![]() ![]() ![]() Other then just masking your information and denying enemy intel ECM can also be utilized by ground attack aircraft or packages you wish to blend in with the rest of the battle, a Su-25 spotted by the enemy 50 miles from other contacts is easy pickings, but if that same Su-25 was jamming the enemy might not know what kinda plane it is and thus not go seeking a fight its unsure about. as Frictionless says its better to turn it on and off to mask what your doing outside of burn through range.ĮCM is a liability in that leaving it on and getting within that burn through range is doing you absolutley no good and some missiles can actually track the noise, the so called HOJ (hone on jam) however DCS doesn't seem to model this mode very good for most missiles, its still a threat. You guys basically explained it but heres my attempt:ĮCM is not stealth infact its the complete opposite - its noise! ECM masks your dope from the enemy but makes a lot of racket so they can tell which direction the noise is comming from but not how far away it is, however because radars burn through the noise at closer ranges they will obviously know you are a good distance away, so using it to sneak up is the wrong way.
