Usefull Custom Countermeasure Profile Presets

[Timster76]

Cheers fellow pilots,

I recently stumbled accross this video and like to create my own countermeasures presets for the Harrier. Do you have any good recommendations?

Have a look at DiCE - DCS Countermeasure Editor https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/3312680/
It make the creation of  a countermeasure preset much easier.

I use for flare an interval of 2 seconds and numbers 10. This gives me safety when I'm in a attack run.

My usual setup - Chaff: BQ 3 BI 0.3 SQ 2 SI 1 (or just 1 salvo with 6 rounds and 0.3 sec interval, and I usually load 4 blocks of chaff if I'm going to be flying around SAMs), and for Flares: BQ 4 or 6 and BI 1 second for "P" mode (to prevent overspending, just remember to repeat release command during the attack. If you see a launch, you can quickly press flare release a few times, each press will release a flare and the last press will release a full program (well, each press commands a program, but previous ones get overridden by subsequent ones)). Sometimes, when I'm sure I'll be under IR missile attack, I use "G" release mode, which releases your program from each dispenser filled with flares (so, in default loadout - 4 flares per burst).

@Aernovdo you have an overview about the different dispenser release mode? In Chuck's guide I found only P and S. But for the rest I have no idea what they are doing.

[Aernov]

If I remember the modes correctly (and I learned what they do through experimentation) - S - single, P - program, M - Multiple(?) - single release from each selected dispenser with flares in it, G - Group(?) - program from each selected dispenser loaded with flares, R - Reserve(?) - looks the same as Single. By "selected dispenser" I mean the position of EXP switch (UP or DWN), all modes will release from selected ones.
