Klunker Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Is the AN/ALQ-164 jamming pod on the AV8 operational in the DCS game? If so, what SAM's does it work against, and at what range? I tried it against the SA-6 (the pocket guide said the jammer is effective against the SA 6) and it did not appear to prevent the SAM from guiding on me at any range.

I tried it against the SA-6 (the pocket guide said the jammer is effective against the SA 6) and it did not appear to prevent the SAM from guiding on me at any range. The way jammers work in DCS is that they reduce SAMs and AIMs operational range, but once they achieve burnthrough they will guide.

So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."
