Prez Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) When ECM effects were first modeled for the F-16 early this year, it behaved similarly to the FC3 aircraft in that you could see the chevron of a jamming contact, bug it, and it would track like any other aircraft regardless of range just without the target telemetry of course. Now, with all the recent changes to the F-16's radar, you are no longer able to bug or lock a jamming aircraft unless said aircraft is already within tracking parameters of the radar if it were not jamming. Meaning that the jamming effects are simply an overlay now. This isn't hard to test. Simply place something like an AI F-15 in the mission editor, tell it to always jam, place it in look-up/look-down/co-alt parameters and watch as the jamming chevron appears but is unable to be interacted with until magically you can because you are within range to track the aircraft if it was not jamming. This is very repeatable. I would like to know if this is being worked on. I understand that there has been a lot of work done to the F-16 over the past few months specifically regarding the radar, but in the newsletter from the end of 2021/start of 2022 it was said that EW in DCS was going to be getting a good look, but there has been no talk of it since.

Please PM me if you do it is appreciated To confirm, currently it is not intended to be able to resolve angle on a jamming target outside of burn through range?
