DASS is the entire defensive suite. So ECM, CM/TRD, MAWS, RWR, LWR, etc etc

RWR just handles detecting radar emissions, which is fed into the DASS

But when I test in test drive, the RWR not works like sphere. It can’t detect missile from below. Even they are already labeled this as fixed.

and the RWR is full 360Β°, its juts the MAW which isnt 360Β°, you are mixing these 2

2909

What missile?

Unless its ARH guided, the RWR wouldnt detect the missile coming from below.

If its SARH/Beam riding and the launcher has radar lock, it would detect the vehicle, but not the missile.

If its guided via laser on IRST, then only the FGR4 would detect it with its LWR (though cant remember if the LWR is spherical)

MAWS is not spherical, RWR is

Aaaaa… okay, my bad, finally I understand.

edit: do we know if the LWS can pinpoint the angle? at the moment it looks like its just based on which sensor(s) detect the lase

2912

I think that is correct or its an unknown detail. Best ask Gunjob or Flame though

It’s not a guess as much as the Β±45 is just the default value for any MAW unless they get a specific source saying otherwise.

2914

could it be that the gun lead marker is still bugged in the HUD?

2915

Yeah still bugged after 8 months of the report being accepted and nearly 10 months of the Typhoon being added.

2916

this reminds me of how it took them about a year to add the tornado radar lock symbology

2917

Was more like 18 months

How are you guys getting the Hud IFF to work? In test flight it ID nothing?

2919

The HMD IDs only Friendly Planes, not enemys

Right I thought I saw it marked enemy planes and ground targets. Guess we got the downgraded version

Has anyone been unable to fire Aim-120s while having a lock with pirate (within 10km)? i keep getting the message β€œradar lock is required” despite being able to fire Aim-120s using pirate about a month or so ago

apologies if this is already known, i dont play much cap in grb
