Radar countermeasure (chaff) effectiveness?

[topol-m]

Guys, could someone explain how effective are the radar countermeasure (chaff) in tricking the SARH missiles and ARH missiles? Is there a huge difference in effectiveness agains both types of missiles? Also how well is this situation modelled in LOFC? I`m not 100% but it seems for me that SARH in the game are more willing to go chasing chaff...

If I good remember there was similar thread but about weird thigs like missing ERs when u were close to enemy and he dumped chaffs. I know one thing - in LO chaffs work on everywhere aspect. This affects on ER effectivity. After patch IMHO it effeciency will goes up - and that is ok. With patched chaffs power and blinker method (when enemy blinked u lost ER -.-) ER will be stronger. Finally :)

ER will be stronger. Finally :)

 

Hope so. But what about reality. Which missiles are more affected by chaff?

[GGTharos]

Yes, SARH in LOFC are much more likely to go chasing chaff.

 

In general, the older the missile, the more affected it will be. In particular non-doppler seekers will be affected at any aspect, while doppler-filtering seekers will only be affected in the beam (currently n/a LOMAC)

 

In reality, the AMRAAM is going to give you a far more difficult time than an ER in terms of countermeasures rejection, but I'm pretty sure you'd fight either one just as hard when your life is on the line ;)

Sometimes i reall do wonder ...why you waste so much time ..in reality and LO comparsions..... .............. :megalol:

 

Is future worth that?
