SgtPappy Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I noticed that both in MP and SP, the ALQ-126 is a unique jammer (talking only within DCS for obvious reasons). Locking onto a jammer strobe gives momentary lockon to the F-14A/B but then the lock is quickly broken at > burn through range. Once burn through is achieved, it appears one can lock on to the F-14A/B but firing an AIM-7MH or R-27R at it forces the AIM-7/R-27R (but not the attacking radar) to lose and regain lock even < 10 nm. See attached track files below and video link during a MP duel here. Hard to tell, but I was in the F-15 here and maintained lock on the F-14B the whole time. More often than not, maneuvering side to side in the F-14A/B with jammer on transmit + chaff is enough to defeat the AIM-7s completely to even within 5 nm as my second AIM-7 didn't even track. I do not own the Hornet but am curious if it has the same effect using its jammer or when being jammed by the F-14. AFAIK, no other jammer does this so my question is this intended or is it a bug? Either way, it's really interesting!
