dresoccer4 Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 (edited) The Kiowa has a missile warning system by default, correct? Then what is the an/alq-144 addon, and is it better or worse than the default ssytem?

The AN/ALQ-144 is an older style IR Jammer ("disco ball" fitted on the KW's tail boom). It was effective against older types of IR missiles with a particular type of seeker head (AFAIK details are still classified). It was replaced on the KW by the newer CMWS, Countermeasures and L2MUM Antenna. The AN/ALQ-144 is available in DCS to allow mission makers to model older airframes - AFAIK there is no reason to choose it over the default CMWS.

YoYo Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 The AN/ALQ-144 performs quite well and even when holding a course there is a 90% chance the missile will miss and go down, tested many times. Personally I like it a lot. 2 Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 4090 24Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro
