U22/A Modes

[LazyBoot]

Has anyone done any testing on what modes work best on the jammer pod?

The "Viggen Warfare" kneeboard set lists this

 

but does anyone know what difference the different modes actually has?

[QuiGon]

Only the first column is relevant to DCS, as those are the four "master modes" of the jammer pod. The bands are irrelevant as DCS doesn't simulate them.

I's been a while since I last flew the Viggen, but this summary was correct back then:

While a nice document, it doesn't really say much on the jammer outside of recording... I'm also somewhat interested in the jamming abilities

Yeah, sorry .. I never used the Jammer on my missions, as it took up a valuable pylon ... that's why I used the Pod only on Elint missions, for other missions I relied only on the RWR to elude radars pasively, rather than attempting to jam them

@LazyBootThis is what the RC2 manual reads:

Quote

Active jamming modes B/F- E/K
Pods will automatically emit when illuminated by a radar from the frontal aspect.

 

I'm pretty sure the Viggen module jamming function looks like this: if ( ecmMode in {b,d,e} && (ecmBand in {f,g,h,j,k} ) then jamming=true;

It would be sweet to have confirmation from the Heatblur crew.

I answered that above already.

In other words:

Off = Off

Pre-Heat = Warmup

Silent Recording = ELINT

Active Emission = Jamming

 

Bands don't matter as I said above.

 

 

@Flappie Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how the code looks like.

Manual seems to suggest that the band selector will have some impact on sensitivity though (at least for recording)

Test it .. do a quick mission against a SAM unit and check if the band makes any difference.

Only in real life. DCS doesn't simulate radar bands.
