HARM

[Eldur]

Well that's weird, because it's the exact opposite for me. :huh:

I grew up with learning that Monday is the start of the week and all calenders I've seen start the week on Monday (including the MS Outlook calendar).

 

It's usually US calendars that are from Sunday till Saturday in my experience. British ones start on Monday just like in Germany.

 

I know how it works IRL, but I wonder how it will work in DCS?

 

If it was on a HB module, I'd expect it to work - the Viggen radar can pick up planes...

SAM`s prapare for payback tomorrow....Im comming with HARM`s on my Honet.:pilotfly:

Wags has confirmed it in his video, January 16th is HARM-day.

[Vitormouraa]

HARM is apparently using old 3D model and textures? :(

[Kayos]

So if you can switch through the SAM's with the i key, which key is it that will make it select the immediate threat? I swear I heard there is a key for that too.

I think Wags wrote that it was the 'reset' button on the Harm DDI page.

Anyone else having trouble firing just one AGM-88? Even with a very quick press of the pickle button I still sometimes have two missiles leave the rails.

No, but i've been holding it until it leaves the pylon.

Weird, I swear that's what I tried the first time and two left the rails on me, hence trying shorter presses after that. Trying normal long presses seems to work just fine, so never mind then :doh:

Also u can fire harm, when you are flying away from target. Won't hit of course, but is harm different in the comms with the jet systems ?

So forgive my newbishness but it's not possible to do SEAD without the HARM and not risk/guarantee losing the aircraft right? At least in the stable version of the F/A-18?

The stable version does also have the HARM, you can always try to drop bombs, shoot mavericks or guide some Laser Guided Bombs in with the help of a JTAC. But all of these are much shorter range and put you into the 8) Danger Zone 8)

SEAD/DEAD is not defined by the weapon used.

 

HARM is a great tool, but not the only tool. It's actually, historically, very poor at killing things if you look at it in terms of how many launched vs how many actually hit something. But it is an effective suppression weapon because SAM operators have to respect the threat and turn off their emitters and/or not leave them emitting continually.

 

So it's quite common to use HARM to suppress a site, and then other bombs/missiles (Rockeye and Maverick were choice weapons of SEAD crews during the first Gulf War) used to actually destroy the launchers/logistics/RADAR (if the HARM didn't actually connect with it)

 

The F Maverick in the Hornet can be effectively used at 6+ miles if you are good at it, which is far enough to kill most of the SHORAD in game (SA8/SA19/SA15/Shilkas/etc, be aware: some of those SAMs can shoot down HARM and Mavericks)

I only asked cause I was arming my plane and didn't see the option to put harms on in the missiles menu and it seems like a suicide mission having to fly directly overhead to drop a bomb on a site. Also I haven't figured out how to shoot the maverick cause the hornet doesn't have the laser pod yet. Thanks for your replies.

HARMS are AGM-88C in missiles re-arming window.

With the help of JTAC you can use AGM-65E Laser Mavericks

:thumbup:.

thanks dumb newbie error i was just looking for a missile called HARM You guys are the best

[KittyVCAW-1]

HI I'm back. So I'm trying to learn how to use this weapon. I set up a EWR 1L13 unit on the russian border and flew to it. I can see the icon for the emitter on the EW page. I send that to my hud and I can see the line pointing to the emitter but the icon is not at the end of the line and I can't box it to fire the missile at it. I can however box up what I assume is the carrier I have steaming out in the black sea. Are you not able to fire HARMS at the EWR 1L13? Thanks. EDIT* so it seems this weapon is effective against search and tracking radars but not against early warning units as I can lock on to all of them besides the EWR. So either this isn't finished yet, it is bugged, or you are not able to home in on EWR type emitters at all with AGM-88C.

Right now we can only say with confidence that HARM SP mode for sometime this month. However, this is our best estimate and not a promise. HARM, JDAM, JSOW, and datalink/SA page are all very complex systems to develop and test.

 

 

Ah come on Matt, must not be that complicated, pretty much all games like Battlefield and such has them, just copy/paste their codes :P Kidding, keep up the good works, after all, with the so many systems in the Hornet, rather it takes you guys time to came up with them, if not, we'd have shit load of things to learn at the same time, now at least we can learn little by little :P Better this way for my « Getting out of RAM » brain :) :pilotfly:

I actually agree with this approach. I have actually done better with how the Hornets systems the way they have been implemented into the module. Almost like building blocks. My biggest issue seems to be able to transition from A2G to A2A mode. More of a mind thing though. :D Bottom line is great work ED! :thumbup:
