ALQ-165(V) works with the F14, F18, and F16 for starters. AN/ALQ-165 Airborne Self Protection Jammer (ASPJ) Actually works with the F16A so I mis-spoke on that one. going to correct it now. " ASPJ entered FSD in 1979 and LRIP in 1989. Five OT&E phases were conducted with ASPJ FSD systems in 1988 and 1989. Flight testing on DoD electronic warfare (EW) ranges was in the F/A-18A and F-16A. Key performance criteria for effectiveness and suitability were not met and the FSD systems were not considered production representative. In 1990 the DAB agreed to revised ASPJ effectiveness measures. The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated these measures in August 1991, and USD(Acquisition) approved the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) incorporating them in December 1991."
Correct, I should have been more specific. But this could be the kind of boost that the UK tree needs along with it getting the F18 and EF Typhoon.
Also I found out the J10 has the ability to run an internal ECM so it was added to the list. In an upgrade program they could be outfitted with the KL-700
I posted it. The earliest model it was tested with is the F16A with the ALQ-165(V). A newer model was implemented in 1991 that is even better and from there only goes up. So essentially any of them can run it.
“In late FY95 an Air Force F-16 was shot down over Bosnia by a SAM. The operational commander urgently requested deployment of a developmental self protection system to improve survivability of F-16s and F/A-18C/Ds in the Bosnian theater of operations. Although successfully integrated on the F-16 and immediately available in limited numbers, the requested system was not compatible with the F/A-18C/D. The only system rapidly available to improve F/A-18C/D survivability against the threat of interest was the ASPJ. Contingency F/A-18C/D deployments continued as F-14D deployments began, resulting in potentially competing demands in the near term for available ASPJ systems.”
The F18 got something better “The F/A-18C/D with ASPJ was demonstrated during the FY92 OPEVAL, and since, to be more effective against selected modern threats than the F/A-18C/D with the AN/ALQ-126B. During the 4QFY95 shore based deployment which was evaluated, the suitability of ASPJ was adequate for the requirements placed on it during the contingency operations.”
Considering I posted this in the “Aircraft” portion of the forums, it seems the appropriate place to discuss this. The cases of updates to the Ground and Naval modes of the game should likely go into those sections.
doesnt matter realy where you posted it. Its still a valid opinion that air section of the game was the main focus point for a good while now, hell even the freaking introduction of rank 8 ground was more air focused.
Its a fact we could do with an update that isnt air focused. You are demanding and demanding for the newest toys while completly forgetting the other game modes.
Do you know what would be a way better addition next patch then ECM? Regenerative steering for tanks. Air as of right now does not need another air focused update specialy after it just got the fox 3 update.
The fact as well that you tried to make me “shut up” with its not the ground section jesus thats entitlement
Which nation did I leave out? I even suggested this because the UK tree has suffered long enough and this would be a huge boost to their line up. The UK will most likely get the CF18 (It should) and with internal ECM it would allow them to be a part of the Top Meta. This also applies to all nations that get the EF Typhoon. Its a way to bring everyone up to top tier.
Because you are in the Air section of the forums, a place to discuss and present the next iterations that Air should see. If you have a gripe with overall features, they literally have a thread for that in the next update that covers everything. I put this in an air specific forum for discussion. If you are concerned you are being left out then it goes here: Next patch and beyond wishlist(Everything except Tech Trees) - #756 by someweirdname
The development teams are separate in air, ground, and naval. Efforts spent on air this patch does not detract from efforts spent on ground this patch as Smin has explained. If anything, more priority on aircraft ECM would take away from other aircraft stuff. Nothing to do with ground.
Please read my other posts, including the link I posted which states how the F18C/D got upgraded internal ECM during the Bosnian war separate from the F16 & F14s. One that was implemented with the F4 Phantom as well.
The IDECM program for the F18 E/F originally was required to be backward compatible with the ASDJ systems. However they found it too expensive to run multiple systems, so they developed a better all in one system. Easier on maint, and less costly than running both.
I would need to do some digging on the A10-A. Older versions may very well not be compatible. I know the Mig-29A can’t do it but the Mig-29SMT can. I also know the SU-27 is noted as not being able to do it, but the SU-27SM kind of can.
You can just say Mirage 2000’s, since all versions had an internal suite of ECM which includes jamming. This goes for Mirage 2000C, Mirage 2000D, and Mirage 2000-5F. The name of the suite is called ICMS (Integrated Countermeasures System)
You can include the Rafale in the list, it has SPECTRA suite.
I think the A-10A only has the external pod, no internal ECM. I cannot find even a retrofit with it. At least not yet. Maybe after work I can more hard digging. Not that it would matter with its insane hardpoint count.
