I can't even get a simple SAM site to work.....


Recommended Posts

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?

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!

In addition to what been said - use Roland (I think they are German). It is a single unit, easier to deploy.

Ok, that's good to know. I was grouping them, just needed the other search radars eh? Thanks!

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:
