Suppression of Air Defenses? Thread - WIC: Modern Warfare Mod for World in Conflict

While playing in the air role I was wondering as I was watching my expensive helicopters get knocked out of the skies like flies being hit with a fly swatter by the heavy SAM launchers, I was wondering why shouldn't I be able to call in a aircraft with jamming equipment to temporarily suppress enemy anti-air defenses. I mean, the United States have used "Wild Weasel" fighter aircraft to suppress radar and anti-air installations since the Vietnam war and don't exactly know what the Russians have in that department, but I'm sure they have something.

I was thinking like having a tactical aid in which you call in a plane with radar jamming equipment or similar equipment that would patrol a radius on the map that you select and any of your team's helicopters that are in that radius cannot be targeted by radar-guided anti-air assets for a limited amount of team or until the aircraft is destroyed, but any AA units that are not radar guided (I.E Tank Machine guns, APCs, and small arms) can still work. Or having something that could destroy SAM sites without having to bother your allies.

It is one of ideas we curently have a look into, but curently anti air is actually underpowered.
You see the main threat now arent helicopters it is the missiles (both cruise and balistic kinds), as you can spam them. 16 tac toms can easily overpowered badly placed dual s300 set up and in reality you want atleast 3 fire units of you heavy sam with overlaping coverage to save you from being wiped every minute (and your spawn being camped too). Sead aircraft (such as wild weasel) will make sam comander life impossible, hence i think it wont be trully needed after new sam systems are introduced, as well as air-air fighters.

We're looking into SEAD options for long term development.

In the meantime, spamming cruise missiles alone is already keeping support players on their nerve-wrecking mental breakdown points.

Hm i think first aircraft that should be done - are the basic ground atack variety such as a10 ans su25. They imo should be reletevly straight forward to model.

Coming back to this thread over a year later -- now all of what we talked about here is implemented in MW Mod 3.2
