cannot produce and mssing track file RWR Does not Warn of SA-5 Launch

[bonesvf103]

In the last week or so I have experienced that an SA-5 missile has hit me and I never knew it was there because the RWR never gave a missile launch warning.  My RWR was on; I can tell because I can hear the SA-5 spiking me and I can see all the radar indications in the RWR.

Shouldn't there be a launch warning when the SA-5 launches since it is a SARH missile?  I actually thought I was hit by an SA-18 since there was no warning, but the log showed it was definitely an SA-5.

Here is video.  At 3:30 you can hear me being spiked, so I know the RWR was on.  Skip to 17:34, and you can see the moments before I'm hit, there is no warning and at 18:06 in the log you can see it was confirmed an SA-5.

This happened a couple of times before in the last 2 weeks both to me and to another player.

I have a trackfile to attach but the forums says it's too big to attach

Delete some of your previous attachments (go to your profile-> attachments), upload it somewhere else like Dropbox, Mega or whatever, or try to make a smaller track.

  Had the same thing happen to me recently but with an sa-11.

While it's probably unintentional, that's more realistic than otherwise.

S-200's tracking radar does not change the emissions in any way when it launches a missile, it's always just a solid CW signal, with subtle changes in polarity as the operator manually ranges you. Word on the street is though that it should give you a solid launch warning when tracked instead.

In my case, there was never even an sa-11 indication on the rwr let alone a launch warning.
