watch them not give the F14 ECM even tho it has it
If a radar is locked on a target on x azimuth, y elevation and z range, it’s going to ignore all radar contacts that don’t have these parameters. RGPO changes the range the radar sees, so the radar is now locked onto a point in space with nothing in it; if the fake range is far away and rgpo stops, the radar will try to maintain lock onto a empty point in space with nothing in it and fail, thus breaking lock and forcing the radar to restart search for the target again.
You can see how this can be really annoying for radars with fox-1 missiles that need to maintain lock, although against radars with tws you might want to keep it on to avoid being targeted in the first place or to trick the enemy radar into lofting a fox 3 missile away from you. It’s also mostly useless if you are within visual/acm range, as the enemy can see where you are anyway and relock you instantly and/or get a lock to launch their IR missiles.

Some jammers only work well concerning positions where there located like GPS spoofing
Would benefit visual range combat and optical sensors. One of the fears from a friend in aerospace is if electronic jammers get so good it could weaken stealth fighters as you do need to hit the enemy therefore cheaper planes like 4.5 become more economical. But that’s overall unlikely.
I have a feeling Jamming will be very simplified in WT like noise modulated jamming, range jamming (for naval and what not) etc.
maybe but it could end up like DIRCM did and be completely broken
i give it 60% of being op
