USA_Recon Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'm new, learning the F15, when I encounter the Mig29, I'm able to lock him, but when I do - I get the 'JAM' ie JAM R 23.5 2 MIN How do you counter this jam ? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutcher Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The only thing jammers do in DCS is hiding range info. Normally when you are within 25nm your radar will get a burn-through to the jammer and will be able to tell the range since then. Also if you fire a missile before burn-through, the missile will fly in Home-On-Jam mode and will track the target autonomously with rather poor accuracy. http://www.51bisons.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, makes sense - I was not getting the 'box' around the target so I was unable to fire . Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon_120 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Don't ever shoot until you have burnt through his jammer, it would be a wasted missile. Wait until you are less than 20mn, 14mn is a better option to have a high PK shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
