yeah, theyll be tricky but not uncounterable.
as for ECM, i think itll be hard to model since to my knowlege there isnt much info out there about them in general as far as specs go. the only thing i know for sure is that the AESA radar of an aircraft is generally more powerfull than seperate ECM systems, which is why the F-22 and F-35 ECM are really good at jamming stuff.
There would also be also air craft that aren’t top-tier that would benefit from jamming being modeled.
For example the Mig21 with its countermeasure dispenser / jammer
Yeah, but I had all 3 Typhoons in my team. British, Italian and German. And I am without Typhoon :=(
yeah, bunch of F-4 can get some form of ECM too iirc, i hope they add the F-4G soon
So the f111
oh no, the EF-111 didnt have any weapons iirc, unless you mean the F-111A/F had ECM?
The f111 can carry jamming pods.
They did that over Vietnam on bombing missions afaik
I really doubt this game has the functionality to offer even the most basic of ECM simulation. Even DCS has to settle for a greatly simplified rendition of it.
PIRATE is not yet confirmed for our tranche 4 aircraft.
Currently only IPA 7 in germany would come as an aircraft with AMK and PIRATE. And would propably the last airframe in our tree.
Since tranche 4 and 5 are still long way away
Find something in 4 bar. Dots are enough, focus on it in 2 bar narrow. It works well but usually you are limited in engaging 2 targets at best. Usually one only.
So we end up in same scenario where micas range is significantly less than its opposition.
@Gunjob have any other radar changes hit dev other that the TWS issue or is the rest of the thing still garbage?
TWS fixed, number of total TWS tracks increased, other than that its Blue Vixen with increased tracking range, my experience with Blue Vixen and PS-05A has been great what do you mean garbage?
The TWS seems to just lock onto things that don’t exist in the air the HMD mode refuses to lock in head on scenarios. It’s about as a slow as snail. Missing ground modes. It’s current implementation makes it radar perform worse than some sets from the 70s/80s hell its radar is currently worse than the aircraft it replaced the tornado F.3 and its fox hunter.
Nah, its garbage… Stuff from 70s in US TT is better than this thing. Especially when bar repeating bug is still present. If they could atleast fix that BS bug but nooo… It was reported months ago and its still in.
well after using it for the past hour, the TWS clearly hasn’t been fixed, it still says that targets are locked in one spot unless I use 20x6 scope
It’s awful I don’t know how they thought tagging as advanced radar in the devblog and gave us this slop that’s worse than stuff decades before it.
