TWS not showing anything

My TWS does not show anything. I’ve tried it match after match with every plane I have that has a TWS mode. The only way I can lock enemies is with HMD which severely limits my situational awareness and the range of my Fox 3’s. This has been happening since the new update and it is driving me up the walls. Does anyone know what is causing it? I am losing my mind over here trying to play high tier Air.

What plane?
Image or video of you trying to use it?

I’ve tried the: Mirage 2000-5f and 2000C-S5, British Typhoon and JAS39, Israel F-15I and the F16 Barak II. Every one does the same thing. Match starts and I set my radar to TWS like I’ve done every match for the last year. I see where enemy is flying and then focus on players I think will cross my path. However, when they get closer than a certain point, I’m estimating around 30-40kms, the radar just stops showing contacts. I will see if I can get a video of it, not sure how though.

I’ve noticed though that even at long ranges as well it doesn’t show all the enemy planes. If I switch to SRC PD I can see many more than on TWS. But they also disappear when the distance shrinks

I’m guessing by your silence that you have no clue what is causing the issue I’m experiencing.

correct :P

You can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)

this is a real issue i have been having aswell, and if it does show something its a missile or something the ‘‘memory’’ thinks was there, all i can see is objects moving at like 10km/s and thats it

This issue on the Typhoon has been fairly well discussed since its introduction. But not the other aircraft so far. Wouldn’t be surprised if TWS+ was too blame for them

the thing is tws+ was meant to fix the typhoon, u get a high speed nerf and u get a good radar was the tradeoff they offered, all u get now is worse FM

Yeah… Was exceedingly disapointing
