Above is just an example list, not a full list
yeah but it is a list nonetheless, and it confirms JA37C won’t be able to detect Tracking anymore, so what’s your point?

If its wrong, submit a bug report with evidence then. But that seems to be a minor change, will still detect lock just make not get warning from stuff like TWS right?
You cannot accurately tell range based only on power because a more powerful, but further away radar may give a stronger signal than a closer but less powerful radar. It can only be treated as a very rough indication of relative range.
Which threat ring a radar ends up in usually depends on more-so on it’s type. For example airborne tracking radars pose a greater threat than ground based surveillance radars.
Not a dev / mod but can answer some of this:
On the Dev server all RWRs had been reworked, these are presumably just the ones with major changes. For example the ARI.18223 and ARI.18228 got the new threat lights added, but are not listed above.
I’m sure this is already on the stat card when you hover over the radar in x-ray mode.

Some older warning stations will now be unable to detect the target tracking mode of the radar. The target will be constantly displayed on the indicator but will no longer feature a dashed line or a special continuous audio signal. For more modern RWRs, the active tracking mode will still be indicated by a dashed line from the center of the indicator to the source of the emission, with a “TRACK” message appearing above the indicator.
List of stations that have lost the ability to detect tracking mode:

Doesn’t seem like it.
Mirage 3E having it is fun
So, before I start compaining, I have to say: I love the increased functionality of the RWR! I think this step towards realism is a good thing for the game, and I can’t wait to see what else the future brings.
However, I do have to throw down some criticism: the RWR is far too sensitive. I am getting radar lock warnings from aircraft that are ahead of me and pointing away from me. Having increased functionality for the RWR is great, but a radar warning reciever is pointless if I am getting constant false positive warnings. Alarm fatigue is a real thing!

This mechanics is just another big lie, u will get destroyed by missiles without any warning.

well it depends on if the plane has launch warning/lock warning or just track warning. it is very much dependent on specific RWR in each plane.

i think you can set sensitivity in settings if i’m not mistaken
This experience happanes in GBR, most part of SPAA i get RWR warning, but the russians SPAA dont show RWR, like Strellas, Pantsirs etc… so few seconds after respawn u get a missile impact, theres no smoke in air, no beep, no warning, even flyng very low they can track you and kill easy.
Ah yeah… That will be because most aircraft (if not all, not sure what can) cant detect the Pantsir’s radar frequency…
At top tier, the only SPAAs you can expect to recieve track and launch warnings from are FlaRakRads, Tors, and Itos, since they all have J-band tracking radars which pretty much every RWR set can detect. Every other AA above 11.0 either has IRST (ADATS) or a K-band tracking radar (OTO and S1), which only a few RWR sets found on helis can detect.
P.S. except for the RWR sets SPO-15 found on most MiG-29s and the terrible, terrible APP-73 found on the Viggens, every top tier jet can detect every search radar at 11.3 and 11.7. If you see that S1 or ADS contact, know that there’s AA up that won’t give you track or launch warnings.
I know this is old by this point, but is there any good guide to the new radar/RWR functions?
Has Gaijin got a guide?
is there a reliable good player made guide?
My first main question is about the indicator lights under the RWR and their meanings, some planes have lights with text not mentioned here.
and my second question is about the difference between RWR contacts that are either circled or not, what is the difference?

But I think some mechanisms are not realistic, I have some personal advice plz check the link below :)
Nah. Nope. What do you want to do.?? i already barley see the S1. Yall making it invisible as well as other spaa’s

I suspect you guys want to declare war to non RUS mains or player
Give us back the original plan b4 update
Adequately portrays my feelings:
