JAMMER usage - Mode 3 -> Mode 1

@BIGNEWY I have had the opportunity to talk with a RL F16 pilot and that way cannot be done in RL, so it is a bug, cannot be continuous jammer transmit in mode 3 and have the radar working after pass to mode 1 in MAN.

I will need public unclassified evidence of this, please dm me. 

thank you

Please let your SME have a look at it, I just only have a conversation with a pilot that worked with that system.

We will need public evidence, SME's can also only talk about publicly released information. 

thank you

Ask him if to talk about that procedure is public or not, but I imagine that if today the switches are implemented and the radar has a behaviour according to the switch position is a info that you already have and is public, what I am putting into consideration is if that behaviour is correct or is a bug.

Based on your original questions, we would not be able to ask a SME for comments on this, based on how it works in the game is how we see it to be working. If you have more documented and valid evidence, please DM it to us and we can take a look. Thanks.

I do wonder what public documents the current implementation of the ECM is based on, it is my opinion that you cannot demand public documented evidence to change something if the current implementations is "based on how it works in the game is how we see it to be working."

The way this issue is described, it sure sounds like a bug. The way I understand it, it appears that using an incorrect switching procedure allows you to essentially keep using mode 3 with the radar still operating.

No, this is not true. Using the radar and mode 3 never happens.

But I found another bug while playing and looking for discrepancies, which is when in Mode 3 (radar antenna not moving). Then switching to Mode1 and putting mode knob to Semi or Auto: antenna is still not moving! Which is not correct. As soon as I move the mode knob to Semi or Auto, antenna should start moving and scanning.

I might be wrong, but if you have an AMRAAM selected, then I think this is correct behaviour.  It overrides the XMIT switch.
