How to use jammer?

[T_A]

Since i`m not sure anymore , can someone explain whats the correct way?

 

there are two button i understand are relevant -

 

LL - A S.A AU

BR- A M T

 

BR to power on system and LL to start actively jamming?

LL is not funstional yet.

 

The 3 point turn switch on the left VEI-[]-PCM Vei=standby and warm up (idk how long is needed to warm up), [] normal, PCM priority to jammer "Priority Counter Measures"

BR toggle T-M-A This is your jammer ... T=test,M='on',A= off { Ariet in French means 'off' }

DA toggle T-M-A This is your RWR ... T=test,M='on',A= off

 

D2A and LL and further to the right are not functional yet.

 

 

I do not know if PCM vs []"normal" have any difference in game at the moment. Please if anyone knows better please speak up. <---- Please!

 

Operational use: you'll want your jammer functions binded for easy use, don't just cruise with it 'on' because it broadcasts where you are to anyone looking in your general direction with a radar on.

 

It helps:

1. Reduces range to lockon, especially good at targets trailing you and ones you have 'notched'

2. Helps reduce probability of missile impact from a radar missile.

 

Very useful to use jammer if, used at the right times, if not its a giant "i'm HERE sign" on your plane.

 

 

For example: M2000 vs. F-15 radar in game 1.5version head-on both, jammer reduces lockon and target info range from about 52NM to about 28nm give or take Prf modes etc. Regrettably the M2000 radar picks up the F15 at about 46NM and ~12NM if F-15 has its jammer on. A tough spot to be in if you are the M2000, tough but not impossible.

 

F-15 chasing you: 17nm down to about 10-11NM

 

My advise is to go test it, with friends! Cheers!

Yes. Probably because the version modelized by Razbam also uses the Eclair control box (on the left of the cockpit) so it's WIP.

 

The 3 point turn switch on the left VEI-[]-PCM Vei=standby and warm up (idk how long is needed to warm up), [] normal, PCM priority to jammer "Priority Counter Measures"

Yes.

 

BR toggle T-M-A This is your jammer ... T=test,M='on',A= off { Ariet in French means 'off' }

It's "Arrêt" but otherwise OK.

BR electrically powers the jammer system, but do not activate jamming itself. That's the "3 point turn switch" job.

BR = M + switch = "VEI" >> normal way of flying.

BR = M + switch = "[]" (or "PCM") >> when you need jamming; return to previous state when you don't need jamming anymore.

BR = A >> when on the ground, or when you're sure you won't need jamming soon (e.g. simple navigation flight, no combat use of the aircraft).

 

DA toggle T-M-A This is your RWR ... T=test,M='on',A= off

D2A and LL and further to the right are not functional yet.

"D2M". Otherwise OK.

 

I do not know if PCM vs []"normal" have any difference in game at the moment. Please if anyone knows better please speak up. <---- Please!

No difference at the moment (it's in the manual, by the way...) and no difference planned in the future AFAIK: EW phenomena making this mode useful are not modeled in DCS.

THis is a bit of a noob question, but is the jammer the Eclair pod?

It helps:

1. Reduces range to lockon, especially good at targets trailing you and ones you have 'notched'

2. Helps reduce probability of missile impact from a radar missile.

 

I thought the use of the jammer while in the notch was counterproductive to the notch. Notch means you're trying to get filtered out by the doppler's velocity gate, so turning on your jammer would be like turning on a flashlight if you were trying to hide in a dark corner.

No the eclair pod is just for extra chaff and flare.
