RyukoSoan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Did really no one thought that ECM is important ? Some features on the roadmap are not even that important.. seeing that useless ECM panel on my plane hurts me hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundun92 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 AFAIK its still planned. But you also have to consider DCS EW is very poor; as an example neither the F-16 or F-18 radars are effected by ECM. Perhaps ED just doesnt think its worth spending time to add an ECM that has little to no effect on gamplay (not until it gets some kind of update anyway)? Eagle Enthusiast, Fresco Fan.

So just to clarify - FA18's have the disadvantage of not being able to use ECM - but the advantage of ECM not affecting them either? ... asking for a friend. :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true for both the Viper and Hornet right now, yes. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

cauldron Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Nineline forum survey request on a very much related topic: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=284601 Why this Community survey, which is still active btw - so go vote, is buried on the nth page of a sub-forum is beyond me, but it is what it is.

QuiGon Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) AFAIK its still planned. But you also have to consider DCS EW is very poor; as an example neither the F-16 or F-18 radars are effected by ECM. Perhaps ED just doesnt think its worth spending time to add an ECM that has little to no effect on gamplay (not until it gets some kind of update anyway)? It does have quiet an impact on gameplay (in multiplayer at least) and with the F-16, F/A-18 and F-14 being immune to jamming having an unfair and unrealistic advantage! :( Edited September 15, 2020 by QuiGon Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

F16FLCS-SME Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The ECM light does not come on during MAL & IND LTS test. Is it a bug or just because the system is not simulated? Or maybe that specific light is not part of the light test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
