Please update the legacy RWR on Chinese helicopters

Hi, I’d like to point out that Chinese helicopters have been stuck with the old RWR model for nearly a year now (RWR rework was released with the Sons of Attila update in September of 2023), and is quite possibly the only few remaining helicopters ingame that haven’t been updated to current War Thunder avionic standards.

There has been bug reports submitted over half a year ago and was acknowledged but not acted upon:

Images of the issue on the dev server (Note: RWR: RWR should state something like RWR: [Insert RWR name here] if it had the updated model!):

Z-10 is currently the only end tier aircraft out of all nations that has the old RWR model!

I understand if certain suggestions for these helicopters (such as armament configurations) have not been acted upon due to balance decisions, but neglecting to add a rework feature implemented nearly a year ago is just silly. If the dev team is taking time to add electrical systems to other helicopters, please don’t forget to update the RWR on old Chinese helicopters, thank you.

Yeah it’s pretty annoying a modern helicopter with modern RWR doesn’t have the updated RWR mechanics.

Still no RWR change after reports? That is disappointing

I’m not sure if they just forgot about it or if they just don’t care.

The RWR itself has unknown specs but they could at least just give it features that’s officially stated such as target type and IFF. I’m incredibly weary of planes buzzing me and not knowing if it’s enemy or friendly. So many times I had to let my attention be drawn to evasion because the RWR isn’t telling me what’s pinging or locking me because it uses the ancient RWR model.

Modern helicopters from one of the most rapidly technologically advancing countries in the world not having a modern radar warning receiver? Yeah. That makes sense.
