No not true. MAWS is common on more modern aircraft while it is rare for aircraft to have IRCM. They are not one and the same.
You have to show some proof that it is mounted on the A-10C, we can’t take your word or an AI’s word for it. Either documentation or pictures showing it, but I already had done the research years ago and it doesn’t have this.
In-game it already has the automated response logic linking maws to dispensers. You just need to turn it on with a keybind. And there is no proof of this inclusion of the jammers.
Then you or I’d be able to find documentation talking of it. Either magazines or government documents, but neither one says anything. So where did you get your information? Your local buddy or an AI bot?
The Tornado uses external pods (like the BOZ series) for its countermeasures. The A-10C features an internally integrated system (AN/AAR-47 + AN/ALE-47) specifically designed for low-altitude, high-threat CAS environments
I cant find no reference online anywhere of this being fitted to any fixed wing aircraft other than a modified version for Hercules. It appears to be almost exclusively used for Helis.
Do you have any sources that it was fitted to the A-10? Documents etc ?
Fun fact, A-10C’s maws might be overperforming because I can’t find anything that shows it should have countermeasure fusion like the Rafale or EFT where it should drop either flares or chaff depending on the type of threats. Rafale and EFT’s maws are linked to the RWR for this capability, but nothing says anything like that for the A-10C.
Actually the MAWS is provided by TERMA not BOZ. But that was not the connection I was talking about. I was talking about all-aspect MAWS being fully modeled in-game with automatic CM release on threat detection
Which might be wrong in the first place and MAWS should just dump CMs
being new to the forums, hes hit his daily posting limit, in DMs hes now purely talking about the ALQ-144 DIRCM jammer, but still no sources proving it was ever fitted to the A-10
