You too can make suggestions about additions to the game in air/ground/naval sections. Just because someone makes a suggestion about a certain part of the game doesn’t mean it will be added immediately or make other game modes irrelevant for a patch. In the incoming patch there will be ray tracing and some other stuff which will benefit the ground mostly, there’s also a reworked map specifically for the tank battles. Not only that, every major patch brings new stuff to all branches be it a new game mechanic or a vehicle.
Hello, it seems like developers removed the C/D band receiving capabilities from the APR-39. And i get it, APR-39 and ALR-56 use the omnidirectional antennas for the C/D bands. But they still should display low band threats from all directions in front at 12 o’clock. Will you add this capability back?
Sounds more like a full defensive suite than just ECM
First 2 are usually done by RWR.
3rd and 5th is IRCM that is already in-game on the SU-39. Would be highly specific to the ECM pod and not general to all. I dont think any Western jet has that kind IRCM (at least none Ive heard of)
6th is Sensor fusion
last is a decoy
Only one is what Id actually call “ECM”
is good for British used ECMs and how they function
Still not a standalone ECM pod though, its the entire defensive suite (Something akin to DASS on the Typhoon) mounted externally.
More common pods like Sky Shadow or AN/ALQ-101 would be purely radar jamming, which is what we’d see with the addition of ECM & EW to the game and what Thodin is probably thinking of
(not saying the Su-34 wouldnt get ECM, just that its situation is different to “normal” ECM set ups for a lot of aircraft and different again to those like the Typhoon and Gripen with intergrated ECM)
Purpose
The “Satellite-M2” radio-electronic protection system is designed to protect aircraft from being hit by high-precision, radio-guided weapons air-to-air missiles (AAMs) and surface-to-air missile systems (SAMs) operating in the 4.0–18.0 GHz frequency range, both from the front and rear hemispheres.
Advantages
Greatly reduces the probability of the carrier aircraft being struck by radio-guided enemy weapons.
Provides radar camouflage: the enemy’s radar cannot detect the fact that the aircraft is emitting interference.
Expands the combat capabilities of attacking aircraft by reducing their vulnerability.
Forms jamming effects at all stages of combat operation for radar systems with quick parameter retuning (including polarization and frequency).
Provides protection while maintaining compatibility with the aircraft’s onboard radio systems.
Fully autonomous operation that does not hinder completion of combat missions.
Uses modern digital electronics and lightweight components to expand capabilities and reduce power consumption.
Built on a modular block principle, allowing reconfiguration per customer and operational theater requirements.
Has low weight and compact dimensions.
Uses advanced methods of coherent cross-polarization jamming, breaking lock of missile guidance radars with circular/linear polarization.
Employs DRFM technology, forming deceptive and complex modulated signals to hinder monopulse tracking.
Capable of creating false radar targets and noise masks for air- and ground-based radars (e.g., AN/ALQ-187, AN/ALQ-218, “Khibiny”).
Operates automatically, can simultaneously counter multiple threats.
don’t have weight data for those 2 specifically (far too modern/not disclosed) but i can probably get data for the older l175 ecm containers as theyre over 20 years old
Sounds an awful lot like the Su-34 shouldnt have RWR in-game atm, seeing as its missing the pods that carry its RWR sensors in exchange for 2 wingtip R-73’s
