Temetre Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Id really like if Jester would disable the JAMMER, when theres an obvious situation with HOJ being a big (or even the only) threat. I know its probably a hard feature to implement, that its difficult to tell when the AI RIO should disable the jammer. But it would be extremely helpful, compared to having to use the menu (or voice command) to disable the jammer. This feels like a RIO should be able to disable the ECM temporarily, since hes got way more awareness of enemy missiles. See the scenario I had: So I was training RWR/missile dodging, and I had a Mig-29 shoot a semi-active R-27 at me. I defeated the lock with a notch a few times, and while it probably had me on TWS, the Mig-29 wasnt even trying to lock me anymore. Jester also informed me of the missile shortly after the launch, he was aware of it, and so was I. But - and this took me a while to figure out - because I told him to activate ECM, the missile went into HOJ mode and hit my aircraft. Even if I had known, going through the menu to disable ECM would be a chore while trying to maneuver in combat and keep situational awareness of the enemy. The only solution wouldve been to not use the jammer at all, or be overly careful with disabling it, allowing enemies potentially get medium to long range shots at me. 1
