ODS, Missile Detection Coverage

[Chizh]

Here are a pictures with the cones of all 4 missile directional finders. To make it clear what area they cover.
Each direction finder has a visibility cone with an angle of 110 degrees.
It is worth noting that there are noticeable dips between the direction finders at 12, 3, 6 and 9 hours. That is, from these directions, missiles can arrival undetected just above the helicopter.

Fantastic visualisations, thank you. Is the Laser Warning System capable of similar coverage?

No. Laser sensors do not measure angle to threat. They simply fix the fact of laser irradiation. Their angle is close to 180 degrees.

Very cool. I sort of expected this. Can we please have this for m2k, a10cii and apache as well?

Looks nice. What about range of detection? And does this sensors detect BVR/Long range SAMs missiles after engine burnout?

Ive had a missile launch warning for an Sa2 missile aimed for a fighter a fair distance behind me when the booster was already burnt. How can the system see a missile while its launched bevond (probably) its detection  range?

Missile engines has residual heat and I think, IR seekers can recognise this heat at short distances (I have some PvP cases with R-60 and R-73, their seekers lock on burnout AIM-120 and down them, but time before impact was around 1-2 s).

So, this is question for Devs: whats the range for detection of burnout missiles?

In the game a limit range about 20 km.

The sensors only detect the engine flame of any missile.

Any way how to mute or set up volume of warning signal and voice?
