the EW suite of a Perry Class could protect the ship "from radar-directed anti-ship missiles (ASMs) and for confusion of targeting radars on hostile platforms"

Is this modeled in the game????

I know is NOT a button (or even stated in the manual) associated with this capabilitie, but maybe engages automatically.

Anyone knows??????

I don't know to what degree "jammers" (a sensor type in the DW database) works in the first place - there probably a reason there are NO sensor entries of that kind.

Someone had an idea that maybe it was simulated into something else, but I don't think so. If anything it would have to be an increased chance for homing on chaff, or failed detonations(which I haven't seen), or plain misses (which I also haven't seen).

I'm not sure about the game, but I can vouch for the SLQ-32 being very effective IRL.
