tracking angles than 1RL144 and SMA VPG-A06 radars
Cons:
- Radar cannot track targets through a full 360 degrees
- Slightly worse positive elevation angle than other radars
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of this radar. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the radar and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(radar-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
Media
An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
