TheStig Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I keep getting blown outta the sky by R-27 and R-77s from Flankers and Fulcrums with no sounds coming from the RWR. The F-22 I downloaded is completely unmodded and followed the readme directions for installation. What am I missing? Is anyone else having this same problem? Also, is my RWR getting jammed???? Quote
Jarhead1 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 there are versions of the R-27 and R-77 that are IR guided as well, so if those are the models that hit u, then u would hear them as the RWR pics up only radar emissions. Quote
Viggen Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) *beats head on wall* Your RWR is not working becuase you are 100% stealthy when flying it in game. No radars will pick you up...none...at all. Edited January 25, 2009 by JA 37 Viggen Quote
TheStig Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 Hmmm.... If an F-22 is an F-22, shouldn't the heat signature be significantly reduced compared to a conventional aircraft design? I wonder if there is a way to reduce your heat signature on this game too since it's so flexible. Quote

Yes and No. Only the F-117 and the B-2 have bypass-cooled "beavertail" exhaust diffusers, and they're designed to be effective against ground launched IRMs, not airborne threats. They also lack afterburners. The F-22's IR signature reduction comes mainly from it's ability to supercruise, from the location of its wing fuel cells, and lastly, from the marginally buried exhaust section of its engines. It still presents a visible IR sig when compared to the '117 or B-2, though it is quite reduced compared to say, an F-16. Quote
Viper6 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 If you are getting hit by IR missles then you gotta keep situational awareness and clear your six or have your wingie cover your six. Quote
johnrey Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 You can also hear missile launch warnings like "Missile Lauch!" or "Missile Inbound!", so you can evade them using chaff and flare. Quote
+Dave Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 There is not a whole lot you can do about IR missiles because they are sneaky bastages. You just have to hope you see it before it sees you. Quote
New Guy Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Me often got nailed by unseen Fulcrums/Flankers that throws heat-seekers. The lesson I learned were "never stop jinking around, but not too much that your speed bleed off. And keep watch on your 6". Quote
TheStig Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 Hmm... I guess I should have wingman when fighting on 'heavy' aircraft setting rather than going out alone then Ace Combat style Quote
New Guy Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 That's what I usually do. Tell the flight to engage, and tell the wingman to cover my 6. Not always worked though, sometimes my wingman would be downed first... Quote
