fixed All AI planes, even ones without a RWR (yes, even WW2 ones), detect a radar missile launched at them when the missile arrives at 20km or so from them (be it a fox 1, a fox 3 or a SAM)

Pretty big bug across the board this one. All AI planes will always detect a radar missile targetting them when the missile arrives at less than 20km or so of them. 

That is a problem for several reasons:

- even planes without a RWR detect a radar guided missile (even WW2 planes).

- AI planes react to FOX 1 launches when the missile is already very close, while they should detect a fox 1 launch as soon as the missile is fired.

- same problem with SAM launches, the AI reacts only when the missile is already very close (I made a pretty detailed topic on how this 'bugged' behaviour is actually more realistic than the 'correct' behaviour in DCS for some SAMs: 

 

 

Also, a track included of an AH-64D detecting the SA-10 launch as soon as it happens, but only defending with chaff, and maneuvering only when the missile is less than 20km or so away. More testing of helicopters on this topic is needed.

Thank you, reported for internal analysis.

It's been like this for a while.

Here's a MiG-15 reacting to a Sparrow launch.

Still not solved in 2.10.3948. I up that topic because all AI units having either magical RWR or a borked one seems like a pretty important bug to solve...

So planes see even in TWS every rocket. Still there...

Hey  @Mad_Shell. Today's update contains a fix: AI aircraft without RWR won't react on active head and semi-active head missiles anymore.
