No reason to add some dank flashy YOU ARE FUCKING LOCKED ON, would get too easy. Also I have no issues noticing the lock-on warning/sound.
It's actually your passive radar detecting any active radar in your vicinity, and once you are lit by a radar array, you get a signal that you've been locked by a radar, IFF determines if it is an ally radar (no warning) or an enemy radar (warning), and you are also warned once a Air to Air missile is directed towards you.
