Vehicles equipped with this radar
General info / usage
The AN/APG-26 is a target tracking radar so can lock onto targets providing the layer with ranging and closing speed information. It can also provide a firing lead indicator allowing for accurate firing of the player's gun. The radar can lock onto targets at a range of only 4 km, so the AN/APS-21 should be used to detect targets at longer ranges

Cons:
- Slightly worse range than soviet counterpart
History
The AN/APG-26 was developed by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, along with the AN/APS-21, as part of their AN/APQ-35 radar suite. See the AN/APS-21 page for details.
