Nah, you are right, he has just no clue what hes saying, because from his 6 vehicles he listed, 4 even dont have MAW to beginn with
MAWS in game come in two flavours UV/IR sensors and PD radar, on some platforms they use sensor fusion to compare what the RWR see’s and what the MAW sees and tries to release the right countermeasure for the threat.
But for example Eurofighter Typhoon as 360° coverage for its RWR in both elevation and azimuth. But its MAW coverage is only 360° in azimuth, in elevation its 45° this means there is a blind stop top and bottom. When a threat comes into coverage of both, if the RWR sees it (SARH or ARH missile) it will drop chaff, if the MAW sees it but the RWR doesn’t (IR/Wire Guided/laser/beam riding etc) it will flare.
That doesn’t mean they share coverage though.

I think MAW comes in the MLWS part. The one that tells you if an IR missile is coming.
EF2000's MLWS coverage
He posted both the RWR and MLWS.
Yep, MLWS = Missile-Launch-Warning-System, or in short MAW
It’s funny how, despite not having a MAW, I can activate and deactivate it on these models, and before the latest update, they all automatically launched countermeasures. It must have been magic 😂😂😂
Oh, I’m blind then, haha.
You got prove? Because otherwise its pure fantasy…
Or maybe you activated periodic release and didnt noticed it…
It must be that in the 7 games you have played with the F-111A you have not even realized that it has a MAW that worked perfectly automatically

More proof than see the auto deploy of chaff and flares?? Have you tried turning it on and off on those models? Did you know that if the plane doesn’t have it, you’ll get a message saying it doesn’t have one?
You have the F-111 and you didn’t even know it had a MAW installed
I doubt you use any cited aircraft properly
The AH-1W is equipped with a MAW system which will automatically release countermeasures if a heat-seeking missile is launched at the helicopter, and an IRCM system creates jamming for IR missiles’ seeker heads
When was the last update? Yesterday the MAW on the Mirage 2000 was working.
I dont think all planes with MAW were affected
I just did a match in the f111a and the MAWS worked.
Yes. It works in F-111
Huh…

I haven’t had any issues with MAW systems.
Also
Two of those dont even have MAW.
This message will show up on ANY plane that has both countermeasures and RWR, it doesn’t mean said plane has MAW . Just a little snail oversight . (Don’t tell them about it, they will somehow break at least 10 features trying to fix this one)

Check the statshark.net website, as you can see, the MAW only works when the missile comes from behind:
If the missile comes from the top or the front of the plane, the MLWS won’t detect it. (The RWR will detect it if it comes from the front, however, if it comes from the top or bottom, it will not detect it).
