In simulation the “missile evasion” message denounces that there is an enemy chasing you, which breaks the simulation game since silent approach is a basic requirement in this mode.
The message is working like a rear RWR. It would be like having an eye in the back, it works as an early missile warning and we know that many aircraft don’t have this system. It’s out of balance.
As a suggestion, you could implement the warning as follows:
If a particular pilot has evaded a missile and returned safely to his airport, the message only appears when this pilot has landed, showing the amount of missile evasion between a take-off and a landing.
Please let me know what you think about this and whether you agree with my suggestion. If you have a suggestion on the subject, let me know.
Guys, I’ve created a report. Anyone who can go there and post that “I have the same problem” will help draw attention to this bug. Follow the link: Community Bug Reporting System
If you have a link to the same problem, send it here in the comments so we can follow up together.
It honestly changes nothing.
I already know over 5 seconds prior to the message showing up that a missile missed me, cause it shows up LONG AFTER the missile misses.
It’s not an RWR, an RWR warns you BEFORE launches not after.
It doesn’t match reality. Imagine the following situation:
You’ve entered an enemy’s 6 o’clock, you know you only have two missiles to shoot him down from a distance. You launch the first missile and miss due to its loss of energy, so you try to get closer to your target and launch the second missile and your enemy sees it coming and starts launching countermeasures.
Your enemy guessed that a second missile was coming because of a previous “missile evasion” message, while he has already asked you to “cover me” and you are shot down for not being silent enough. Of course, this happens in real life, doesn’t it?
Today I saw a launch towards me and began an evasive maneuver, keeping the enemy in sight.
A message appeared, “missile evasion” and I realized that the missile had missed.
