Bahnzo Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 I'm just trying to make a simple mission with a single SAM site so I can practice evasion and learn how to attack different ones. But I can't get any of them to even fire on me. Simply, I put down a Hawk SR AN/MPQ-50 radar and numerous Hawk LN M192 launchers, they are set to USA. I set myself up in an SU-25T set to Russia and while they track me, they never fire. WTF am I doing wrong here?
Vampyre Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 There are four required pieces of the Hawk site. MPQ-50, MPQ-46, PCP and Launchers in a group to get it to work. All of the pieces are critical to its operation. They will also not work if you set them out as individual units... they have to be in a group to work. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"
sea2sky Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 In addition to what been said - use Roland (I think they are German). It is a single unit, easier to deploy. i5-9600K@4.8GHz ★ 32Gb DDR4 ★ rtx5070ti ★ Quest Pro ★ Warthog on Virpil base

I was grouping them, just needed the other search radars eh? Thanks!
Winston 60 Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 If this is just for you to practice, try putting in self-contained SAM vehicles. It's easy to place a single vehicle or groups of them. IIRC the self contained ones are: SA-8 SA-11 SA-15 SA-19 CPU: i7 980x @ 4.2GHz RAM: 24gb Corsair Vengeance MB: Gigabyte Sniper X58 w/onboard Soundblaster X-Fi HD: SanDisk 480gb SSD OS: Win7 Pro 64bit VIDEO CARD: EVGA GTX 980ti FTW MONITOR: LG 34" Ultrawide 2560x1080 MP SERVER: ibuypower i7-4810MQ w/Win7 Home 64bit GEAR: Saitek X-52 Pro; Combat Rudder Pedals; Throttle Quadrants. Thrustmaster MFD's, TrackIR 5 w/Pro Clip, Turtle Beach X-12 Headset
Sryan Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 There are also Templates for nearly every type of SAM site that places all the required units. You can always add more launchers to this group. Check my F-15C guide
