Thanks again! I am playing "Backyard II" in WestPac in the demo. Gonna need all the help I can get when I go to destroy Petropavlovsk and the Red surface groups.

Thanks for the answers. I was turning the radar off on loitering Prowlers to maintain EMCON! Oops! I take it the altitude effects ECM range, yes? Does the radar ON also control the ECM pods on attack jets? I usually go EMCON on Hornets and Tomcats if I am doing a "turn and burn" to outrun incoming AtA missiles, but if the ECM pod is off when the radar is off, perhaps I should turn it on. Or is this a double edge sword, where I get some reduction in PK, but I also tell everyone where I am. Are there AtA weapons in the game that will home on radar or jamming emissions?

Hi, I am an old Harpooner who decided to D/L the HC demo the other day. I had all the DOS versions and battlesets, and I did beta testing for H97 and EC2000. I had H2, and I bought Patriot too. So I notice these little lightning bolts that show up next to my a/c, enemy a/c, and enemy surface units. What are theytelling me? I am guessing jamming, but I can't find anthing in the manual. Speaking for jamming, does it just "happen", or are their finer points t using it. In general,I am impressed with the demo. Love the refuelling implementation, and the fact that i don't have to remember to split the tanker off and RTB it. I still think the Phoenix missle is too accurate against fighters. Thanks
