Markus,
I've been playing that scenario as well. It is indeed a very well designed and tough one to beat. I have found, taking the EA-18G's and placing them in an orbit about 100NM from the target area, escorted by additional AMRAAM equipped FA-18's and a few tankers, make for a very well staged jamming package. Additionally, I send a similarly timed HARM package, timed to hit as close to the same time as the Tomahawk. It's a challenge and if there's a way to tie the HARM package with the Tomahawk launches, I haven't figured it out yet.
I also tried the Air Launched Decoys and didn't find them to work as I thought they should, however, it's not to say I employed them entirely correctly. I therefore opted to use the HARMS in lieu of decoys, choosing to destroy rather than overwhelm.
Anyway, as you've clearly stated, it is indeed a very good scenario and challenging to say the least. I have also played with the hypothetical AF-117's too, but they can be overwhelming powerful so I am re-tweaking the modded scenario a bit to balance it out better.
