Cylus Scratcher Resi Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Functional ALARM anti-radiation missile with both direct and indirect modes. Perfect for the upcoming Tornado and Eurofighter Typhoon.

Kang Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 True, but then I haven't found a way to get the AI to use them in indirect mode ever. Coming to think of it, it's already rather hard to get the AI to use them at all.
joey45 Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 We are getting the IDS Tonka so it'll be the HARM missile and I believe the EF doesn't use the missile... 1 1 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Exorcet Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 More advanced weapon modeling in general would make big difference in the sim. More varied behavior means weapons have different capabilities and need to be used/defended against differently. And of course it's also more realistic.

I know the Tornado that is in planning is going to be a Luftwaffe IDS, but that doesn't quite disqualify the idea of getting a proper modelling of the ALARM missile reality in DCS (as MR pointed out they are in the sim albeit somewhat lacking). Perhaps one might be persuaded to include such an improved, actually working ALARM missile for use in said Tonka, to stand in for a Gr 1; as far as I know there is no technical reason for it not to work on a German Tornado, just that Germany didn't buy any. As for the 'nope that would be wrong because no Luftwaffe IDS carried an ALARM operationally' talk, I am not even that sure any IDS ever carried a HARM either - ECR variants routinely do. 1

I don't care if the German tornadoes never used the ALARM they could be used by AI RAF Tornadoes. 1

RAF retired them from inventory at least a decade ago and I don't think they ever carried them on anything but the Tornado. 1
