twistking Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Accuracy of KS-19 with SON-9 seems not affected by jamming in AAA mode (A-10c II). My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
Northstar98 Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Yes though I imagine the lacking EW environment has something to do with that. IRL, the SON-9 is a simple (basically WW2 tech) radar using conical scanning and pulse ranging. It should be an easy target for deception jamming (both range gate pull-off and inverse con-scan - both are staple DECM techniques that numerous jammers in DCS should be able to employ), breaking the radar's track or otherwise spoofing the radar with false angle and range information. I'm not sure how powerful the radar is, but it should also be pretty susceptible to noise jamming and I don't think it has an angle-only tracking function (even if it does, it wouldn't be that useful without ranging).

Yeah should show up as an 'A' on most RWRs that we have and they should be able to tell when it's in acquisition and when it's in track.
