A-10 RWR

[railistic]

When designing a simple mission in FC 1.12a to gain proficiency at identifying and evading SAMS with the RWR...the RWR does not go active even with Shilkas, Strelas and 300Ps in place. RWR works in the default missions and campaigns but not when I make a mission using the mission editor. I have a POD installed and stores of MAVS.

Shilkas won't appear on your RWR until the last seconds before they open fire on you, Strelas won't appear at all because they're using IR-guided AA-Missiles.

As for the 300p, I don't know.

Did you place a whole S300 site (there's an extra object in the editor for this) or just a launcher vehicle ?

 

 

Try a 2S6 Tunguska, those little buggers show up on your RWR quite early.

I think he might think the Snapshot ranging radar on the Strela may also set off a A-10 RWR

You'll find the same thing with many SAM's in lock on..

 

TOR's for example will only be detected a km or so before they will fire on you.

 

When designing the mission, make sure you A-10's flight path passes through at least the darker of the two circles surrounding the Anti Air unit which refers to the detection zone.

 

With radar guided SAM's you should also pass through the launch zone to get used to the difference between detected, tracking and launching threats.

 

With IR SAM's, it's down to the good old Mk-1 eyeball :pilotfly:
