TS is overstimulating as fuck. can it just shut up? I want to play the game not being erraped by missile ping that doesn’t even directly fly into my flight path.
The radar signal isn’t a narrow beam, its broadcast over a wider area, with a main lobe and a lot of side lobes.
After IFF filtering, any RWR’s inside those lobes will pick up the launch signal, that’s normal. You can adjust the RWR volume and/or sensitivity

That’s physics there for ya
Is the whole thread just a massive OneGuy’d moment?
This is standard for all RWRs, and is true in real-life physics. Radar signal even in track is not just a thin laser-like line to the locked target, as some people assume. To clarify, here’s an overhead diagram of dipole radar in general, from Wikipedia :

As you can see, the antenna radiation pattern illustrates the fact that the main lobe is not exactly a narrow beam, and it even emits in all directions despite being pointed in one…
Turn your RWR sensitive to 0%
