Hello All returning player here

would people be so kind as to explain how ELINT works in command as i am really struggling to detect emissions for example i can identify a Pantsir radar but the system on the growler won't detect the Nebo M radar right next to it.

this is despite them both being set to emit.

kindest regards

There can be a lot of reasons for an ELINT non-detection, anything from "receiver does not cover the emitter's frequency" to "no LOS". We'll need to see the specific example. Save file ?

as requsted

should work this one

Had a quick run with the scenario, to test if ELINT was working I turned off auto detection on the red side and told blue to drop contacts so they started off hidden. I then flew a Rivet Joint up the coast which has found everything straight away so ELINT as function is working fine. Second Test i told your Growler and one i added (Latest Version) to do the run up the coast and they saw five of the six radars. I have then looked at the raday itself using line of site (LOS) tool and it looks like that radar is sat in a valley, I moved it to the top of the hill and it found it straight away. Final run with just the radar moved and your Growler unassigned and refueled so i could make it move towards the area. Detected all six Radars.

So to conclude the Radar needs moving up out of the valley its sat in then you will detect it fine. See save below with Radar moved. Hope this helps.

It is always amazing how much detail the simulation takes in account.

Thank you all sorted was just a skill issue on my behalf
