ECM & FCR : disruption?
-
According to the manual, the ECM’s XMT 2&3 disrupt the accuracy of the FCR … but from my point of view, I haven’t seen anything like that … is there anyone out there who makes the same observation as me?
if I’ve made a mistake, I’d like to know what I should or shouldn’t have seen …

It does not disrupt accuracy , it reduces max detection range , of course only when emitting on the FCR own frequency

From my tests it doesn’t change much to have it on.
Say you are in mode 4 so it will jam the opponent and (should disrupt your radar) SU-27 in this test.
With both jammer on or off it will detect the enemy at around 50 NM
The reason to me is that the enemy didn’t have a lock on you so your jammer isn’t transmitting anyway. You will get the same detection range.
Your jammer will start to transmit when the enemy is trying to lock you at around 33 NM.
At this distance even if you are transmitting you will be able to see the enemy BUT you might miss an other enemy at 50NM (further away than the contact that is locking you).
That’s not a case I have been able to reproduce but I guess it would be the only donwside to have the jammer on, you will lose a bit of SA. -
Seems to severely interfere with HARM (HAS and HTS) last I tried.

Though subjective, I concur with Airtex on HTS. Also, IMHO Milkyjax has the key. The degradation can seem very hit or miss because if the jammer’s not emitting, no disruption. I also wonder if , for example, on HTS you are working a target that’s outside the fore/aft jamming cones, what’s the degradation is in that case.
