MiG-23ML radar/missile not giving RWR ping

I’ve been killed over 20 times today because I simply get no RWR ping from the MiG-23ML, for reference I am using the MiG-27M with the SPO-15 Radar Warning set. Anyone else either have the same issue or know why this is happening?

My only guess is its a bug, or the IFF in the SPO-15 is messed up, Id’ing all Soviet/Russian aircraft radars as friendly and filtering them out.

Spo15 can see J-band radars
Mig23 uses J-band radar
So, just outside of freq

that doesn’t make sense, it can see J band, and the radar the MiG-23 has is J band, it should be able to sense it.

This just happened to me, completely dead silent. It has probably happened numerous times, but since it has so IFF filter my friendlies create lots of white noise.

SPO-15 detection bands are G, H and I.

MiG-23ML radar is J band.

Not a bug, SPO-15 can’t detect J band radars like the MiG-23ML.

The MiG-23 only has front-right, front-left, rear-left, and rear-right sensors, so it can’t detect missiles coming from above or below. So yeah, it’s kind of useless.

That image shows spo-15, which can detect stuff above and below. The 23MLD and the Mig-27s have this RWR.

You described Spo-10, which the 23ML and MLA use.

Considering even the MiG-21 can detect J-Band radars, I don’t think that’s right at all.

I noticed same stuff, radar missles from Mig-23MLD are not shown on RWS not even on MiG-21 Bison RWS… same as 9L also…not giving RWS warning. Not to mention Aim-120b is almost impossible to notch or/and multipath… but yeah Devs have more important work like fixing a one pixel that got over motor of a jet…LOL

But it is what it is…

You know the AIM-9L is an IR missile, right?

So it should not give out RWS warning? LOL

Ahhh, shit I’m going to sleep.

naaah dont worry you good ❤️

Ok so (I don’t know fancy terms don’t judge or correct ) the mug 23 ml radar is special, it sucks after the nerf but special, a lot of rwrs don’t have the specific (frequency?) so it doesn’t pick it up. I hate the ml when I had it. Don’t recommend it.

It is right, look at the x-ray tooltips in the hangar.

The MiG-21 has a SPO-10 RWR, with detection bands H, I and J.

then why can i still detect the mig-23 radar, but not the missile?

Idk, not enough information there. Could be an IR missile, could be an RWR that doesn’t give launch detection (like the SPO-10), etc.

Hi my reply is not relevant to this topic
But I want to see the other player’s view in the replay feature which was available before but now it is not there. It is very important for everyone who wants to learn from the best player of the team and the way they fight.
I raised the suggestion but it looks like there is nothing going on.
Please will you help me to convey this message to WT.

You should just be able to open replay mode after the battle is over and then switch to the enemy player by clicking on their name on the opposite side of yours. Gaijin has removed the ability to watch enemies when they are not spotted, which does create some issues.

Have you not looked at the band capabilities of the RWR?
