MAW countermeasure issue in JAS39E

I have looked at multiple videos, all of them clicked on countermeasure slaving to MAW to close countermeasures being shot at MAW’s detection.
Though, when I click on it in my JAS39E, my MAW doesn’t turn off and keep shooting countermeasure.

It’s been saying “Uploading 100%” for like 5 minutes. I don’t know if it’s sent now.

You can bug report it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

Go into options and turn off " activate automatic countermeasures slaving to maw at the start of the game" or smth like that and see if it solves it

Okay. I did. JAS39E’s slaving to MAW switch won’t work in game // Gaijin.net // Issues

Found the setting, clicked on the switch. Now, the MAW is closed before the game starts but I can’t switch it back to on through “countermeasure slaving to MAW”. So I can’t switch slaving either options while in game.

does it work like this on any other plane with MAW? I’m thinking there might be a problem with your keybind or the Y menu. Try binding it to see if it works

Try toggling it via the keybind and not the MFM (multi-function menu) I’ve seen a few things where the MFM is bugged but the actual keybind works

I have tried on EC-665 Tiger HAP. Same MAW issue happens on it too. And I didn’t mention but I tried both keybinding and multi-function menu at the beginning. For any case, I have tried both ways in EC-665 too.

I didn’t mention but I have already tried both ways at the beginning.

I have looked deeper at community.gaijin.net and according to users who have the same issue, MAW settings can’t be changed in-game when client is in minimal storage. I have just tried it, downloaded the full client and now I can change slaving setting without a problem.
But I can’t keep the game on full client, so I need Countermeasure slaving to MAW switch not working on minimal client bug to be solved
