about the High-Power Microwave Weapon?

Post by hanzawa1991 »

Excuse me, is there the High-Power Microwave Weapon in the database? I searched the key words like "HPM" or "high Micwave" ,but it didn't come up
then,I remember high power microwave weapons can kill electronics, can you use it to attack radar?

There's EMP JASSMs and JDAMs in the DB which disable certain types of active sensors, including radars.

It's a good question, about an under-appreciated spectrum.
Something like that will be needed in the DB in the near future, from LRAD to the Japanese 6th gen fighter, and etc that we probably don't know about.

There are some differences between HPM and EMP? I'm not sure

In the mean time you can try a stand-in of it via special actions + ScenEdit_AddExplosion(), using a warhead of your choosing so long as edition allows it. Ie... execute microwave attack on currently selected contact, or X distance on y bearing at altitude Z from selected unit, etc. Been while since I used it but used to work in the past as I recall setting off omni-directional emp warheads this way that had the desired effect.

Why did it display "automatic fire is allowed
10000 x can FIRE(manual weapon allocation)", but no response when i attacked
