[CLOSED] Do SAMs Rearm?

[Azazel]

I ran a quick test with a SA-6 LN, radar, and a Ural-375 to see if the SAM system would rearm. It didn't but I'm not sure if they are supposed to? The artillery pieces do of course.

Last I checked, yes. But only near a warehouse/warehouse unit. Though it was a little weird as I observed two major differences in behavior while testing two different software versions. Its been a long time since I last tested this aside for checking the Patriots re-arm time which was fixed from being none existent to be the same as the S-300 in 1.5. Also I think the Roland values are probably different now.

 

1. If the AI could re-arm they would re-arm. For example after firing 1 missile from a launcher an SA-3 was tracking a target, the target moved outside of engagement range and the 1 launcher decided it was time to rearm.

 

2. If the AI was tracking a target and it had missiles to use, it would wait to re-arm.

 

 

Rearm type definitions.

1. Complete ammo replenishment. AI's entire ammo cache is rearmed in one go, common with MGs)

2. Added one by one. Time to re-arm depends on how many ammo units need to be re-added.

3. Several added in packs. SA-15 adds 4 at a time, and I think it needs to have fired 4 in order to start rearming.

 

This table was compiled in version 1.2.14. Numbers may not still be valid.

"min rearm time" is blank for sam sites, but it applies to artillery. Its just a small number that is always added no matter the number of ammo being rearmed.

Sa-3 reload time has 1 minute by launcher, but 50 minutes to get other reload.

Good to know, thank-you!
