Unnecessary and unneeded addition. Hope gaijin will remove it…

Or atleast make it an option that you can disable.

The message has popped up over a dozen times by now, but I only noticed it like 4 times.
It seems out of the way, and it occurs long after you evaded the missile.
This notification gives effectively no information to the player they can use during the battle.

This feature doesn’t add anything that can make combat easier, so obviously not pandering to any player.
Clearly after use this feature changes literally nothing other than a potential learning opportunity.
The things this could teach me I already know, so not useful to me but it could be to others, especially in training sessions.
Also a potential bug report tool.

It’s a bad feature that should be removed. simple as.
Gotta be honest, really not a fan of this popup.
All it does is alert people, who may have otherwise been oblivious, to the fact someone is trying to engage them.
AB? Fine, whatever.
RB? I really lean against it.
SB? Absolutely remove this.

It helps a lot though?
How does it alert you BEFORE you dodge?
If someone fires a missile, and it misses, the player who was fired at now knows that someone is trying to engage with them, and can act accordingly.
And you can think of many scenarios in which that happens? Because it doesn’t happen in my gameplay almost ever.
Not uncommon for people to accidentally ‘flare’ a missile they didn’t even know was coming for them (sometimes even by simply firing a missile of their own which acts like flare).
Sometimes missiles run out of energy, and some oblivious guy is basically getting a free warning to check his 6.
Sometimes in furball, guy you fired missile at flies near a friendlies flares which saves him.
There’s lots of scenarios where someone is getting this popup to their advantage to act upon it.

I guess in that scenario? Very minor impact on gameplay for this to be a complaint while it helps people learn evasion.
The rest are rare.
You dont already use the correct units of measurement for aircraft depending on nation?
Ameteur :P
I think the biggest criticism is coming from it being present in sim.
The people who play that mode, are playing it specifically because they don’t want UI handholding like this.
It should obviously not be in sim, but many ppl here are complaining about it being in arcade and RB where it is basically just purely beneficial for the experience except for the very specific perspective of someone trying to capitalize off people being unaware of missiles who also doesnt understand when to fire the missiles so they get evaded…
in air rb i hear the missile whizz past me way before the text appears so 99% of time doesnt really give you info that you didnt already have, maybe when notching bvr shots might be a bit strong
its for notching or flaring, not kinetic dodges which are only really being done at lower BRs
Yeah, I think this new pop is pretty stupid. At least I can use it to be even more effective at terrain masking though, as I now know exactly when my opponents Fox-3 has slammed into the opposite side of the terrain, so I can go offensive sooner.
How do you say its stupid then immediately give a really good reason why it was added
Because I shouldn’t have telepathy to know the exact moment a missile that wasn’t being picked up by RWR and I couldn’t visibly see was defeated on the other side of terrain?
