How to effectively frag a package with EW plane?
-
Plus how effective are EW planes (namely EA18G?), especially in a scenario where I want to go, do some DEAD against SA-10s? Will they get me into a striking distance for HARMs before SA-10 will fire a shot? How would you set a flight plan for an EW plane to cover your approach and exit with enough time to do the right stuff?

There is a lot of good information in the threads Lorik posted. What is your specific question? (If it hasn’t been answered in the other posts)
SOJ was implemented a while ago, so you can just schedule an EW flight for the area, it does NOT need to be a part of your package. It does however have a radius around the jamming aircraft. Those posts indicate 30-40nm, but I believe it is much higher.
Would like to see the SOJ pods gain some effectiveness against airborne radars at some point. They are vulnerable just as the ground radars are.
