Spurts Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Question for @IronMike, or anyone else on the Heatblur team. Now that the Hornet has gate pull-offs for it's ECM suite, how much work would it be to activate this functionality in the AN/ALR-126?

Now that the Hornet has gate pull-offs for it's ECM suite, how much work would it be to activate this functionality in the AN/ALR-126? Does the Hornet actually perform gate pull-offs? AFAIK AI RADARs in DCS are pretty simplified, I'd be surprised if they even have their tracking gates (they certainly don't care about type of RADAR it is). I'm not sure what the ALQ-165 is doing in the Hornet, Matt Wagner's video seemed quite promising (even if it's faking it by just breaking STTs after a set time and not actually simulating RGPO/VGPO or whatever - though I personally haven't had much luck at all, with it against ground based emitters). It would be good to have proper functionality, as well as effects on own RADAR, the issue is it would probably require a major RADAR overhaul of basically every RADAR.

Don't quote me on that though! So it's a bit hard atm to give any estimates. 2
