RWR Not working consistently

[Sev07Sniper]

Has anyone elses RWR been really really unreliable since the hotfix. I've had many games now where I either get a second of warning the moment I'm launched on, or there's absolutely no warning at all and I'm being killed by AIM-120's out of no where. It's becoming completely unplayable.

Make sure your RWR sensitivity is at 100% in air battle settings.
And RWRs don't really work (FOR SOME REASON) when you're turning. if you fly in a straight line the RWR will work and tell you about track and launch warnings (if it's good enough)
Hope this helps.

The RWR on some aircraft have blind spots.

My RWR is at 100 it's been like that for years, nothing has changed.
And you're describing the blind spots. I'm fully aware of all the different spots for most of aircrafts, I'm playing exactly the same as I have been.

Blind spots being signals only being detected if they hit a certain area of the plane. I understand that.
What I don't understand is your RWR not detecting signals if you turn just a tiny bit, if you pull negative G's you get rwr ping, you turn a bit more it stops.
It's very clearly not working when turning no matter what area of the aircraft is facing the incoming radar. it makes no sense realistically speaking. I got a feeling it has to do with the capabilities of the game engine.

Report it to the Gaijin forum about your RWR problem. It'll take time to answer your post.

I would if I had an ounce of faith they'd do anything about it.
I've made reports there and they get ignored, because the bug moderators are incompetent fools. besides, this is issue that almost any knowledgeable wt player knows about. It's not ever gonna get fixed unless there's a massive outcry from the community, as that's the only thing gaijin hears, because it threatens their bottom line

Yeah but its at 100 by default and it makes no sense to turn it down

Yeah, for a while it was sorta helpful if you didn't like hearing your RWR go off constantly because a f14 locked you from 40-60km away. but now 100 is mandatory, cause of better fox 3s
