Noctrach Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I was wondering if there's a particular reason for the choice of available chaff programs for Jester? For missile evasion in DCS it's best to dump between 6-8 bundles of chaff in a reasonable short timespan while at the same time weaving through the notch. Jester's default setting (single) and most of the programs have a long delay, which makes saturation far from ideal. I've been finding the 2*0.12, 4x4 to work pretty well, but I find the rest of them to have flaws making them pretty ineffective. Most of them have either very long delays between chaff releases, or release chaff in such a volume that Jester will burn through the entire supply in a very short amount of time. This is exacerbated by the fact that he continues running the program without interruption as long as any missile is spiking the RWR, even long after a missile has been defeated. (You know how they are, especially in multipalyer...) I think it's safe to say that improving this would be an extremely non-trivial change to his AI, so if at all possible I'd like to see some more "DCS-ized" chaff programming options.
