Hey there, I was going around helicopters across nations and couldn’t help but wonder, why does the A-129 family’s RWR not work despite being there?
I check, this doesn’t work on any of the Mangustas.
Is there a reason why?

I guess this relates with this post, but Mangusta RWR got heavily changed according to datamines

range: 70 → 65 km
it can now detect L, M bands as well
max tracked targets: 12 → 10
hold target time: 5 → 10 sec
hold new target time: 5 → 3 sec
Fighter (F) category renamed to AI
