FalcoGer Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) When a Mig29S locks something up, everybody in front of it gets an RWR spike in a massive, ridiculous arc. I have here a track that shows a Mig29S locking up a tanker, bearing 270° from the mig and in my apache I still get the spike at 40° off axis at bearing 230 from the mig. Meaning the overspill area is a 80° arc! That's ridiculous. The lock stops because the mig29 target was destroyed, so i couldn't measure the full extent, but even so 40° is way too much for an STT lock overspill. The beam should be a lot narrower! Whenever there is a mig29 on the map and fighting someone, everybody just gets spiked by it, it's annoying and unrealistic. mig29s 38 degree overspill.trk Edited June 25, 2022 by FalcoGer

See here: [...] I was under the impression that STT is shooting a single, narrow beam of maybe 0.1°-2° at a target, ignoring everything else to allow for a high refresh rate. Given that physical reality, I would also think that RWR indications should STOP for everybody outside that cone instead of going ballistic. Please fix. Some of those reports are 5 (!!!) years old, and it's quite annoying.
Flappie Posted June 26, 2022 Posted June 26, 2022 I agree: this bug is one of the most annoying ones in MP. The bug report was bumped last month. ---
FalcoGer Posted May 17, 2023 Author Posted May 17, 2023 It's still a thing, one more year later. You just ignore mig 29/su27 spikes at this point because it's 99% erroneous anyway. Could this get some priority? Maybe it's just a single number in the radar config. No other radar behaves like that.
