For this mission, I am flying over the Falkland Islands on the awesome South Atlantic map. I wanted to share some lessons which I have learned over time while flying SEAD missions in DCS, specifically around the HARM's Pre-Briefed (PB) mode. I have noticed that most people use Target Of Opportunity (TOO) mode and Self Protect (SP) mode and rarely use PB mode. I suspect that this is due mainly to the fact that for PB mode, you need relatively good co-ordinates for the SAM radar which you wish to hit and most servers give a general location which may lack accuracy. Also, the HARM may detect radars in locations for which you have no location information. It can also be quite tedious to enter in coordinates via the UFC for PB if you have accurate location details.
By using the HARM as a sensor and the HUD to place the TDC diamond over the HARM designation square, you can get an accurate distance and location to the target which will allow you to use PB mode and also visually acquire the site with your FLIR for additional weapons use.
Hopefully this helps people out and lets them enjoy blasting those SAM sites while on SEAD and DEAD missions!
