Of course EW is used from AA units against the EW on target aircraft.. Duh!. It's the
ratio of target to shooter EW that decides whether the jamming works one way (or the other).
Plane with 0 EW against OSA of 7 - missile fires at standard chance since there's no jamming whatsoever.
Plane with 1 EW has a
tiny chance of a successful jamming of the missile (ratio is 1 to 7 against the plane)
Plane with 7 EW has an equal(ish) chance (7 v 7 = 1.0 ratio)
Plane with 9 EW has a fair chance of jamming the OSA (9 plays 7 against the SAM)
If the EW works for the target aircraft
then you'll see the Hit chance reduced to XX% by EW message as the missile is fired at the plane.
EW has nothing to do with the pilot
evading the SAM - that's entirely up to pilot skill and luck rolls. A SAM can be spoofed by EW
and also dodged for a combined much lower hit chance.
Bigger EW values are better. 0 is none. It's hardly rocket science.
