Not a bug - just better jammers (reacts only when transmition is against them, not like in Vietnam.


so... if it's not a bug... where is the solution ??? i have to attack to jamming target with transmitter switch on? confused
edit: because when my transmitter still on... i can hit f-18 !!! this is realistic ? ? ? .........


Yes, you use home on jam, but you need to give the threat aircraft a reason to use jamming... With the radar off he is silent ~ "ECM on" merely authorises the pod to jam when illuminated. Because of the jamming you have to use the less efficient T/T mode rather than half-lead as range information is denied, which reduces maximum engagement range considerably, and increases missile manoeuvre requirement in the end-game. Of course the most important difference to Vietnam is that you can't just 'aim for the strobe' with impunity ~ by needing to illuminate the target to get a valid target of any type you become vulnerable to ARM, and HARM is far more responsive than Standard ARM or Shrike.
