Emp_Palpatine Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 There is a real advantage playing in WOI and WOV to have some ECM. As soon as I'm locked on, I turn them on and most of the time it helps breaking the ennemy lock. Most time, I am even not in the obligation of flying at low level, thanks to them. But it's not 100% effective. Quote
Gr.Viper Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Soviet SAMs in the 70s have home on jam capability, so having ECM on al the time can be asking for trouble. I use ECM only to break lock and then turn it off. Here's a recent thread on that subject http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...t=0&start=0 Quote
Lt. James Cater Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Experience has taught me is that ECM allows you to pretty much disregard SA2s fired further than 15 miles as long as you are not heading towards the SAM site. SA6s still have about roughly an 85% chance on you though. When one of those is coming up, head for the weeds! Quote
