Radar target filter for missiles

I think anyone who has played any modern jet with a decent radar set that allows a fast TWS refresh has had the misfortune of accidentaly locking on to a missile that has just been fired just because your radar suddenly decied to start tracking a fired missile instead of the enemy jet we are trying to destroy. Or maybe you are trying to find an enemy to engage just for your radar to go through several launched missiles it can detect before selecting the guy you want.

And lets be honest, does anyone really shoot down enemy missiles in order to survive an engagement instead of notching or terrain masking? Sure you may save yourself with that trick as a last effort, but Id rather accept defeat at that point.

Having 32 jets that carry 6 or more ARH missiles in air RB is already messy as it is and I sure as hell dont want to be able to detect or lock on every enemy missile that is in front of my nose.

With the recent update we got the ability to completely filter out friendly contacts on our radar to reduce cluttering our scopes with friendly and enemy contacts. But in all honesty noone is really gonna care about that feature since TWS doesnt even allow us to lock on to friendlies. But for the love of God can we not just add a simple missile filter to our radars too? Im definetly not trying to roleplay as a SPAA in air rb and intercept enemy missiles with my fighter jet.

Please and thank you.
