ECM PACKAGE
-
Hi,
this is a very interesting point (thanks), but doesn’t answer TJs question.
Is a north side (red) ECM flight able to jam south side (blue) SAMs (like Patriot, Hawk etc)?

As I know there is no red SOJ AC in DB. EA-6B and EF-111A the only SOJ capabla platforms.

of course any ECM aircraft whatever his team color can jam whatever other systems of another color team

Are SOJ AC functinal if a player fly with one of them?
you mean with on of them , as pilot of the ECM AC ? very doubtful, i’ll have to check
falcon BMS is a F16 sim

Well TJ guess we need to add prowlers to our packages (lol now now boys)

as i said, there is no need for them to be in your package anymore. (they are flying too slow for F16 , especially prowlers)

Whats the impact of ECM on enemy and friendly AA radars?
-
They? The other SOJ AC in DB the EF-111A which can fly faster as any F-16 variants if Falcon carry weapons. EF-111A is always clean. With 100% mil thrust at low it can reach with 100% easily M0.9. Only question that campaigns create ECM missions or not and how STPs are set by AI.

none
I’m confused now. Does it or doesn’t work?
Let’s say I add a flight of an f-111 and have it circle between a sa-10 and a radar site and I fly over the area while the f-111 is over the area with jam as it’s stpt action. Would the sa-10 hit me or not?

From what I’ve gathered. ECM flights good against ground threats such as SAMs, but ECM flights wont effect enemy air-air radar.

Does work as “it should” (Jamming is selective): against SAM (and maybe EWR?) radars, not against AI radars.
Good info here: Electronic-Warfare-Fundamentals.pdf (Chapter9)

before someone jumps the gun, ai = airborne intercept. not the artificial intelligence.

thanx Moort for clarifying this. So this is as in Real. In Real ECM flights (at least back at IW1=Iraq War one) that was the role, jam ground radars and sam sites only, not airborn radars.
Wow that changes things… Finally maybe I will finish a campaign afterall… LOL

ECM will only support you against mud radar threats, not against enemy air radars or enemy awacs. It will possibly not shield you from detection of enemy non-SAM search radars either ?

As I know no one of current campaign have any SOJ squadron except Korea '80s, but EA-6B fly SEAD mission instead ECM.

If the planes are there than I can Add a flight just for ecm jam and me join the normal strike mission… right?

correct, dont forget to setup their jamming points

i’ve never flown the growler, is the ecm package like a weapon, is there something I need to learn, or do i just push a button and turn it on?

I had the impression that in real specialized airborne platforms like the EA-18G, EF-111 and EA-6B could spot and jam other fighter aircraft radars etc. I’ve did a search and I could not trace anywhere a commend that these systems are only capable of tracking and jamming ground radar threats.
What I DO know is that in real, even a wingman wearing an onboard jammer system will also jam the other flight members if they are withing his jammer fov, he will spoil comms, -120 shots, datalinks, etc etc. Jammer is a weapon to be used only after careful planning and under specific circumstances in flight.
