[FIXED B733] decoys

[orca]

I noticed a that when I attacked a ship with LRASM the ship used flair, chaff, and decm against LRASM. While this of course is expected due to the multiple seekers in the LRASM. What seems like a possible issue is all 3 of these countermeasures had the potential to spoof the LRASM. And if any of these were successful the LRASM was spoofed. This makes one of the strengths of LRASM (multiple seekers) a weakness (multiple different chances to spoof the missile). Shouldn't the LRASM just switch to one of it's different modes of targeting if one of those is spoofed. For example if jamming against it is successful then it would use it's IR seeker instead of it's active radar.

Of course this could issue could be just me and due to my incomplete understanding of how things work so apologize if that's the case.

Hello,

Is there a pre-point defence save available to investigate this?

In my simulation LRASM is working as intended. However, I've found a different bug, where combat log lists "Only 1 out of 4 weapon sensors spoofed". First, LRASM has only 3 seekers, the fourth sensor is DECM, which can't be spoofed during attack. Second, passive ARM seeker also can't be spoofed, but every other missile doesn't use it for endgame hit calculation. There should be only 2 weapon sensors mentioned.

Thanks Luidzi

Reported and we'll take a look.
