AA missles undetectable?

[Der_Waffen]

Hi... Just to start a new thread on the subject, I'm curious to know what planes are vunerable to the "invisible AA missle" I'm talking about no radar flash, or no incoming "m" on the radar screen.

I rarely play Blufor, so I know that the Stinger is always undetectable when fired at the Su-25. I've heard the same about the A-10 vs. maybe Strela or igla launchers.

Can anyone confirm what planes are vunerable to what missile systems?

I seem to be able to detect AA-pod stations and other missiles launched from choppers and planes...

I think all planes are vulnerable to all missiles systems, unlike you I rarely play OPFOR so yeah...

I've never heard of 'invisible missiles'. Can you give us more context?

In MP it seems that the incoming missile warning is very unreliable. Basically it forces you to spam countermeasures the whole time you're in the combat zone.

Most of the planes seem to not have "AA radar warning" when fired at. (Mostly non-AO planes)

There are mods that do fix that though.

Now I don't know to what degree exactly ArmA2 simulates this but you do know that heat-seeking missiles are completely undetectable by anything but human eyes in real world?

Only radar-guided missiles can be detected due to radar emissions.

The type of SAM threats you face in ArmA2 are undetectable by RWR because they are IR seeker heads; all aircraft in game are WVR exclusive, and armed with "heaters". 3rd and 4th Gen ACFT cannot detect these without a pod. BIS did something correct here.

The issue you are reporting is due to how the Su-25 RWR system is set in OA.

If you look at the code the SU-25 you see it has in the cpp the following lines

IncommingMisslieDetectionSystem = 0;
radarType = 4;

The incomingMisslieDetectionSystem = 0; means that there is no visual or audible warning when a missile is fired upon you.
