Sa2

[Kev2go]

a 1960s era SAM missile, that saw use into the 80s with export users. This SAM type is notorious known from its use in the Vietnam war as well as the Arab Isreali wars.

 

I think its approaching time to have this added. We have had older legacy era added such as the F5E, Mig21, and others in the works, such as the Viggen ( coming out in a few days), as well as M-III, and a Mig19, A-7 Corsair in the roadmaps. And era appropriate missile for era appropriate aircraft.

i think if can control long range SAM that will be cool

[amalahama]

Yep, we need more and better SAM units. My bet is that after Normandy is out we might start seeing developments in this direction.

It's newer variants served till the end of the Cold War in USSR service. It seems it was the principle PVO SAM system (along with the SA-3) in the Caucasus region anyway so it's really weird that we still don't have it.

I am not sure what you mean with better SAM systems, do you mean more realistic and/or better looking, or do you mean more modern?

I agree with the first, but I'd say we also need some that are not modern, to have systems filling the gap between the low altitude systems and the modern radar guided systems that are rather effective, even though some are not nearly as deadly as in real life.

 

I wrote something about that years ago, here is the thread:

[amalahama]

do you mean more realistic ...

 

Yep, exactly what I meant. Current SAM IA is limited and acts awkward sometimes (like shooting at you like no tomorrow), there is plenty of improvement room here.

 

I agree with your post, we need more old-school SAMs (not only SA-2! but the complete under-ten SA family) and the never out of fashion flak!

 

Regards!

SA-2 is often asked for and I'm here to support this most recent ask!! Please, it's a huge missing peice of air defence!

S-300V [Gladiator/Giant], S-75 [sA-2 Guideline], S-200 [sa-5 Gammon] AI units has on plans by ED (no dates)

Yeah, as always I consider those nonexistent until proven otherwise.

I learned to not give anything on such info. Just makes me angry.

[MBot]

Having the SA-2, probably the most significant SAM in history, would be highly desirable.

[Los]

Agree!

[Angelthunder]

This thread would be more appropriate in the Combined Arms section.But i would love to see more SAMs in the sim from both the western powers and the east.The SA-2 Guideline would be great to have the first professionally modeled anti-aircraft system for CA and DCS.

[iborg]

"SAM Simulator : the DCS module"

[Bacab]

"SAM Simulator : the DCS module"

It would be a great addition to DCS.

[Silver_Dragon]

"SAM Simulator : the DCS module"

 

Require ground module DLLs into DCS: World.... expected see some progress by ED in the future.

[Northstar98]

Would absolutely love to see as many weapons systems as physically possible in DCS, SAMs or otherwise (and yes the SA-2 I'm starting to miss from my days with Strike Fighters 2) and with associated support vehicles, variants etc etc etc.

[Wizz]

Nice to see the SA-2 finally making it into DCS! All we need now is some medium calibre guns (ZSU-57-2? :) ).

Yes i just recently saw it on the weekend news section.

 

 

Good to know its going to be arriving so soon.

[Sajarov]

YEap, it's nice to see movements in SAM section. But

There are plenty of variations of the SA-2, so it will be ueful if ED say what version and what missiles they are modeling.

[crcr7]

The other half of this story would be the AGM-45, AGM-78 and maybe even the AGM-88 (1985) anti-radiation missiles.

 

 

I guess the Sidearm on the Harrier is sort of a proxy for the AGM-45 but the AGM-78 has been around since 1968 and we have nothing like it for DCS. Also I believe the US used dedicated chaff bombers (dropping large amounts of chaff at high altitude) extensively in Vietnam to degrade the SA-2's performance. Sounds like a good job for the AI.

[Bad_Karma-701]

NICE !! mpw hopefully we get the western counterpart to the S-75 and they make the NIKE series especially Ajax MIM-3, since it was the 1st operational SAM.

[Cik]

desperately need nuclear missiles for NIKE and SA-5 :^)

[D4n]

Can't wait to see this one soon in open beta :)

[ouPhrontis]

Uh-oh, the 'Flying Telephone Pole'.

 

[D4n]

Since the SA-2 is already in development at ED for over 4 months now, is the missile booster stage coding, animation, ballistic flight path values of S-75 and radar systems code are almost complete? Whole DCS community is awaiting S-75 (and end 2018 pleeease S-200 / SA-5 ??) EAGERLY!

 

 

We're expecting the S-75 in game before october...
