So Ive been playing against some ADAT’s and unlike other SPAA when they are launching I am not getting a spike?? Had this in both my Superhind which does have RWR as it spike’s when other things launch at me and also my Typhoon FGR.4 but for some reason since the update when the ADAT’s launches at me its not warning me?? Not a huge bother just curious is the same thing as what the pantsir had when it wasn’t picking up the pantsir/a bug or is this meant to be like this??
its always been like that, the ADATS doesn’t have a tracking radar, so only maw will alert you when its fired

IRST doesn’t alarm RWR from what I know.

ADATS can fire using either radar or IRST.
If it’s on IRST, you won’t get alerted Vis RWR
Pantsir is slightly different (though can also fire with IRST) in that it uses a radar frequency most RWRs cant detect when it’s guiding a missile
ADATS was changed to have a more accurate G overloadbut this isn’t the cause of what you’re experiencing. it doesn’t need a lock to fire as its mouse guided so wont trigger RWR.
ADATS is IR only, radar is search only.

It uses passive tracking and Laser Beam Riding. So only it’s search radar will trigger it, track and launch are silent.

Ohh alright, swore when I use to have one launch it beeped but could be wrong ofc
Correct me if im wrong but in the top left if it has IRST doesn’t it say when you switch to it?? as when you do switch from IRST to Radar it doesn’t say IRST?? Also I only asked this because I know for a fact they took the stabaliser off because I used to use the ADAT’s (M113) for the brits and noticed it at one point so wondered if they’d changed anything else
It says it only when you have both radar and irst, so you know in what mode you are. If you have one it does not show it.
Thought so so the ADAT’s must be radar only then as it gives you the option to change but nothing changed
ADATS is IRST only, the option is always there, just does nothing. Go check for example LAV-AD if you do not believe me.

I know it has it its just confused me a little because normally as I said before you have the visual difference where as the ADAT’s doesn’t change to IRST in the top left if you get me, thought it might have been broken or something.
No, as i said, if you have only one type, not combined, it does not show it, as you do not need that information.
I need some help:
It has been a while that I played the ADAT in arcade. I am unter the implession that I was locking those missiles on somehow. Was that so?
But I don’t get any locking sign. How do they work now? What do I need to configure?
ADATS was never locking missiles. You can lock the plane using optics (lock radar while in gunner view).

Thanks. I just went through test drives in the other US SPAAs and figured this out. It is basically a fast ATGM so to speak. Wire replaced by laser.
With alt-F, I can get a radar lock with the XM-975, but not the ADAT. Is that as intended?
Many thanks! :-)
How far were they?? as you can sometimes have trouble locking past a certain range(from experience)
I didn’t try it in gunner mode.
alt-F or such works with the xm-975 in full 3D view.
How would you know that with ADAT, it requires gunner view? I didn’t.
You can know that based on the sensor it uses. IRST/TV in game lack 3rd person lock (in 90% of the cases)
