so yesterday I was playing the f4j and every once in a while, I heard a new rwr warning sound that the f18 has I was wondering if anyone else has had it happen
yeah i think they put it up for all aircraft
if its the sound i think you are talking about, it is a sound for when a contact shows up on your RWR. its for most jets with a semi modern RWR afaik
I caught the sound in a clip so ill post it here in a sec
Yeah, that tumbling sound is for a new contact.
then why am I not hearing it often? is it because of a bug or something?
Did Gaijin put up any explanation what the new sounds mean?
no I dont think so
IN REAL LIFE it’s used for a special contacts, so it’d be things like advanced radars capable of TWS launches. In WT, I’m not sure if they’ve modelled it for special targets or just all targets. I’d wait for Tim’s Variety to update his RWR video before concluding anything.
so whats a special contact then?
Anything with a tws mode or that can launch longer range missiles without triggering your RWR. This is the easiest way I can explain it so I’ve probably left out alot of nuance.
so what does that exactly I thought they all had to give warnings, oh wait is it stuff that uses a band that your rwr cant detect
Partly yes, but also has the capability to launch fox-3 missiles in the TWS mode.
well I dont see many fox 3’s with the f4j so probably just radar bands in this case
Bands the radar sees EFGHIJ
and the rwr detects I band so that’s what just the most common radar band?
This I do not know, try testing it with a friend if you can.
