missing track file ECM/Jamming does not work anymore for legacy SAMs (SA-2/3/5)

[Rosly]

I didn't found any change in Open Beta "change log" so I'm opening this as a BUG because I suspect this is a regression.

Problem statement: All F-16 ECM pods are not making any difference (both in Deception and Noise Jamming modes) to legacy/old SAM radars and it's tracking, after one of recent DCS updates.

I remember it worked pretty well. For SA-2 it was quite easy to break a lock, means was effective for Fan Song up to 12nm. In recent version of OpenBeta I not only cannot break a lock even at 20nm but also seems there is no difference in locking range under jamming conditions.

To backup the story it worked some time ago, measurements for "DCS skynet IADS mod" of effectiveness of ECMs which simply does apply anymore.

@NineLine@Raptor9 You seem to admit ECM is effective for AG. So was it changed recently without notification in change log or this is a regression ?

Hello @Rosly

In order to create a case based on your claims we would require a track file replicating a situation you feel is representative of a possible issue.
