Alkaline Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hi, Whenever I want to activate ECM emissions, the HUD says "NO RAD". Does anyone knows why? Mode 3. What mode is usually used for air-to-air threats? X-55 Rhino guide to configure the Mouse Nipple to work as TDC slew!

Solution razo+r Posted December 27, 2023 Solution Share Posted December 27, 2023 In DCS, you cannot use the FCR if the ECM is transmitting. With ECM in Mode 3, your pod continuously transmits, which means you cannot use the FCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, I cannot have ECM on and engage in BVR at the same time?... Then why the hell do we even have ECM and why can the F15 do that when its several years older?

If you read the attachment, it seems you can use it together, although the FCR will be degraded in mode 1. 4 minutes ago, Alkaline said: Then why the hell do we even have ECM and why can the F15 do that when its several years older? Because it's still usefull against ground based radars. And why can the F15 do it? Because this feature has been first implemented in the F-16 and F-18. The F-15, being a much older and feature complete module, did not get the same effects implemented. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
