The Viper was already AMAZING, does the new ECM pod help it? DCS F-16C Viper ALQ-184 Long Pod Test

[@MrChaosProf]

From what i've heard, there is some RNG in the range for burn-through on the ECM. So testing this would need several runs IMO. This might be the reason why the short pod performed better in most modes than the long one.

[@RaptorRising]

That's probably true. I feel that at the end of it they're pretty interchangeable with the exception of broadcast mode, which really shines on the ALQ-184 long.

Congrats on 500, subbing up quite nicely!

[@RaptorRising]

Thanks man! I appreciate your support!

@@RaptorRising you're welcome, brother!

Just curious, aren’t you supposed the push back on your TMS switch or TMS back short or something like that? I’ll have to go back and watch Waggs video since I can’t remember. I thought there was something else you had to do to get it to work. Thanks for sharing your findings though & for making this video. Awesome stuff!

[@RaptorRising]

When you put it in semi auto, you only need to give consent and then the system works the program as necessary. You do that by using CMS aft, and CMS right disables it

Saw that you have the shooters 550 skin on. Repping my squadron, roll em! 🤙🏻

Incredible livery!!! So cool that you work with these awesome birds!

[@Oats4761]

Not sure if it matters but you were missing one module on your ECM panel. The first 6 need to be on, whereas you only have the first 5 on

[@RaptorRising]

Hm I'll run a private test and if there's a huge difference I'll put something out where I eat soap or something, or let the SAMs shoot me down in shame perhaps

@@RaptorRising Old vid but I can't find your update on this. I have done a LOT of looking and studying on the F-16. I believe there are 2 short, 2 medium and 2 long. Thus, why there are 6 altogether. Don't rely on what I am saying, cause the info is top secret but, that's what has ''leaked'' out that I have seen.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

You made a huge error. You neglected to throw the MAX POWER switch. I know it's not hooked up to anything, but I still use it. It's a psychological thing. I fly better and have more kills when it's engaged. I still gave you a like and sub, but this is the final warning. Use the switch! lol

😆 thanks for your support

@@RaptorRising Do you know the story behind the switch?

​​@@valuedhumanoid6574Older F16 models A/B engines had a feature to use extra power if the situation required, for a short period of time. It could damage the engine if used for long. They just left it there for future modifying if required in block 50 n +

@@oscarmike3028 I know. I was just saying that part of my checklist is to always switch it to MAX POWER even though it doesn't do shit. Just a little phycological thing
