Seems to be a client side issue. All good on my end.
Got another MAW failure, at the end of this;

There is a bug report about RWR which also mentions MAW being inconsistent. If there was a way to push it forward somehow, that would be great.

Already been forwarded, there isn’t anything I can do for that report now. I have however raised this internally. I’ve got two examples from my own gameplay.

Could it also be that the MAW is sometimes just “dumb”? I mean, AFAIK it works with angle comparison, so if you maneuver the angles change and it can happen that the compared angles differ so much that the previously detected missile isn’t detected as a threat anymore. Shouldn’t the MAW keep its “memory” (keep the track internally, much like TWS keeps tracks in memory) that this missile is obviously aimed at you even if you maneuver and only “forget” it, if it’s completely sure that the missile lost its target (diverted from the interception course far and long enough)?
Also had it that some missiles blink in and out of the MAW detection every few seconds, even though they were continuously in the FoV of the MAW and I didn’t really maneuver.
Contrarily it means you can tailor the antennaes profile for the minimum RCS return. The F-35’s is permanently angled upwards due to this, but you could do the same with a gimbal I imagine.
The contract is deliberately structured in a way that makes leaving nearly as expensive as staying, when you factor in the R&D benefits its cheaper to see it through.
AFAIK the ECRS antenna is always 40° gimbaled but rotateable. So incoming frontal radar waves hit the radar dish always at a 40° angle.
With a gimbal it’d have some points where the AESA would be flat to some angles, but the swashplate on the ERCS is a decent enough answer to the problem of expanding radar scan zone while maintaining reduced RCS. Obviously cheaper to run a single fixed array though.

I’m expecting multiple fixed arrays, they wouldn’t have gone to the effort of making a gimballed AESA for EFT (actually 2 by the UK) if they didn’t see the need for high scan area Eurofighter doesn’t have the space for multiple arrays, Tempest rightly or wrongly is supposed to be huge so it’ll have no issues fitting them.
I’ve finally been able to fly the J-10C, but I didn’t expect the gap to be this big. What lost in order to gain that extra +2G was far too much.

Spoiler
is that neuro lol
While the speed bleed on the typhoon is absolutely catastrophic I do prefer being able to pull harder when I want to. The problem comes when you compare to an airframe like the raf which has far lower drag allowing it to pull harder for the same bleed.

Here’s an example of me not getting any rwr warning for eurofighter (happened today)

I get no rwr warning, only maws warning. At least first time i was able to defend, second time I wasn’t so lucky.

What is your RWR sensitivity set to?
