More realism and functions! | Updated RWR

Radar Warning Receivers are an important part of aircraft located in the upper ranges of airplanes and helicopters. A lot of community feedback, suggestions and wishes have been collected regarding RWRs, and as a result a lot of work has been done to drastically improve this part of the game.

Generally speaking, the RWR (Radar Warning Receiver) upgrade was intended to effectively reproduce the functionality of several individual RWR systems. In Realistic and Simulator modes, RWRs now have detectable frequency ranges, while some older RWRs lost the ability to distinguish tracking mode from simple illumination; some RWRs no longer differentiate between pulse-doppler and pulse radar signals.

According to the RWR model, targets are identified differently, depending on signal and carrier types, up to complete identification of the radar carrier based on database information. The most advanced RWRs are even capable of detecting missile launches with semi-active warheads, as well as anti-aircraft missiles in "silent" mode, that is, with the radar of a SAM turned off, based on radio commands sent to the missile en route to the target.

Now, let's go into a little more detail here!
