[SBW] Electronic Warfare
[SBW] Electronic Warfare is a major Superb Warfare addon focused on electronic warfare, tactical communications, and remotely controlled combat systems.
The mod introduces stationary and portable jammers, voice-enabled radios, advanced FPV drones, radio and fiber-optic control, EMP weapons, signal interception, anti-drone nets, and a player-controlled guided missile.
Main Features
Electronic Warfare
- Stationary and portable electronic warfare systems.
- Three power modes: Eco, Normal, and Maximum.
- Battery-powered operation with real energy consumption.
- Phased-array upgrade that significantly increases the effective range.
- Multiple suppression zones: weak interference, moderate interference, and critical jamming.
- Disruption of drone controls and radio communications.
- Visible smoke, electrical sparks, and an operating sound while the jammer is active.
- Creative-mode power without a battery; the jammer automatically switches off after its owner returns to Survival mode.
Radio Communications
- Portable and stationary radios.
- Configurable frequencies, operating modes, volume, and transmission range.
- Text and voice distortion caused by weak signals or electronic warfare.
- Integration with Simple Voice Chat and Plasmo Voice.
- Voice mods are optional; the rest of Electronic Warfare works without them.
Advanced FPV Drones
- Full first-person drone control.
- Professional controller interface with power, range, and link status displays.
- Radio control affected by interference and protected fiber-optic control.
- Physical fiber cable with limited length, tension, and breakage.
- Working heat flares against infrared-guided missiles.
- Separate first-person effects for moderate and critical damage.
- Signal loss, EMP interference, and incoming-threat warnings.
- A physical copy of the operator remains in the world during an FPV session.
Anti-Drone Net
- Stretch a net between two selected anchor points.
- Tensioning duration depends on the size of the net.
- Countdown timer to
0.00 swith tensioning audio. - Natural sag that stops at the ground instead of clipping through it.
- Captured drones become visibly tangled, struggle inside the net, and cannot fall through it.
- Instant placement in Creative mode.
EMP and Interception
- The EMP gun temporarily disrupts control and video instead of instantly destroying its target.
- The interceptor can connect to the camera of an enemy radio-controlled drone.
- Operator movement and free camera rotation are locked during interception.
- Fiber-optic control is protected from ordinary radio interception and jamming.
Guided Missile
- A player-controlled missile with 120 HP.
- Professional-controller operation over radio or fiber optics.
- Hold
Spaceto accelerate. - Hold
Shiftfor active braking. - When speed is lost, the missile begins to descend and pitches its nose downward.
- Clean first-person view without the missile model blocking the pilot's camera.
- Press
F5to toggle a GTA-style elevated chase camera. - Heat flares and target-lock warnings.
- Custom thrust, shockwave, and supersonic visual effects.
- Original ignition, jet-engine, and sonic-boom sounds.
- Guided missiles are not captured by anti-drone nets.
Placing an Anti-Drone Net
- Right-click the first anchor point.
- Right-click the second anchor point.
- Keep holding the button until the tensioning timer reaches zero.
- Use
Shift + Right Clicknear the net to remove it.

## New
The panel also drives interceptor range, takeover window and difficulty, net drag, maximum net span and AA missile speed — all of which used to be hardcoded constants.
## Anti-drone net
## Radio
## Interceptor
## Balance
## Fixes
/ewcontrol panel**
config/sbw_ew_addon-presets.json. The command is operator-only (permission level 2).The panel also drives interceptor range, takeover window and difficulty, net drag, maximum net span and AA missile speed — all of which used to be hardcoded constants.
- Drone channel takeover**
[Y] to start and LMB to lock the sweeping marker. Ten locks in two minutes; the window shrinks with every success. On success the operator's monitor is unbound with a notification and the airframe drops into a soft landing. The attempt aborts if the target leaves antenna range, is lost, or time runs out.- Creative tab high-voltage plate**
## Anti-drone net
- Entanglement rewritten: instead of a star of triangles, the sheet now forms a pocket that hugs the airframe plus six mesh loops cinched around it.
- Sag is measured against the real surface under the sheet — a net laid on the ground stays flat, a suspended one drapes but never through the floor.
- The whole sheet shakes when a trapped drone thrashes or someone pushes through it.
- Bodies inside the mesh are slowed; the drag is applied symmetrically on client and server, so movement never rubber-bands.
- Maximum span: 48 → 24 blocks.
- New sounds: the catch itself, a looping rustle around a trapped drone, and a brush when you walk through the sheet.
## Radio
- Distance, terrain and enclosure now shape the **audio**, not just the signal meter — a link at the edge of range genuinely falls apart.
- New interference: multipath fading, heterodyne whistle, motorboating, and hiss rushing up between words.
- Signal meters move one bar at a time and no longer live a life of their own.
## Interceptor
- Range 700 → 200 blocks.
- Locks strictly onto the closest airframe in the sky.
- Player movement is frozen during interception and the camera is nailed to the drone optics.
- Stowing the interceptor drops the intercept and any takeover in progress.
## Balance
- Anti-drone missiles fly at half speed.
## Fixes
- Spectator mode.** The mod cleared
noPhysicson every player every tick, so the server pushed spectators out of any block they entered. Spectators fly through walls again. - Trapped drones fell forever.** A frozen entity produces no movement packets, so clients kept running their own physics. The server now re-asserts the position and the client pins the airframe.
- Players stuck to the ground, invisible and stuttering.** An intercept session left on a stack in the inventory kept the FPV park alive.
- Nets from a previous world.** The client sheet cache was never cleared on disconnect, so a brand new world came up with someone else's mesh hanging in mid-air.
- The "drone caught in a net" warning is no longer hidden behind other FPV banners.
- Monitor signal bars no longer disappear in batches.
- The takeover key hint reads
Yon any keyboard layout. - Interceptor GUI layout fixed — the hint text ran into the battery slot.
- The creative tab plate no longer extends past the item columns.
- "DEMOLITION" → "TARGET LOCK" on target lock-on.
