ArticBear Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 Is the MWS supposed to detect rockets from manpads? I did a quick test and for me the MWS never warned me.
Kang Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 From my A-10C I experience the issue might be that in a lot of situations MANPADS will fire at your when you are right above them and hence they tend to be in the MWS's blind spot.

And like Kang said, there are blind spots, but my experience is the system is very reliable - it always warns me when my wingmen rifle Mavericks, and by the time I'm done yelling at them that they should have called "Rifle", I'll have pumped half my flares out.
