BreaKKer Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Had this on my mind for the past week or so, and realized it wasn't on the roadmap. Seeing as how it is a late development part of the F-14, I'm sure there isn't the largest amount of information about it. For those unaware, "The [Expanded Chaff Adapter] ECA is placed in the position of the LAU-93 missile launcher (usually used for the AIM-54 missile or bomb racks) and can carry an extra pack of chaff and flare decoys. These additional chaffs and flares are used for self protection on especially critical missions such as a TARPS flights over enemy terrain. It is commonly used in addition to the AN/ALQ-167 ECM Pod."If this could potentially make it in with the TARPS whenever that is added, that would be awesome Edited September 30, 2021 by BreaKKer 1 BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_dalan Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I'm guessing those would come with the TARPS pod?

They can be put on the Phoenix rails without the TARPs being there, if that makes sense 1 BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_dalan Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Possibly. Don't know how the wiring works for that thing and how it hooks up with the rest of the systems. I mean DCS implementation wise though. I guess HB will implement it as part of the TARPS.

It’s not a part of the TARPs pod itself, snd is independent from it BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naquaii Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) If we do this it'll likely be at the same time as an eventual TARPS pod. Even if possible to use without the TARPS most, if not all, photos I've seen of it is with the TARPS. Probably because you'd likely not want to sacrifice a fuselage rail just for this on other missions or that it wasn't felt like the additional chaff was needed. From what I recall it was activated via the normal stores release button as it was loaded on a weapons rail but I could be wrong.

I’d guess not, since the EW model in DCS is basically non existent. Not sure how it would add onto the ALQ-126 internally BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
