Like the name suggests, possibly adding in the option on the F/A-26B, T-55, and maybe even the F-45A (there's no need on the EF-24G and I don't think the AV-42C or AH-94 would make sense) to replace internally mounted gun to be used as an additional jammer pod slot. The 45 could maybe get 1 more jamming channel by forgoing the gun.
#Additional Jammer pod in gun slot, similar to the E/A-18 Growler.

maybe limit to one jamming channel tho?
that doesnt make any sense
because the 24 is the dedicated jamming aircraft
wicked ginkgo
What do you mean? The 26 can already equip 2 jammers technically. They're just lower tech than the 24
but you're right, maybe just limit it to one channel with lower power

im fairly certain its not a jamming emitter in the growler, just extra avionics space nor would it make sense in vtol as the weapons are all on one side of the aircraft rather than perfectly in the nose like it is on the growler so a jammers fov would be pretty bad
wicked ginkgo
Fair enough.

The ALQs on the wingtips are the receivers on the EA18, similar to the football on the EF111 and the EA6B
iirc
the EF24’s receivers are internal
from what I know that is

yeah but I think the thing he was talking about was the replacement of the gun in the growler being an extra emitter
which is just avionics irl
deep wasp
Yeah no that’s just EW avionics lol?
loud trail
yeah it’s just computers
deep wasp
yea
There’s no actual transmitter there other than its radar
the rest is just EW computing shit
and other things
loud trail
different from the F-4G whose F-4E gun was replaced with APR-47 advanced Radar Warning

There’s no actual transmitter there other than its radar
(and the radios)

And a gun is way more versatile than a jammer in this game
deep wasp
(and the radios)
yeah
I do not see why people would want to get rid of their most versatile weapon in the game for something most people won’t use because it’s clunky
it doesn’t make sense
Most people don’t bring jammers on the FA26
And the ones that do jamming in the T55 often do it because they have a backseater or pilot helping them do other things
Like in the EF24
:/
loud trail
yeah the fact you need both MFDs for jamming is very limiting in the 26 and 55
if there was some sort of AUTO self defense jamming people would use it
but i’m not sure that’s a good isea

thats what teammates are for

thats what teammates are for
yeah (altho i think a surprising amount of people play single player)

Ai teammates lol they are surprisingly capable
