Description

Much like what #2430 is trying to solve, there is little information about how dangerous a missile is except for the size of the icon when looking at the radar screen.

This would likely make it difficult for an experienced pilot to identify what missiles are the most important to dodge.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #2430 and locating the radar-screen code that displays missile icons. Determine how missile size is represented and what icon assets or rendering entry points are involved; done means missiles of different sizes are visually distinguishable on the radar and the result can be verified in-game.
