No guarantees when or if the receive capability has been put into IOC yet but this was in 2021 and its said it provides a fraction of the L16 capability so something is missing
Interesting
yeah but in 1v1 the Rafale has full spherical jamming while the old pods can’t jam the whole sphere, though the growler is obviously better at jamming multiple targets and protecting its allies since its literally its role
Though my take is probably stupid since the growler would precisely be meant to be used in teams
If it’s a 1v1 the growler can focus everything on the Rafale
True, anyway I’m dumb since the growler will better play in team
a growler in a dogfight doesn’t make much sense, it can’t even carry sidewinders
No, growler only better if there is a reward for jamming, otherwise it is risk for little personal gain
With how it is now, Rafale would be preferable since it can cover itself with full combat capability
I think the best is you get a reward if an enemy is killed by you or your teammate while you’re jamming him, makes the most sense imo

Maybe missiles “intercept” reward for successfully jammed launches as well

Yep! btw, which ew aircraft would you see being added? growler? prowler? raven?
Prowler since its older and has an armament unlike EF-111
It’s also on an existing airframe

I think they should add the a6 intruder with it if they added the prowler, don’t you agree?

We have the A-6, but unfortunately only as premium. I hope they add A-6E SWIP to tt with prowler though

I was thinking of foldering the ew aircrafts with their base attacker, what do you think of that?

That’s what I think will happen as well

growlers have just been rated for sidewinders and can carry AMRAAM on the intake pylons
both ALQ-99 types have forward and aft transmitters that are offset, it atleast provides 360 coverage in tandem with each other
EF-111 is my pick, at 11.0 maybe, its a perpetually clean F-111F (fast AF) that relies completely on its EW and speed to survive, would be a great introduction to EW but as ive stated before, without multicrew EW would be really really bind intensive and cluttered on the screen in ARB/GRB.
SPJs would be more desirable at the moment due to the ease of use and how they would fit into the gameplay loop rn

where do they put the aim9s? the wingtips are already taken by the analq218 pods
Adaptors for the pylons that carry HARMs
oh lol… but then no agm88s so what’s the point?
this guy doesn’t even have jamming pods
