ustio Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 first of all. forgive me if this is because of my lack of understanding of the RWR system so I was playing a campaign and one of my AI wingmen went stupid and decided to fly into enemy territory. so he fly on his own. we are miles away from each other, and he got locked and fired upon by an enemy SAM. the problem is my RWR is alerting me that I'm being locked and fired upon by the sam. I look nearby and there was no SAM approaching my aircraft(i had labels turn on so I can tell)
Rabbisaur Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Because your RWR also received the SAM guidance signal that was aimed at your AI wingman. That is how RWR works. There's no way for it to tell whether the SAM was locking you or another plane near you or in the general direction. As long as it receives a signal, it will give you a warning.
nighthawk2174 Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 ^ we'd need to see the geometry of the situation to see if were in the 'guidance beam'.
