EW REDUX - Sania & Volnorez

Please let me know about any issues you encounter, I am kinda busy this summer but at the same time I really wanted to give you the "Custom ranges" feature. I am aware of persistent duplicate glitch, I will fix that in august update. Have a nice summer!

- CBA Settings for custom ranges and jamming strength
- Minor tweaks

- Future plans: TI and NVG jamming, TFAR jamming, Battery drain, Backpack jammer, Fix of duplicate glitch

The jamming system has been completely rebuilt to be more realistic and functional. The previous system was very simple and based on time spent in the jammed area. For example, the jamming could be set on 3000 meters, you would enter the zone and stay in 2995 meters away from jammer while getting completely disconnected within few seconds without any chance to react.

Now it is more similar (but not the same) to the Crow's Electronic Warfare. The closer the UAV is, the lower is the signal and the stronger video feed distortion is.

I added responsive jamming mechanic for NON Crocus FPV drones. It works slightly differently, but it delivers needed effect. So you can use a vanilla Darter UAV or modded MAVIC and you can be jammed in a similar way the FPV Crocus is.

Also, I changed the system of jammer range to predefined ranges which could be set in-game by interaction with jammer, the ranges are 150, 300, 600 and 1200 meters. From July 2025 it can be modified in CBA settings.

Besides above mentioned, there is not any other addon, which would jam a Crocus FPV drone in a way that Crow EW does it for every other. Now players are able to have decent jamming for a Crocus and at the same time, they don't have to use another jamming mod for rest of the drones.

- Original FPV Crocus addon has an unique signal mechanic which works with signal which limits its flight range, effectivity and so on. The jammer from EW REDUX makes the Crocus signal go down. About the case with other drones, modded or vanilla, which are technically able to fly wherever they want, jammer uses as a key their proximity to the jammer.

- Now there are 2 zones around jammer. First zone encountered starts to decrease a drone signal which leads to the increased video feed distortion. Once it flies into second zone, the connection cuts off and drone FALL DOWN (get destroyed most likely). That's a difference from Crow's EW, which let the drone to be taken over by AI and get into safe hover position.

- With FPV Crocus, you can find out very easily, when to stop to not get disconnected, with other drones, you can tell only by strength of video feed distortion and take your chances.

- Be careful, because the jamming range is now changeable by player interaction, you can get entrapped. The bigger the range is, the further is the second full jamming zone, within which you can suddenly appear and eventually get disconnected.

- "Jammer range switch" serves as an option for being able to jam only small portion of area and protect vital small valuable point without being detected from further ranges. For example, you want to protect an artillery system from FPV drones, but want to remain concealed as much as possible, so you won't be jamming 1200 meters to avoid detection of present jammer.

• 2 models of classic Jammers: Sania and Volnorez
  
  
• Jammers can be Dissasambeled, Assembeled, Put in the backpack or any inventory, Attached to any vehicle (all this by player in-game, some actions works only from First person view)
  
  
• Jammers can be turn on and off, the range are by default 150, 300, 600, 1200 meters or can be edited in CBA Settings. The range represents the maximum jamming distance, with the full jamming effect occurring at approximately half that distance. (This can be changed in CBA as well)
  
  
• Jamming is linear and is projected by increasing video distortion (or lowered signal in the case of FPV Crocus)
  
  
• All drones can be jammed (Crocus FPV, Mavic, Vanilla and so on)

• Some drones are not compatible (e.g. Lancet)
  
  
• Drone Signal mod is not compatible
  
  
• TI and NVG are not affected (WIP)
  
  
• It works as intended only with original FPV Crocus mod (FPV Crocus Enhanced and Edited might work as well though)

Most of the addon base comes from Sam and DarkBall. Many thanks for their contribution with this unusual but very needed and actual aspect of warfare. In the Complete list of functions, the first 2 points are all done by them.

Many thanks to Defichk for testing.
