REQUEST for : command - aircraft invisible to unit XY (To simulate jamming)

[Spearzone]

I would like to add a request for a new command to make a unit invisible to a specific other unit.

 

 

This would be a huge step forward to create missions with simulated EW / Jamming features.

 

 

 

 

At this point we can only select :

"Perform command - INVISIBLE"

Which makes a unit invisible to all sensors of the opposing force.

 

 

So if you create a jamming script using this feature your aircraft would get invisible to all enemy units (including aircraft) and not only to the unit you are jamming.

 

I'd like to request a feature like :

"Perform command - INVISIBLE to unit XY)

 

This would enable us to script or simulate a bit of EW / JAMMING much more realistically.

 

JUST AN EXAMPLE :

LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A SCRIPTED SELF PROTECTION JAMMER, ABLE TO JAM SA-2/3/6 but not SA-8/10/11.

YOU FLY INTO A ZONE WHERE YOU HAVE TWO SA-3s called SA3#1 and SA3#2 AND a SA-8 called SA8#1.

When the SA-3s are into your jammers' range you could do :

perform command - invisible to SA3#1 , perform command - invisible to SA3#2 (using probabilities depending on range). This way the SA-3s are "jammed" while the SA-8 could this see you.

If you are flying into burnthrough range of SA3#1 you could remove the invisible to SA3#1 command , while your unit would remain invisible to SA3#2 cause it's still jammed.

 

 

Using todays limited invisible option your unit gets invisible to all other units including the SAMs you would most probably not being able to JAM and enemy aircraft.

Another option is to turn the SAMs radar on/off or toggle it's alarm state, but the problem with these options is that it will have impact on the detection of all other units aswell , not only the one you are trying to hide by jamming.

 

To anyone interested in simulating an IADS including command centers / power sources / connection nodes / awacs and early warning implementation I would highly recommend to take a look at flywaldairs SKYET IADS script which is a great script under constant development :
