D4n Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 When AI SAM (such as Kub) set to highest difficulty, SAM STILL launching before no-escape-zone. Maybe same with other SAMs. DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

Jester Darrak Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 After reading a lot about this lately me thinks that is either a invincible bug or some kind of balance related design decision. If you take the history of DCS that started with Su-27 Flanker as a singleplayer title it could have been a bug since the first days. But while evolving into a vast multiplayer sandbox title it could have been, even since the introduction of CA, a design decision to just keep the player at bay when entering SAM infested areas and leaving the deadly 'n dirty tactics to the players themselves. If not, it is just an excuse. ED may feel free to use it as they wish. :)
Sryan Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I think it's working as intended. If a SAM waited for you to get to get in the killbox, it may already be to late as your plane might already be in range to deploy your own weapons. Not only against the SAM but also against other valued targets the SAM was supposed to protect. Check my F-15C guide
D4n Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Can't the radar from SAMs identify the aircraft type? I thought so...
