Actually, I think what he tried to suggest was, that the needs of visuals and the needs equipment like radar should not be mixed. For visuals we need the terrain and all the objects like trees and buildings which are hard on performance. For radar we would only need a probably simplified form of terrain and can easily do without all those objects. So even 200km of radar range could be implemented without hitting too hard on memory. Essentially he was asking for some kind of LOD, be it automatic or manually by having separate data sources. The language barrier makes it somewhat hard to be sure, but that's how I interpreted his original message.
