Airbus Weather Radar

Does anyone agree that the current Airbus Weather Radars aren't as good as they used to be ? I've noted the following :

1) Weather picture suddenly changes from yellow to red as you approach closer to the cloud.

2) Auto-tilt is overly conservative (tilt down). Manual tilt needs to be used often.

3) Gaps between clouds disappear as you approach closer.
