TBear Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 When i put the ECM knob in XMT mode it means that it continously broadcast, or it just reacts to enemy locks or hard menaces?

HoneyBadger Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Wording in the manual isn't 100% clear but I believe it does only emit when a threat is detected: "XMIT. System detects and displays threats and then uses active electronic attack."

MrDieing Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 ECM is not implemented yet in this version of EA. ''Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.'' Erich Fromm
HoneyBadger Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 There's no keybindings. You select the ECM modes with a knob behind the stick: Main 3 modes are: STBY: Standby. ECM is on but not functioning REC: ECM will detect threats but not emit XMIT (as said before): Will (I believe) emit only when it detects a threat
HoneyBadger Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 ECM is not implemented yet in this version of EA. Wait, the ECM isn't functioning at all yet? I really wish the manual would say these things.

Nightwolf Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 So when it is implemented, it is a smart ECM system that detects radars, and jams when it detects it should. It's not implemented yet though. There is a section on the ECM in RedKite's countermeasures systems video on youtube. "Fighter pilots have ice in their veins. They don't have emotions. They think, anticipate. They know that fear and other concerns cloud your mind from what's going on and what you should be involved in." -Buzz Aldrin
Grodin Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Hope they will add keybinds later, its the only keybind i was unable to find so far. Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
probad Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I really wish the manual would say these things. the manual isn't some kind of wiki that is updated on the fly, expect information to be not completely up to date. for example, when they wrote the manual it's fairly obvious they werent expecting the aim-7 to make it into ea. i find it logical that something as complicated and relatively non-missioncritical as ecm would not take development priority over more core systems like radar, iff, and tgp that are already competing for development time.

jason_peters Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Given it will be silent until a threat is detected is there any time you would not have it turned on when in hostile air space IRL --------- System: i7-8700k @ 4.9GHz; Nvidia RTX 2080ti; 32GB (2 x 16) DDR4 @ 3333Mz Ram; ASUS ROG Strix z370-E; SSD Drive; Oculus Rift-S; Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog
Ventus_Clu Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 yes, before you have been detected, otherwise you will give away your position and/or presence, additionally some weapons have "home on jam" feature which will zone in on your singnals.
RShackleford Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 yes, before you have been detected, otherwise you will give away your position and/or presence, additionally some weapons have "home on jam" feature which will zone in on your singnals. Depends on the type of jamming. Continuous noise jamming sure, but if it uses deception techniques (would be amazing if this was modeled) then you really want to be using it at all times.
Gabi_tro Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Does ECM work by now? I am new to dcs and i can t tell. There are no lindicators lighting up when I turn it on
Kirkey_badgers Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Does ECM work by now? I am new to dcs and i can t tell. There are no lindicators lighting up when I turn it on I believe it would say on the EW page under the "ASPJ" heading, don't think it's been released yet.

tech_op2000 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 ED, can you add keybinds for the ecm switch. I know it isn't implemented yet but key bindings for the sake of pretending to use it would be something. Thanks. Keep up the good work!
