Jak525 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 There is a new indication on the EW page under emitters. It's a half-circle that appears to show in certain situations which I can't 100% pinpoint regardless of which of the 3 bands the emitter is in. What exactly does this mean? Also, I've seen an emitter flash in the middle band. What does that mean? (Before, they only flashed when in the inner band.)
EcceHomo Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 If you refer to the symbol in the picture, then this is the friendly radar symbol.

Santi871 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 If you mean a semi circle under the symbol, it means it's tracking you.
Jak525 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) If you mean a semi circle under the symbol, it means it's tracking you.I realized Yea I meant the circle under, not on top (friendly airborne). Ahh, right. So the inner and middle bands must now have new criteria- previously, outer was anything not tracking, middle was tracking, inner was shooting. Do you know what the flashing emitter in the middle band means? And also, what do the middle and inner bands mean now? Edited June 7, 2019 by Jak525

Do you know what the flashing emitter in the middle band means? And also, what do the middle and inner bands mean now? How do you reproduce something tracking you but not in middle band? I haven't been able to. Flashing means it's guiding a missile at you. Middle = lethal, inner = critical, outer = non lethal. This is what they always mean, but I don't think the actual definition is publicly available (ie each dev has to make a reasonable guess).

And hmm, must mean that in our Hornet guiding a missile does not always necessarily mean critical. I saw it flash while lethal, not just critical, in that mission.
