GGTharos Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 No, but excellent find! -10dbsm is quite detectable. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
*Aquila* Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 About a system being able or not to shoot down an object, radar cross section is one data among others. For example, if you admit that a Sa-15 can detect an AGM-122, you have to answer those questions: at which distance? How long will it take to acquire it after having detected it? How long will it take to shoot at it once the SA-15 has acquired it vs how long will it take before the Sidearm kills the SA-15 first? What's the hit probability? And so on.
GGTharos Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 The distance is mostly a non-issue. The rest, you're right, but most of the important things are just not simulated - ie. watching the video separation from the carrier on the radar scope, which indicates the launch of a weapon (I imagine acquisition at that point would be quite fast).
