nickos86 Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 Hi, Would you guys say that the current AWACS is overpowered? Almost a 'GOD EYE'? In the DL you can many time notice low and slow helicopters or very far away targets. It's a bit of a pain specially in PvP and not sure how realistic is it. What do you think? Thanks. 1

No. You can notch it, hide behind terrain, stay outside range and there's even blind area because of the wing blocking the radar sight in the orbit. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

M1Combat Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Heli's (they're all low and slow LOL) make a LOT of radar noise as far as I know... seems legit.

Ignition Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 The jammer doesn't work against the DCS AWACS does it? I never tried it.

Against AI, jammers only do one of 2 things: Emulated track-breaking (breaking locks of RADARs locking you) - only the F-16CM and F/A-18C (at least). Reduces the lock and launch range by some percentage (possibly when outside the burn-through range) - everything else. Neither apply to AEW&C aircraft or search/acquisition RADARs in general. It should be possible to hide aircraft in noise from a SOJ aircraft, but I don't think this is possible in DCS.

Not to mention it's perfect resolution - it can discriminate every target regardless of the range. Cmptohocah=CMPTOHOCAH
