HARMs damaging ship radars.

[Ironwulf]

HARMs do very little damage to ships - even real life, but in dense arrays of antennae, it could lay waste to EW systems. Can this please be modelled?

There isn no dammage modelling for sub systems of vehicles.

AFAIK it is planned to implement sub system dammage for vehicles as part of the new dammage model, but this will probably take some years, as vehicles are the last part of the new dammage model. First will be WW2 aircraft, then modern aircraft, then vehicles.

Not to mention that but pretty much all of the naval assets are outdated by comparison or are at least in need of some reworking (incl. the Chinese Asset Pack ships).

 

AFAIK HARM's don't even track antennae (when they should).

Indeed, they track the center of the vehicle.

HARM is a passive tracker, it cannot track a physical centre of any vehicle, it homes onto the emitter energy only. (Real world)

Yeah IRL, but as I said: Vehicle sub systems are not modeled in DCS, hence the HARM tracks the centre of the vehicle, just like any missile does in DCS.

This is a wishlist, not a bug report. ;)

At least the air defences on the Stennis seem to be modelled as own sub systems, as they are destroyable without sinking the ship itself.

Really? I didn't know the DCS engine does already support such functions for AI/ground units. Interesting...

HARMs would impact into ship's centroid, not into ship's radar

 

As described. When launching HARMs to sea targets, it'll conveniently impact the target in a generic centroid, not into the ship's radar.
