So i want to ask about spotting in air rb is not working at all ,even if i watch clearly an enemy ,i see that black shadow at front of me or my side isnt spotted at all . Even if it’s close range . I dont think so it should work like this .
However ,no matter i fly low or i fly mid altitude on 4.5-5.5km i allways get spotted that for sure ,yesterday i engage a guy and he just went off by my spotting front of me around 1.8km we fly into the fog ,then he appears on my back ??? So i spotted for him ,he is not when he is front of me.
RWR ,many times didnt show there is a launch on you or someone is behind or front or right/left on you i know there is blind spots like top of your aircraft and bottom of your aircraft ,but now this problems become annoying and it comes for me with the new update.never experienced this problems before for a good match before i do 5-6kills in air rb with Su27Sm ir F15 now i happy for 2-3 kill and not a 0 kill F15E or mirage or gripen sneak up on me without any warning or spotting

First at all without fully spaded crew and without expert its very hard.
Second the spotting system doesn’t fit the new weather conditions at all because if you are spotted by one player or bot the whole enemy team see you exactly.
Imo this needs a rework asap.
Imo the spotting system is bugged over years. Toptier sometimes I see a big black dot at 30km, sometimes I see nothing at 15km. Very often rocketmotor or plane engine smoke don’t render.
Especially by looking down spotting is harder with Anti Aliasing enabled. Without AA it looks ugly but spotting is better. But that’s a problem many games have.
Little anecdote:
Mid 80s US and German Airforce practiced low level flights very often where I’m living. I was able to identify A10 and Phantom at about 20km air line distance.

RWR neither picks up IR launches nor does it detect aircraft without active radar that is pinging you. Just a thought in regards to your issues of RWR “not working” sometimes.

Many RWRs can’t detect certain radar bands too, which can also cause that.

RWRs have deadzones, that could be it
