Also, not just any Stinger nah…
The ATAS/Stinger from the Tiger Helicopter xD
Lmao, so Mighty mouse and ATAS for EF-2000 exclusive xD
Community Bug Reporting System Hopefully this can be of some help to build a more realistic VWS

Is it possible to leave the comments open on that one incase anyone finds any more or would we just be better making a second report that you can link internally?
Just give me a poke if you find more.

was the radar changed again? it somehow feels worse again, looking at TWS tracking per example.
No changes since the TWS timeout fix.
The TRD is an active emitter.
It will jam the incoming missile to make it seem like it is the only target.

bruh great link there from 4 adventure being unavailable ‘in this country’
That only works if it’s trying to home-on-jam
… We’re talking about the eurofighters decoy bruh quit false flagging posts
Ummm…no. Another unsourced opinion I see. It’s something of a habit when it comes to the Typhoon isn’t it?
Jamming isn’t just a case of making lots of EW noise and hoping it works. You CAN do that - but it’s inefficient and has every chance of negating your own sensors as anything else.
True jamming will detect the characteristics of the incoming sensor on the missile and create an appropriate counter-signature that exceeds that of the platform you are trying to protect. You can make a bigger signature, you can add a delay to the return to make it look like you are flying faster/slower/higher/further away. You can even make your jet look like it’s something else if you are feeling really sneaky - since a radar only has the electronic signal to identify what it is looking at.
All things that spoof an accurate return signal to the radar and/or missile seeker or both. The decoy just adds another layer to the existing system; the basic concept has been in use on land and sea systems for a while.
Soooo… to recap the scenario. Evil Delta Wing Typhoon that you hate so much gets painted by an incoming missile’s radar.
Evil Delta Wing Typhoon that you hate so much deploys the towed decoy.
Because the aforementioned Evil Delta-Winged Typhoon has lots of sensors that hoover up precisely the kind of information that is useful - it relays that to the decoy. The decoy then begins doing it’s thing.
You see it’s simple, they spent a lot of time making the Typhoon rather clever at this sort of thing. They didn’t consult you of course, or check you agreed with their design decisions. That’s why they build the Typhoon and you sit on an internet forum arguing the toss with anyone and everyone that it shouldn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t do this or that.
Simples!

The feature doesn’t even exist yet, and MiG_23M is already trying to nerf it, huh?

ECCM
Appeal to authority =/= valid argument
AESA radar seeker and multiseeker designs go brrr
can you elaborate on multiseekr designs? never heard of them before
Multiple seekers on the same missile such as infrared + radar at the same time.

TRD on Tornado already performed very well over Bosnia;

do any US aircraft have similar systems?
edit: there are two but only the AN/ALE-50 is on any aircraft ingame (F-16C)
how does it compare to the EFT one?
Makes the missile bigger and heavier though, you could upload a target library like with Cruisemissiles (Stormshadow etc)
It really depends of the efficacy of TRDs and ECCM against modern contemporaries.
