20km for IR Lock
Very nice.
Ofc thats max range, things like cloud somewhere on the map limit it.
TERMA pods have 240 CMs that can be a mix of flares or chaff and has MAWS
BOZ have 28 large flares and 600 large chaff
So if you need just pure chaff,.you are better off with a BOZ pod or 2, but otherwise the extra flares and MAWS is better. You do get semi good coverage with one pod, so you don’t need to take 2, but you will have blind spots.
@Gunjob the gr.4 still lacks BOL pods, is it going to get them at this rate?
There’s literally no reason not to give it BOL pods IMO

No update to the report unfortunately, but you can make some noise here;
And we can forward that feedback to the devs.

Seems something went amiss with the GR.1’s drop tanks on dev
Spoiler
Dev server:
Stable:
Oddly they go back to being green if you apply the No. 2 Sqn. “Arctic camouflage” marketplace skin

Forwarded cheers.
Does the MAWS even work at present? I’ve had 0 warnings flying over rolands.
I had some last test drive, but it did feel a little inconsistent and very short ranged. Not had a chance to load up the dev server this time round yet
Yeah, I’ve not had any warnings on them this dev. Had a missile end up within ~1km and no warning.
So it should drop at 7.5km?
And was gunna ask about angles from each pod, assuming thats from the pod, doesnt that mean there is a blind spot directly behind the aircraft or am I totally miss-reading that?
Just testing it now and its working but has huge blind spots
I’ve not had it warn of any threat so far. So I assume the thing thing is more blind spot than not
So it works except for the direction one would actually want their maws to work for. Wonderful.

Yeah, its wierd. Being a ground attacker, Id figure the MAWS would have pretty good coverage for dealing with SAMs and would more likely have a blindspot for an incoming A2A missile.
Unless its only launching on missiles that are a threat? I know thats how the GR7s MAWS is meant to work, but no idea about the TERMA
Yeah, should probably seek clarification on how it functions, as it stands it isn’t looking all too flash.
I also cant visualize the FoV from Devil’s datamine he showed. So Im wondering what the coverage is like with just 1 Pod so that you could maintain 1x BOZ for the extra and larger chaff. Might come in handy in Sim vs the ICEs
