Weapon W170 R-27ER - [AA-10 Alamo C] is resolving its attack against F126 F-14A Tomcat
Attacking aircraft with base pK: 85%
Plane evading with a DATA of 4.0
Total countermeasures: -10%
Final pH: 35%
Roll: 81 (Miss)

Couple of questions:

- Why total countermeasures in the first resolution is 15% although the Hornet used both chaff(10%) and decm(15%)?

- Why the Tomcat didn't use any DECM jammers in point defense resolution although it has an/alq-126a jammer listed in its sensors?
