WelshZeCorgi Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Is it easier to break spikes with the jammer on? So if I was defending a fox 1, and I go to the notch, would doing so with the jammer on be more effective than with the jammer off?
falcon_120 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Good question, I'm curious to know how it is implemented in DCS.
dundun92 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 As a TLDR, for missiles on the old chaff model, ECM tends to increase missile Pk. This is especially noticable on SARH missiles, as now notching the carrier doesnt work, itll just HOJ. But it doesnt have any direct effect on chaff afaik. For missiles on the new chaff model (AIM-120/SD-10), its a bit undecided. Ive seen tests showing a decrease in Pk, but this was from before the reduction in ccm resistance. From the tests ive done recently, ECM means that a chaffed missile can still reacquire. So again, increase in Pk. So overall for A2A ECM is pretty useless in terms of defeating missiles.

Yes, in terms of defeating missiles. It can be useful to deny range information and IFF to the enemy beyond burn through range (currently works only against some fighters, especially the FC3 fighters, as others like the F-16 and F-14 don't have jamming effects yet).
