It seems that the RWR on the Su-30SM2 is bugged. When an enemy aircraft is using its radar in my direction, the RWR doesn’t show anything, and I’ve even been hit by an AIM-120C missile out of nowhere.
I don’t know if this has to do with the type of aircraft using the radar against me, or with the vertical angle/coverage of the RWR when the enemy aircraft is flying slightly above me.
At first, I thought they were turning their radar off, but I noticed this has happened several times.
perhaps the missile was in the RWR dead zone above or below the aircraft
For god Gaijin, I have sure this RWR is not working well, It should be remade. I can see a lot of guys around me in the same altitude than I, and there is no ping in the RWR.
I’m not actively posting on the forum. Please find players with same issue and support my deduction below(Jamail al-Saari):

In conclusion, the 30° limit is for azimuth direction measurement, not the ingame ‘dead-zone’. Two ‘disk’ like antenna for above and below do exist.
I feel like I might be having issues with the RWR as well. Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
In this replay link, following me “THEnotoriousAIM” - pretty much in the beginning of the match I defeat a few missiles and the RWR goes completely silent for a few seconds until I then get smacked by an R77-1. I don’t feel like that should be caused by the RWR deadzone.
