I thought of that, but the launchers are basically right at sea level. At the time I was shot down, I was flying at 23,917 ASL and the missile that got me came from a launcher parked at 36 ASL. They're more or less right on the coast, near Kobuleti.

So a buddy and I were flying our A-10s with a mission to strike a pair of SA-15s and we had an interesting time of it. After launching all of our Mavericks and apparently having them vanish en route, we quit the mission and watched the tacview report, and discovered that our missiles were being shot down in flight. I was surprised! I could swear that the last time I played tag with a Tor, several patches ago, they didn't do that. So, questions. 1. Are Tors meant to be able to intercept Mavericks this way? Wikipedia says that they're designed to shoot down guided missiles, but it cites the AGM-86 which is a much larger and slower target than a mav. If they are, I think it's a great feature and it definitely will make for some interesting tactical challenges to defeat. 2. What's the guidance on a 9M330 missile supposed to be? The DCS encyclopedia says both "radio command guidance" and "semi active radar" which seems like an odd combination, while Wikipedia only mentions the command guidance. My RWR didn't seem to think that the SA-15's radar was directly supporting the missile launches that came my way. 2.a. On a related note, will chaff and jamming affect SA-15s? The recording from tacview seems to indicate that it does. I was under the impression that missiles controlled by their ground stations (as opposed to homing onto a radar beam) were almost impossible to decoy because the controller on the ground compensates for that interference. 3. What's the ceiling supposed to be for 9M330 missiles? The DCS encyclopedia doesn't say, and Wikipedia claims it's 20,000 feet. But at the end of the mission, I had run out of Mavericks and was trying to do a bomb run, and got shot down from 24,000 feet by a missile launched from sea level. Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood something? 4. Any recommendations for defeating these Tors? Our plan for the next time we fly this mission is to ripple off all of our Mavericks at once and wait for the screaming to stop. Is there a more elegant solution to this, or is overwhelming them the way to go? Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise with us.

I just received two, here. I guess someone is phishing?

Ok, thanks guys. Still, BST/ED should probably send an email to Valve and get the store fixed.

Does anyone know if the Steam version actually works? The reason I ask: Ah, my favorite game, Unknown App. I note that the DLC list in the Steam Store page for DCS World makes no mention of the Sabre (although it does have the Dora), and likewise the Store page for the Sabre itself makes no mention of DCS World. In comparison, the Store Page for the Dora has the DCS logo right below the Dora logo and there's a big purple box that says "Downloadable Content: Requires DCS World to play!" I'm pretty sure whoever set the Sabre up checked the box marked "DLC" but forgot to mark what it's actually DLC for. So I'm going to hold off buying this until it changes. Maybe if I get it, it'll work just fine, but I'd rather wait a few extra days than get it and then spend the rest of my life locked in mortal combat with Steam's tech support.
