RWR Nail/Spike Sound variations

[uncut fossil]

Maybe it's unnecessary for this game's scale, but it would be neat if your aircraft RWR had a separate sound for radar Spikes (aka, the radar source is in track/lock state) when you're being actively locked by the radar (this doesn't mean you were shot at, it just means you're being locked - and you're PROBABLY going to be shot at).

May or may not add some 'mind game' elements. If nothing else, it would add extra realism.

Also, variations for each faction's RWR sounds would be cool, and make each faction feel more unique.

Yeah, in a similar vein I kinda hope radar can be separated into a search mode and a track mode

[crude glade]

Could be funny for a Medusa to mess with the RWR and create a whole bunch of lock tones

[coral prawn]

Oh thats diabolical

[crude glade]

Man I would play medusa soooo much more if it meant messing with other players

[coral prawn]

Yeah please let me do this
I wanna watch revokers and ifrits freak out and run

Also ngl the medusa with scimitars or scythes would be really cool, only like 4 max tho

Ok so I'm reviving that because we got that for lines but not for sounds for some reason, and I would really like that because while you distracted by, for example, ground attack, sound que would wake you up more than a red line on the left corner of your screen while you are looking to the vehicle column on your right

I agree. Though I do already appreciate being able to tell if I'm detected or not. I would also totally understand if knowing you're detected went away, because IRL you have no way of knowing until you're locked.

Just to reiterate sound cue priority:

1. Incoming Missiles
2. RWR Spike (being locked/targeted)
3. RWR Nail (radar is searching/detecting)
4. Misc

[crude glade]

Nail would probably be its default sound. Spike could possibly be a rapid pulsing variant of its original sound similar to the ARH initial warning.

[uncut fossil]

Right, I wasn't suggesting a change to the default sound, just adding a new one for lock

[crude glade]

I agree, perhaps a variation with 4 rapid pulse sounds instead of 2

[steel thunder]

I wouldn’t mind if being undetected didn’t make a sound.

100% id rather have radar sounds to learn than the current color coding we have now, its significantly less gamey, less distracting, and more immersive imo

personally not the biggest fan of the M2k’s radar sounds but agreed and a good example video, but even then yeah the idea stands

[crystal turret]

either F15 or F14 personally, but the russian one i cant remember the name of isnt awful for its time)

When I had than less than 3 hrs in I got jammed and got like, 7 ARH and SARH warnings, I thought it was jamming, then I exploded into a zillion pieces

[grizzled oyster]

i'd prefer both. seeing it on the map lets you see which of the possibly many radars spiking you has a track or a lock, while sounds are more helpful for telling you that something is up

[solar vapor]

Seeing it on the map is just more accessible than strictly using sound.

[craggy horizon]

Medusa psyops would be funny, as long as it doesnt hurt ears with the high tones.

Maybe jamming could also create fake missile HUD icons that slightly glitch out when you look at them.

[uncut fossil]

Jamming primarily prevents lock by sending concentrated energy to the radar. Jamming is the electric equivalent to a smoke screen. The type of stuff you're describing is more akin to a virus infecting the plane, which is very different.

🥱

I understand that Nuclear Option isn't a "simulator" but it's also not totally detached from reality

[wild flicker]

Medusa fake Scimitar ping

[heavy fiber]

can we get a separate missile warning for scythes and scimitars?

[dire tide]

DRFM spoofing is a form of electronic warfare used to create false targets, distort real returns, or break locks by digitally manipulating the return signal.

If the EW aspect is eventually improved in the NO, it is an additional form of jamming beyond the Medusa's noise barrage jamming.

I see. Thanks for the correction
