Battlefield 3 Beta - Using the ECM Jammer unlock on Jet

[LambOfMusic]

ECM never fucking works god damn useless shit

[TheLangridge]

your spost to use it when ur locked not when the fired the missile

[IRcoolkidz]

ecm jammer just stops them from locking.. lol

[MrSoggyTissue]

Dude the ECM only works when

[MrTrezeno]

The ECM Jammer, Is to be used as soon as someone locks on to you. NOT when a heatseeker / rocket is coming towards you.

[killercrabman]

emc only works to prevent a lock on so once a missile is launched you have had it.

[Nosirrah97]

what's the 'chaff launcher' thing you get, it says in the description on the battlelog that it includes chaff launchers?

[killercrabman]

@Nosirrah97 chaff are small bits of tin foil like u wrap your sandwiches in and they disrupt the missiles guidance system kind of like a mirror.

[Nosirrah97]

@killercrabman ok, cheers. I like how you described that :D

[xNatakux]

the only reason i would see ECM jammer be good is if you know there is a soflam you. Other than that flares are better cause you know when they fired the missle. For jammer you get lock make you blow ecm and retarget you.

[david12597]

@xNatakux yea I agree, soflam's are out of control these days too!

[TheDeltaXQ]

Jesus fuck buddy dont break your controller. But other then that ty for video

[david12597]

@TheDeltaXQ already broken LOL, its my keyboard btw, its my mic that picks up everything so well, wish I could fix it.

[TheSjonkeesen]

the trick is to only shoot one heat seeker and then after he used flares the second one, also when he got out of youre screen make a sharp turn by using the brake (this is not gonna work with the F35)

[Carlit0Tit0]

@Trewq79 All you have to do is learn how to dodge missiles while using extinguisher. When combined with Air Radar it's really useful, because you can see where the missiles are coming from and dodge them. Most people dint really kill you with machine guns instantly as often and I just find it more helpful than flares

[lahmamamia]

You need to use the ECM jammer before they launch their missiles, it prevent your vehicle to be locked on, once its locked on and the missile is coming for you its too late.

[DragonSpikeXIII]

Guys, I don't know about you, but I was also doing it wrong, turning ECM on only after the missile had been fired but it stlll kinda works as long as you activate it while it's still far.

[Darusdei]

heh i don't use heatseekers at all on jets. just gun them down with the turret. i find it far more effective than trying to tail it and fire several heatseekers because of the flares.

[MasterGunner1978]

Seems like ECM sucks. Flares, stealth, and manuvering is the only way.

[Carlit0Tit0]

@MasterGunner1978 Extinguishers is the best in jets, ecm jammer is the best in helis. 63 kills and 0 deaths is my record in heli but I was using ecm jammer

[Trewq79]

@Carlit0Tit0 I dunno, i'd say flares are best in a jet. Extinguishers recharge in 25 seconds, so 2 rounds heat seakers and you are done. As for the cannon, if the enemy jet is used to destroying your jet instead of just disabling it, extinguishers don't do much; there's a lot of times i disable an enemy jet, then disable it again like 0.5 seconds after because they tried to use extinguishers.

[TheNfstuner]

i think the jammer only works for laser deticated locks like from the javelin or laserpainters with guided rockets

[ThomasJohanPedersen]

Notice it says prevents from being LOCKED ON. It's not fucking flares.

[Terroristcell258]

I don't really see why there's so much hate for people who jump before they get incinerated its what you'd do in a real situation and also not giving the enemy more points. Ya I've gone through dozens of games with 3 kills and 12 vehicle disables and destroys but you are racking in as many points as being on the ground killing an actual person if not more points to rip apart some metal.

[Zaladorarch]

ecm scanner? huh?

[tiddys2k]

Use guns when close lol, you could have killed so many more guys than you did if you hadn't been trying to lock on constantly. Missiles are shit to be honest as everyone has flares now.

[LordSturma]

ECM prevents the lock-on, if the missile is already in the air you need flares.

[SnakebitLegend]

you use it before they fire the missle :D

[Kom3tBrawl]

The ECM is supposed to be used before they launch and while they lock.

[DeadlyFul1]

the only problem with the ECM jammer is that you can't see who is locking on to you where as with the flares you can wait till the missile is fired and release your flares to SPOT the shooter and take him out

[matje103]

it's funny to hear you bulletmashing when you get a lock on an enemy jet XD lol

[4ndyBm]

ecm jammer is so useless. flares are better. at least beam scanning works

[nafoonthebaboon]

I think u use it before they lock on... but then they just hold the missile for a few seconds and boom! they alreafy locked on and you are waiting for it to recharge. Flares are way better

[DButchaa]

Omg i hate it when ppl jump out too! I stay in and take it. Thanks for the info yall, i wasnt 100% on jammer. Go guided missles!!

[kopy001]

The ECM Jammer is deployed as the enemy is locking on to you or already locked on. It won't work if the enemy missile is already deployed. The ECM jammer works the same way as the IR Smoke on the tank. Hope this helps :)

[THEAVERAGEGAMER13]

Im 1000 points away from ecm. Some guy used it on me it also shoots out smoke so you can lose sight of him if he is a good enough pilot

[THEAVERAGEGAMER13]

Yeah i stay in cus im a good pilot and i hate when that happens so i dont do it

[R4P7ORx651]

Don't you love how faggots jump out, a few days ago I had 17 vehicle destroys and 0 kills and 0 deaths, in a jet because people kept jumping out, if a jet is disabled it should shut down the cockpit and not let you jump out.

[13light]

@R4P7ORx651 LMAO!!! Btw, i dont use heat seekers. My main load out is rocket pods, flares, and air radar. The gattling gun does wonders in a dog fight, when you know how to aim.

[R0GU3dotTV]

Only workd for 3 seconds, with a 7 second recharge

[AsimisterMT]

10 min fuck you !!

[impaler83]

can someone explain how to use them properly? do you use it before they lock on or after they shoot because im using it both ways and it doesnt work? so just put @ and my name so i recieve it as a message

[Discussd]

@impaler83 The first sound is enemy heat seeker locking onto you. The "Blip blip blip blip blip" means that a missile is in the air heading your way. Just way a second after the first "blips" and pop the flares. Laser guided missiles are pretty much the same.

Im not sure if these flares includes IR flares or just normal radar locks though.

[ryder4782]

You will hear a beeping which is someone attempting to lock on the comes the same tone but solid which is lock on then a different beeping which is the middle tracking you.

[BonerJams7]

Nah, the flares aren't better. lol

[S3xiepapi69]

So David I have question for you, I am really big fan of BF3 because I be playing with the jets lately and every time I fly over a base I am always getting lock by a stinger what the best gadget to use beside smoke because it seems like it never work for me sometimes even when I do a maneuver roll and altitude so many times, if you can help me with that I will definitely I appreciate that.

[david12597]

@S3xiepapi69 if I have engineers with stingers, as soon as the first locks on me I try to head as far away as I can, that is if I am not engaging someone, I will take the first stinger, normally brings me down to 50% or maybe lower or higher sometimes. Because I eat the stingers I normally use Extinguisher as my mod so when I am out of range I use it to bring my health back up high enough that I my plane will repair on its own. I try to stay away from their base at all cost usually.

[DeadlyFul1]

@david12597 the ECM jammer is damn n doesn't work. use flyers as you fly away from their base, thats the best way plus stealth to prolong the lock on

[0MaxK0]

@S3xiepapi69 I do the same as David in his reply as well, however I would offer the following tips too.

- Afterburner is an awesome thing, there are quite a few times that I have avoided the stinger or it just scored a glancing hit (55+ health left) allowing me to tank 2 hits.

- Fly low with the below radar, enemy Jets are hard pressed to lock on but ground enemies won't usually be able to maintain a lock or very high to get out of range.

Hope this helps

[DeadlyFul1]

@0MaxK0 n to who ever is reading his reply. it takes FOREVER to get the below radar

[deltaalphacharlie]

@DeadlyFul1 it dont work dang it. i fly so low till im running to the ground and i still get tone.

[DeadlyFul1]

@deltaalphacharlie use flares n have a teammate if u flying the chopper. it helps alot

[deltaalphacharlie]

@DeadlyFul1 for jets cant fly chopper to save me life

[soundslave]

Flares are better.

[Huwaetje]

Please read! Quote from battefield wiki: "Once deployed, the ECM cancels out all lock-ons, but does not stop enemy missiles that are already tracking you. The ECM lasts for 3 seconds, and requires another 7 seconds before it can be fired again." It does work, you're using it the wrong way.

[binxstube]

Didn't watch the whole vid but the beginning was exactly what I'm experiencing. My ECM doesn't work. So I've just been using flares or the extinguisher.

[bertsteerswimmer]

flying seems much easier on the pc.

[GregRK7]

@bertsteerswimmer flying is easy on consoles, just takes practice not hard at all really.

[bertsteerswimmer]

@GregRK7 yeah its not hard, but it just seems easier on pc.

[DroxyClan]

how do you use the flares whilst in the jet?

[gr8heights3]

you mash your buttons so much dude

[oTATAoO]

Extinguisher + maintenance = awesome

[RarelessAltimaEX]

I like how the jet takes off

[david12597]

@RarelessAltimaEX yea I like the quick takeoffs myself ;-)

[EJsacasa]

@david12597 One is supposed to use the ecm jammer as soon as you hear the first beep. It helps against lock ons. The flares are different in that you have to wait until the person actually fires the missile, so with flares you have to wait for the second, constant sound of a missile firing. In this video, you waited too long.

[david12597]

@EJsacasa Thanks man, good info. I am unsure if I will ever use ECM Jammer anymore though, do you use it or do you use extinguisher ?

[EJsacasa]

@david12597 i use the flares. i almost never die when up against missiles. Usually what kills me is the guns from the turrets. When you use the flare, you simply have to wait until you hear the constant tone. this means that someone just fired a missile. Use the flares, then pull up and fly away. Dont use the flares before the tone, it is useless.

[EJsacasa]

@david12597 also, a tip for aircraft. It would be better if you tried to use the machine gun instead of the AA missile. It doesnt warn them and you can substitute the AA missiles for the laser guided missiles, which are decent against tanks and really good against jeeps. Trust me, you wont regret having practiced with the machine gun against other aircraft. I also recommend flares instead of extinguisher. Most times, jets just finish you off after you are disable. better to not get hit at all.
