F-104s.ASA should be moved down to 11.7 or given a real RWR

The F-104s.ASA should be moved down to 11.7 or lower. Either that or be given a usable rwr even if its ahistorical.

The F-104s.ASA in game has an RWR that does not provide a direction nor launch warning, requiring you to see the missile incoming in order to even attempt to notch it. This severely hampers its performance at 12.0 as it sees r27er, aim7f/m/p and other such missiles that if from top down can usually negate any multipathing effect you could use. It also stops you from figuring out if the ping is from behind or not making it very easy to sneak up on the F-104s.ASA as its situational awareness is lacking.

I either think it should be moved down or be given an rwr that would allow it to know the direction of the lock at least, for example the radar from the previous F-104s.

Would highly appreciate any input as well as spreading awareness of the issues it faces for the next br changes as this has been an issue for many years now with no fix in sight.

Honestly, if you want to use the Aspide, it’s better to just use the J-8B in the Chinese tree. F104S ASA is DOA.

I just bring 4 9ls and stay hidden, pure BnZ. Problem being that missile can be heard long before they hit a guy so theyll just flare most of my missiles off. I just want to make it somewhat usable as i can enjoy the ASA sometimes, it just requires a team that doesn’t fold in the first 5 minutes.

Heard?

Assuming the air rb tag is correct, unless you fire your sidewinders at extremely long ranges or from extremely low energy position, they should still be supersonic by the time they reach the target; ie. when he will finally hear the missile, it will be miliseconds from obliterating his forehead.

The F-104S ASA problem

So with the recent br changes having come into affect the F-16A was reduced in br in which it now sits comfortably at 12.3 but at 12.0 sits the in my opinion pretty sad F-104S ASA whose only real gimmick now is going quite fast but not much else seeing as all aspect ir missles become quite prevelant around the br What can be done to fix the F-104S ASA main problem some may ask pretty simple reduce its br to say 11.7 or 11.3 in which it becomes a bit more usable with its 9Ls being a not so comm…

F-104s/asa rwr

Hello, there is a bug with the RWR of the 104 asa, where it does not display who is tracking you, nor where. You only hear the sound and nothing else. [F-104/ASA RWR BUG]

thank you.
