Played against 2 friends last night.
They were in eagles and i was in a flanker.
I shot both down with active missiles from above and the front.
So they were moaning they should have got warning tone.
I could only think that the sensors for detecting this were either mostly rearward and thats why?
Is that correct or is that a bug?

If you are using the EOS system in the flanker, they will have no warning at all. You use this by pressing the 2 key then "O" instead of the "I" key. This lets you lock and fire on targets and they will have no idea.
No i used BVR.
So was this bugged?
If you mean by active missiles active radar, they should have seen the right missile tracking's symbol on their TEWS! It does work well on both!

So there is no Warning tone?
Just the Missile warning Symbol in the TEWS?
There's a warning tone for an Active radar missile - if not for the launch (if you use EOS, which sometimes happens) then for the missile's own seeker.
On the other hand, if you launch a heat seeker with EOS then there should be no warning tone at all.
There's currently a hole though (a bug) that lets you guide SARH missiles using the EOS - I think I've even seen a couple people do this online (sling a SARH, you get the hard spike, launch tone, then nothing at all) and just switch to EOS to guide it and make you think it's all hunky-dorey.
Pitbull an AMRAAM their way and go evasive if that happens.
There is a warning tone.
There is also a bug ! It works likes this: you make a mission and assign loadouts to each aircraft. You host the mission. One of the players changes the pre-designated loadout with a loadout of his own, he just changes a couple of missiles. That players missiles will be invisible in the game, and no-one will get any warning tone or even a TEWS warning.
That is what I have noted on at least 3-4 occasions (though I'm not 100% sure how accurate I am here). Essentially sometimes when you change pre-configured loadouts your missiles become "invisible".
Would appreciate if anyone else who has seen this would post and shed some light on it as well. Thanks.

That's intereseting and would explain somthing I thought to be kinda odd that happened the other night. I was playing some coop with a friend and I was flying a F-15 escorting his A-10 that was trying to hit a port facility. A couple Migs arrived and I tagged both in TWS mode and launched AMRAAMs at them. I had switched from the default load in the mission to give my plane more AMRAAMS since I was alone up there and wanted that TWS ability. But anyway I fired both at the Migs at around 17nm or so if memory serves and neither one took much in the way of evasive action and both were downed.
