So I’ve been loving the HARM gameplay with France, USA and Israel and was only made aware recently of the ESM on my F18 and M2k but I find it pretty bad to use and awfully slow even more so when compared to prems Su30s that work instantly, am I doing something wrong with NATO ESMs or have they just bad according to the game?
I will add there that I’m not an expert in how they should perform (it do be weird to me the night and day difference between pact and nato so I hope I’m doing smth wrong).
Those planes just use the harm missile seeker as scan, not using RWR for ESM like l-150 or chinese planes. Though most of toptier planes should get that as an option aswell but for stuff like m2k you are stuck with just the missile seeker
Yeah , its really stupid. You would think they would make it the same for everyone, but its pretty much only the L-150 that behaves like ESM.
Hell, aren’t most NATO RWR systems more advanced? Don’t they top the L-150 in most aspects?
Seems wierd to give passive insta-refresh to only 1-2 RWR systems out of the multitude present in-game.

Not really. Only really rank 9 RWRs would have the capabilities outside of dedicated electronic attack planes
The M2k doesn’t have a native ESM irl?
I would assume the same, I’m used to call for bias and yet again it sounds like it is
