no it isnt
the stuff that is supposed to be circles are still oval

i overlayed a proper circle so it is easier to see

MAW failed to detect aster 30 at 20km… wtf have they done.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuh

8 months and it’s still like this, that’s wild af

MAW range is 9.2km? Why would it be detected by the MAW at 20km?

I mean the launch was at 20km, but it failed to detect even to impact.

The MAW is failing to detect launches at range as if it were IR.

Well optical MAW can detect more than 5 KM despite the stats saying it only can detect equal to under 5 KM.

@Gunjob , if I’m not mistaken you mentioned a while back that the Eurofighter’s HUD would be fixed, right? Cause it doesn’t look like it, or are they just leaving it for later as a non priority thing?

I did? No I’ve reported all the scaling issues, I’ve never promised a fix to my knowledge.

Its only got 45° of elevation it could’ve come in too steep for the MAW. The MAW also doesn’t care if its IR or ARH. You’re mixing up the RWR and MAW, the RWR has launch detection which works out to 100km. The RWR’s might not be updated for Aster yet.

Missile came in flat (I was above the launcher by about 2km). RWR worked fine.

I can start clipping each instance if you’d like.

Sure.

On a separate instance, I just had the exact OPPOSITE issue. Buk M3 missile(???) set off my MAW out of nowhere, I moved to evade (no RWR signature btw) and this thing flew right past me.

footnote: THROUGH me. No damage.


The issue may be on the end of the SAMs.

yeah sorry, I misunderstood it

Spoiler


the MAW is so cooked
This is only like 30km too.

Further clips as I get them:
Buk


IRIS-T

From this point im just kinda flying into them because it seriously does not want to work…

Buk


Buk - The MAW is triggered late, but if you look at the MAW UI you’ll notice it was actually because of an AMRAAM launched by an F-18 who is much closer at launch point, and not the buk at all.

Report for the state of the HUD tint.

Also, I meant IR-based, as in IR/UV based MAW will fail to detect a launch at extended range as the missile will have already burnt out. the radar-based MAW should not care and yet it appears to.

“Used to pray for times like this”, I finally don’t have to manually recolor it for screenshots…

IR MAW are totally capable of seeing burnt out missiles tho, especially when we talk about Mach 4+ missiles with high skin heating. It’s plausible for example that the improved MAW on the Rafale F3 can see a Buk3 from further away than the Radar based MAW from the typhoon. Although it is true that the typhoon should also detect it from very far away since its such a large missile
