Tiger-II Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Hi, I can't remember now if I was in the Jeff, so I'll ask a different question... Flying in MP, my friend is flying the F-18C. He decides to take a shot at me (I think -120B but could be 9X). He fires at my tail from a couple of miles (evil friend). I have no RWR missile launch alert. Am I correct in thinking I should have? In the Jeff I thought she had rear-looking sensors for this. I'm thinking F-18 should similarly alert if fired upon? I'm not sure if F-18 has capability for rear-aspect IR launch detection. My question is about Jeff however. :) I flew too many aircraft this week... Thanks!

foxwxl Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 F-18 do not equip MAWS, so if being fired upon from the tail, only the radar guided missile will trigger the alarm. JF17 equip a rear direction MAWS, so if MAWS detect a missile incoming(no matter the type) or RWR detect a missile launch, you will get a alarm in the cockpit. Deka Ironwork Tester Team
