Well if I was an aicraft designer, it would be the first thing to cross my mind. Since there is no way of hiding a SARH launch, why not make an effort of at least making it more diff to be recognized. As far as I read here on forums RWR starts warning because the launch platform radar changes mode when fireing a SARH, and not the missile it self? So why not fool someone them? I would clasify this as ECM, or am I missing something out? And no worries Maverick, no offense taken. ;) Thanx

Hey guys, I've read alot and I mean a lot of posts and disscusions here on forums about how and why RWR starts warning the pilot that a missile has ben launched. As far as I understood when a SARH has been launched radar goes in a special mode and this is picked up by the RWR warning the pilot of an iminent threat. If this is all true, imagine the following scenario: equip an airplane like Su27 with a false launch parameters/emisions mode and just keep on scaring the opponents with the la warnings without wasting any SARHs. This would keep them on their toes and they wouldn't know when the warning is fake and when it isn't. :thumbup:

Hehe, was just a taught. Might not be as practical. Why wouldn't be possible to fly it at 300 km/h? You can even go slower, in fact you can keep on stalling it during the engagement.:pilotfly:

Dear Maverik, i've just explained how it might be possible :thumbup: And your avatar says it too ;)

I've added the diagram below: Vx is the relative speed component (90km/h) α is the angle relative to the F-15's radar (70deg) Sorry about the picture quality-I've made it using my iPad :smartass:

Hey all, Just a detail regarding the notch tactics in MiG-29S. I have read here on the forums that the 'filter' Doppler effect speed for F-15 is +/- 50 knots. This basically means that if the target approach speed component is less than 50 knots, the target will be filtered out as ground clutter thus rendering it invisible. By doing some simple calculations it is easy to conclude that for a target flying at around 300km/h ground speed at 70 deg relative to radar lock, forward speed component is around 90km/h, which is just under 50 knots. As far as FC2.0 manual states, azimuth gimbal limit for N-019M Topaz radar is +/-70 degrees which is just enough to keep the target locket and still achieve the notch. This is the theory, I haven't tested this in game but sound promising. Nix:music_whistling:
