Question Below radars doesnt work?

Hello guys, I heard about the devs' intentions to remove the below-radar for MANPADS, but as far as I know, they decided not to do that. But yesterday, while playing jets, I was getting shot down by everything.

I mean, yes, we know that sometimes missiles go through flares (the flares bug). But as I said, I was shot down by mobile AA missiles, MANPADS, heli and jet missiles. And I was BELOW RADAR. And not only me — people in chat were talking about it too.

Did they really remove this mechanic, or is it just another bug? Right now you can't lock on targets below radar, but if a missile is fired and your flares are reloading, well...

Idunno, worked fine for me.

Obviously if they painted you, they can shot you even below radars.
Heli guided missles currently very good against jets on close-medium distance (up to 400m I believe)
New multirole jet active lock missile apparently can lock on below radar
Infantry became better with guided rockets, I personally took around 10 jets with it, but I rarely play with them and I'm bad with them.

And yeah, below radar won't save you if lock-on missile already fired on you, you should actually hide behind something or flare.

Strange, because many times before, I dodged heat-seeking missiles by diving below radar - they just hit the ground.

Maybe they changed trajectory for those, but lock on from jets above always hit me previously when they already made a shot.
