Igneous01 Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 I'm wondering how realistic this could be. If you take the existing Ka-50 platform in game, could you somehow be able to retrofit an ECM pod that could be turned on through the cockpit? I'm imagining a scenario where a squadron of music jamming Ka-50s secretly fly behind enemy lines towards a SAM site, and on a command signal, all would fly above the terrain with music on, from different locations, to overwhelm and confuse the enemy SAM system. Then a SEAD strike package would be flown in to destroy the radar systems. The theory here being that a strong local radar transmission will trick the radar computer systems into prioritizing the ka-50s as the highest priority threat. This would in theory give the strike package some breathing room as the enemy will be too distracted to search/track/engage the strike package from maximum range. Would it be possible to script this in DCS? I've never heard of the ability to fit weapons from a different airframe onto the ka-50 without mods, which I want to avoid.
