F117NightHawk Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I have a question about the ECM pods in-game. Do they actually doing? They never seem to have any effect on the ability of SAMs to lock on or track. Do they only work against certain systems? Lastly, is there a general guide to the use of the various models in Vietnam?

+Fubar512 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 ECM pods do work in this series. They simply reduce the range at which a SAM radar can acquire and track you. Once you're acquired though, it's usually too late, as you're close enough for the SAM radar to overcome any jamming . The effect is called "burn through". Quote
+FastCargo Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Also, TW sims can model weapons that have 'Home on jam' capability...your jammer actually becomes a beacon that the missile homes in on. FC Quote
+Gepard Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 ECM pods you must switch on and off again and again to avoid HOJ. And when you switch off the pod, then release chaff. Quote
