My Blowpipes regularly fire in 1970s campaigns against Soviet planes and helos, but then they do not get EW till later on IIRC.

You are correct, did another test, EW1 vs EW1 and the BP fired often. I also noted that against very fast jets they have a much reduced chance of firing too, makes sense. I will see if I can find some EW1 aircraft for the scenario.

**So I checked the scenario, the jets are EW0 that I am using, so it must be the terrain, but not sure as the BP has a pretty long LOS**
