Stratos Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 Want to simulate a mission where I'm escorted by a potent ECM jammer as the Ef-111 Raven in ODS. IS there any way I can simulate that? Turning enemy radar off or greatly decreasing its range somehow? I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Lace Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 You can reduce intercept ranges for SAMs and weapon DLZs for aircraft. That could possibly be adapted to achieve some sort of simulated jamming. Perhaps even randomly activating and deactivating 'ghost' aircraft groups to draw away defenders. EW in general is sadly (but understandably given its complex and mostly classified nature) underrepresented in DCS. 1 Laptop Pilot.

Can you please explain how can I achieve that in the ME? In the meantime will check the link posted by razo+r I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

In the meantime will check the link posted by razo+r For SAMs, under ADVANCED WAYPOINT OPTIONS > SET OPTION > INTERCEPTION RANGE > set anywhere between 0-100% of max Aircraft SET OPTION > AA MISSILE ATTACK RANGES > set to halfway max range to prevent long range shots, or NEZ only also, SET OPTION > RADAR USING > Never use, or REACTION TO THREAT > No reaction, to simulate a lack of SA. These are all crude workarounds, but can help to hobble an enemy response, in the same way an EW attack might. 1 Laptop Pilot.

I'm sure there are better ways for those ME scripting wizards but for a simpleton like myself it works well enough. Laptop Pilot.
