Some questions about jammers in BMS
-
- what effect do standoff jammers (EA-6B, EF-111) have in 2D and 3D?
- is it possible to hide several planes under a single jammer by flying in very close formation?
-
If their steerpoint action is set to JAm they jam for every AC in a circle of about 30NM
-
Is there any limits one 30NM circle?
Example: Growler is 20NM from radar and friendly unit is 29NM from Growler and radar is between growler and friendly unit. Can growler hide friendly unit that is on opposite side on detecting radar? -
Growler stops every ground radar from locking a friendly 40 nm around it, and prevent lock from ground radar on everything friendly that is 40 nm around it.
I did say friendly =).

Understood.

I did a few test flights and it’s true, I stayed with a Raven and could pretty much fly up to the face of an SA-10 and 17, even put the SAM between the Raven and me.
It feels strange though, as both types can Home on Jam. And they both could shoot down my HARMs regardless.
I wonder how this works against human enemies.Is this behavior explained somewhere in any manual? Sometimes I wonder what other tricks like these is BMS hiding.

EW is the hardest thing to model. The HOJ does not mean that you can guide the missile on any jammer.
In RL SOJ jam the long range targ. acq. radars which means fire control radars have to be used for search. Which is very suboptimal.
Just read these and you will understand the role of targ. acq. radars.

The anti-ARM capability is likely partially a hack this is why likely can act against them.
