Unit 120 AH-1 Cobra/TOW - Appears to be right for AH-1Q. However, should have same EW as AH-1S (EW 6)

Unit 121 AH-1 Cobra/TOW - Appears to be right for AH-1F. However, TOW-2A not produced until 1987. Should either have TOW or ITOW at this date.

I must say it's very informative.
But why do you think that unit 120 AH-1 Cobra/TOW should have EW 6 ?
If you look at me previous post, you will find a link, proving that AH-1S Cobra had infrared jammer equipment, equal to the in-game EW of 3


Here's the information about AH-1F
http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...raft/ah-1f.htm

....."The Cobra can also disperse chaff and infrared jamming flares using the M130 general purpose dispenser "....
The same infrared jammer equipment.
I wasn't getting into the debate over the EW as right or wrong. In terms of what exists, the AH-1Q and AH-1S had the same defensive systems, so in game they should be equal. As it stands now the AH-1S has EW of 6, what is effectively the AH-1Q had EW 7. the AH-1Q should be equal to the AH-1S in the EW category.
