I thought GTp166 used the "detection plus" method, where "plus" is

1. detection
2. detection + recognition
3. detection + identification

I'm guessing 1 & 2 above mean the ship may not know there's an EW decoy
out there; #3 gives you a clear idea of what you're up against.

Using AESA and PESA modes adds a bit of a bonus into the mix.

Has that changed in ISW ?

In other words rather than blindly saying since you screwed up targeting
you fire at the decoy, you'd have to have the sensor operator first
tell that there are 6 targets out there and 5 are drones and 1 is an opposing
starship (or whatever numbers are present).

Or is your way easier ?
