Stun/EMP Weapon Effect Thread - Vector Thrust

Not necessarily EMP, but I'm talking about a "status effect" that temporarily disables the target aircraft's controls & weapons and/or reverses the flight control when the weapon hits.

Is it possible to implement?

I think it would be easy to add, but this means older fighters that not use fly-by-wire would be immune, right?

Yes but not necessarily a "semi-realistic" EMP effect, it may be a pickup that gives chance for your main weapon to do status effects on target or whatever kind of arcadey powerup it is.

Or AI plane/powerup that can "hack" your plane so that your flight control is temporarily flipped.

The way you said initially made me think in a actual weapon that has a EMP effect in the blast radius but I see now that you are aiming to a more power-up style of effect

Speaking of which, would a weapon with an EMP effect in a blast show up?

Actually both so that it can be quickly altered according to situation/preference.

This will only serve to make the F-14 better.

Do it.
An EMP explosion that modders can quickly rig to a missile would be a great, and an EMP function that can be attributed generically as a powerup would be cool. What about a plane whose SP function is an EMP blast they themselves are immune to?

Maybe the F-15Z could use that sort of weapon. Its third SP so far has been planned to be something that reflects its EW role.
