RWR problem
-
perhaps more flare than chaff is helpful when shot at by an IR missile. Prog 2 on CMDS will dispense more flares. Usually the source of the IR missile shows up on the RWR, if an enemy jet is behind you for some seconds and no missile warning then turn around and watch for the smoke mentioned above. The new BMS models the smoke nicely.

Again hit by hawk missile without any warning
I need help -
There are LOTS of systems out there that can shoot you down without any warningâŚusing any number of tricks.
Key is to keep your head on a swivel and to spot them shooting (itâs always the missile you donât see that kills you)âŚand/or to avoid flying into their WEZ entirely. After that, itâs all about last ditch missile defense. And maintaining lookout for that second shotâŚ

Always expect something can hit you without any sign on the RWR. The most probable thing is that something hits you without warning are IR missiles. Sometimes their firing aircraft may lock you with radar but if smart they wonât. The same with SAMs, i.e. SA-6 or especially manpads (no radar at all).
AND: some weapons even have other possibilities of guidance like TV or HOJ (Home on jamming if you are using your ECM). Especially the SA-10 is ugly nasty in Falcon
There is a really good PDF around here about your problem, called The Vault from TeeSquare:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?26874-Threat-GuideFor Hawk, I can see in there it has HOJ capabilities and to some extend optical guidance. You will not see it on your RWR if it doesnât use its radar.
Edit: Best avoidance of unseen threats is to stay high above 20.000ft. Then it is more probable you get a RWR warning (except SA-10). IR missiles are most short range and will not fire into such high altitudes. Study your route for the biggest threats before flying. Listen to your wingman, he will call to you launches most times.

Agree 100%, and I guess I need to start running ACMI as my 1st Ingress in the Desert Storm (Kuwait) Campaign I was cruising at 23k at the IP and WHAM, ball of flame going 450 kts⌠No launch warning, no bogies I ever saw within 20km, nothing. Starting to wonder if a 120 went Mad Dog as the sky was pretty busyâŚ

Thank you Atze
But , what if i fly and my ECM is Off and my radar is silent
Are these missiles will targeting me or they cant see me ? -

You can try flying MAP ânap of earthâ using terrain for cover mountains and valleys however this also has drawbacks like lower fuel economy with a higher fuel burn rate exposure to threats like moblle sams and AA BMS 4.34 simulates atmosphereic preasure
witch would suggest the sim is using blade element theory?? Maneuvering speed of the F-16 is 340kts but you are going to want to fly faster then that to avoid ground threats so you might encounter turbulence at lower altitudes say 300 feet or lower.
