    +3 Dildo of listening, requires attunment

    The Dildo or listening grants its user advantage on all perception checks using sound. When attuned to the Dildo of Listening you cannot be suprised and gain +5 to initiative. If you also have the alert feat your hearing range is extended to 70 miles. Once per round you may as a bonus action ‘mark’ an airborn enemy giving all of your allies advantage on ranged attacks againt that target until your next turn.

        Ahhh right, I didn’t recognize it from a photo but I’ve read of it.

        It’s annoying that so many sources are calling VERA-NG a “radar” when it’s specifically not a radar: it’s a fully passive system, it only receives and doesn’t emit. Hell, even the Wiki article is titled VERA passive sensor

          Radar can totally be passive, and if you’re flying above enemy territory, it’s a really good idea to use passive radar and not active radar (the latter of which is used for some guided missile platforms).

          In fact, active radar means everyone with passive radar knows where (and probably, what) you are.

            Oh interesting, although that does make complete sense. I’m an old sigs pig so I’m not too clued in on this stuff honestly

            Radiolocation can be passive radar can not. Radar requires one or more transmitters and one or more receivers.

              One of the primary sensors on F16 (simulators in the early 1990s) was a passive radar — called that — that detected and pointed at those things trying to ping my plane.

              Since it detected transmissions outside effective range, it meant I tracked them sooner than they tracked me, much the way automotive radar detectors have different warning sounds for when they sense radar around somewhere and when the car is being pinged directly.

              Technically (the best kind of correct!) There is a transmitter in these cases, just not controlled by the same source as the detector.

              I suspect radiolocation isn’t restricted to radar signals but can track stars and radio stations. Though they too transmit.

                Just because they dumbed down what a radiolocation sensor is and called it passive radar doesn’t make it a radar. RADAR was an acronym radio detection and ranging. Passive systems triangulate that is different than ranging. For ranging to work you need the transmitter and receiver to cooperate.

      For those who are to lazy to check the link, it’s an Electronic Support Measures (ESM) mast and station. Essentially a highly specialized series of antennas, receivers, and processors designed to listen for Radio Frequency transmission on the battle field. Generally used in multiples to triangulate and track.

        is it connected to Tinder also?

        (was it true btw, that some Russian troops could be located via tinder?)

          Cell phones have been a problem for modern armed forces for a while now, famously a secret base was made less than secret thanks to some folks using Strava and posting their routes.

          So, likely yes. Especially given their lack of discipline / enforcement of OpSec.

    Great idea, but we did it first… (Some rando threw a big floppy dildo at a politician around the time the TTPA free trade agreement was being negotiated)
