How are chaffing mechanics/effect simulated in DCS now?

[falcon_120]

I've not been able to find a definitive answer or test it properly myself so here's the question?

 

Is chaffing simulated in any way against radars? so for example, when hard lock by an enemy radar, specially older gen radars (sa2/mig 23...) is chaffing affecting in any way the lock?

 

 

I know that chaffs *do* work against missiles specially when combining it with beaming, my question is if it is of any effect against Airbone and SAMS radars, or im better off just saving them for a missile launch?

 

And is there any plans to work on further EW and CMs simulatiom in the near future?

If you dump enough chaff, the missiles of certain SAM systems will go after the chaff instead of your aircraft. Though sometimes it is capable of relocking onto your aircraft so you have to dump even more to trick the missile.

Chaff in DCS are nothing more than "flares" for active or semi-active homing missiles. Some missiles are less prone to chaff and some of them are more.
