Air Warning System

From Battleground Europe Wiki

• AWS is designed to simulate the various forms of intelligence one might receive over the radio while in flight

• AWS primary goal is to increase the air players ability to find and engage the enemy

• There is a toggle on the map pane to turn on or off the AWS

• On the map you will see a grid

• The grid is labeled AA-DW horizontally and 0-60 vertically

• The grid size is 16km square

• The grid updates in cycles over 60 to 120 seconds

• The grid covers the whole theater

• Red grids indicate heavy enemy air presence reported

• Yellow grids indicate light enemy air presence reported

• These colors may be adjusted in settings

• AWS may not be interdicted, it is the culmination of several types of signals and intelligence

• AWS might not be avoided though the system is not 100% accurate

• AWS does not differentiate between types of aircraft

• AWS only shows enemies

AWS Reporting:

• When an aircraft begins to accelerate it becomes AWS enabled

• AWS enabled aircraft that exceed taxi speeds will begin to trigger AWS

• Once AWS is triggered the plane has 90 seconds before its position may begin being reported

• Slowing down and landing will remove a plane from reporting
