(Now my personal opinion)
Yeah I don’t see why this needed to be changed, the RWR system right now is fine as is, I really wish to know the reason behind this change, genuinely.

yeah agree!! gaijin should change it by more realistic way. or just dont change it…
changing it with a simple mechanism is not a brilliant action…

exactly! they gave little info on why they are doing it, and have refused to elaborate or even aknowledge public outcry

Hey,
It was part of modeling the various RWR displays to have their realistic symbology. This identified a disparity between the Threat ID tables and the available symbology on a number of units.
As always we welcome well sourced reports on this subject.
Cheers

So we can bring the F5’s temperature up to where it should be, yeah? Or would that be an ahistoric nerf for US planes based information not demonstrated in the cockpit?

So the only way to fix the issue is to share very specific and likely classified documents. Since I doubt the information they want is publically shared.
Considering there’s basically no other way to confirm the nerf is wrong that they seem to be willing to accept.

I think I can use some British documents that cover our Sky Guardian RWR units, as they use the same display unit found in American aircraft as justification. I’ll be creating a report tonight. When I get a Dev response I’ll provide you all with an update where possible.

Appreciated to hear, I don’t quite get the sudden reasoning behind the nerf though. Or the insistence on it dispite the overwhelmingly negative feedback from what I’ve seen.

Sure, I just mentioned the F-14 because it’s the biggest outlier of this in-game.

I created a report on the possibility of reprogramming EID tables based on many authoritative sources, explained how digital RWRS work and why using documents from the 80s and 90s to set up EID tables in a game where the technique of 2010 does not make sense. But the report was closed due to the reason “Different RWR systems detect the signal differently”, although in my report it was only about identifying a previously detected signal. Apparently, either the developer is too stupid and does not understand that in the documents of the 80-90s there can be no mention of sa-22 or other equipment, and does not understand that this does not mean that now RWR systems cannot identify it or are too arrogant and nerf aviation despite the absurdity and unreality of the new mechanics of EID tables. Perhaps it will be useful or interesting for someone to study my sources, here is the link: Community Bug Reporting System

Respectfully, this is an area of the game that could be slightly less realistic, IMO.

is the symbology on a digital display not software that would change overtime as new threats were identified

Obviously this is a stupid question. The SA-22 entered service in 2006, and we all know that the Americans have acquired one of these systems, and obviously NATO is familiar with the SA-22’s radar. But the document on the RWR symbol for SA-22 must be later than 2006. Without discussing how to obtain such undeclassified documents, GAIJIN now does not acknowledge documents that cannot be proved declassified after 1994.

I think a solution that would suit everyone is to add all the viehical presented in the game to the EID table without disturbing the realistic structure of the display, for example, make SA-22 on the RWR display as “22”, which will not spoil the realism and will not interfere with the gameplay. So far I don’t see any real reason or document claiming that SA-22 and others could not be added to the EID table and identified in real life. Sorry for the bad English, I’m just using a translator.

It is clear that even the DCS has compromised in this regard. No one can legally obtain this information.

US doesnt even have to acquire one to program an RWR to identify it. The US has giant SigInt satellites and plenty of EW planes so they would have been able to pick up the specific signals of how a radar operates even when it is just being used in some other countries territory.

thats kinda what the old system was but Gaijin wanted to get more classifed documents on radar threat tables so they are doing this change.
