EW block
 

What is the EW block that was mentioned by Fastboat Tough in the update thread? Thanks.

Re: EW block
 

The game has an EW code, described in the mobhack help file for each unit. It has various functions as outlined there. Perhaps this was what was being discussed?.

If you have a question about somethig then ask about it as a post in that thread, rather than a random post in a different forum. It makes life much easier.

OK, thanks.

The "EW Block" was newly added in the last patch.

Don through the years on my submissions has had to, and I'll be nice and say, "unconfuse" me on the issue concerning the difference between Active and Passive armor protection systems concerning armor.

I would like to think he did this for my benefit :rolleyes:, however I've seen that "I'm not the only Bear in the woods" when it came to this topic. :D

So from the game guide as updated for 2020...

"For AA vehicles and units, and planes defending against them, the ratio between firer and target plane EW is very important. If the target electronic defences 'win' then the firer hit chance will be reduced.

Active or Passive anti missile Systems

This field is used for anti missile countermeasures in modern non-AA vehicles as well, some may have special smoke dischargers and/or IR countermeasures giving PASSIVE PROTECTION (collectively termed VIRSS--Visual and InfraRed Screening Smoke in the game ) designed to passively defeat anti-tank missiles by jamming their guidance systems , and some vehicles may have an ACTIVE anti missile system which can shoot down incoming missiles (collectively termed CIWS...Close-In Weapon System in the game and includes Arena, Drozd, Zaslon or Trophy type systems). Both systems give the option of one or two "shot's" of countermeasures so both types do not have unlimited use during a game."
