MarkyMark Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) This has been brought up before, I’m sure, but I’m having trouble finding it. currently, a SAM lock on an aircraft other than your own, seems to set off the RWR warning (example, an SA2 locking a friendly aircraft in close proximity to it) despite being outside detection range yourself. is this correct behavior? Occasionally, I experience the same, even from enemy aircraft (typically a mig-25, mig-31, or su-33), even while on the ground taxiing. is this considered correct as-is? FYI, I experience this in hornet, but have also experience it in F16, F15, and I’m assuming it’s the same for all RWR equipped airframes.

MarkyMark Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Follow-up question, while I’m at it. Are launch warning alerts specific to your own craft, or does that also go off when a launch is against a separate aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution okopanja Posted June 15, 2023 Solution Share Posted June 15, 2023 I think more than one issue with same symptoms but more than one cause. 1. If yound find yourself in a beam while other aircraft is locked or even firered upon, if the signal is strong enough and your rwr sensitive enough, you should get an rwr warning 2. There is a known bug where you get RWR/BDA/Team kills belonging to another aircraft. I think the DCS recycles aircraft objects and it can happen that same identificator gets reused. It would be nice if ED can confirm this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Mind that RWR can warn you way earlier than the detection range. RWR can also receive warnings from side lobes, not only from main lobe. DCS might not simulate this though. RWR can work on the ground too. Having said that, there still might be some bugs but track and details are needed to work on the specific case.

It’s hard to provide a track for this and narrow it down, as I play exclusively multiplayer now, and the conditions have to be “just right” with other players in the mix. It just feels like getting a warning from well outside possible detection range feels wrong. But if it’s meant to be, so be it, as previous reply stated by happening to be in the beam direction of another aircraft that’s closer, I’ll take it. I just wasn’t sure if this was a “known issue” or not. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
