Nope. They should. You sure they're seeing you?

Use AAA ZU-23 Emplacements and set them to "ROE = WEAPON FREE"

That works for me, but keep in mind that they have a pretty limited range (around 2000 meters?), they won't fire if you don't fly directly overhead.

where do I set the "ROE"?

where do I set the "ROE"?

One way of doing it is through " ADVANCED (WAYPOINT ACTIONS) -> ADD -> Set Option -> ROE -> WEAPON FREE "

It was a reasonable question.

If the defaults are changed, Russia and the US can be on the same coalition - both Red or both Blue.

Most of the SP missions I make are like that.

Read the OP again.

you do know when you set a mission up russian can set set as either blue or red , it is the same for US or any country

@Weta43 @Johnny Rico

Hi guys,

that wasn't meant as a condescending comment, Johnny. I honestly thought you had missed that OP bit.

As for coalition editing in ME, yes, I know that countries can be included in any coalition, but the way oldpop worded it, seems to me that he meant "I'm blue, the zu-23 is red".

Now, I did run tests before posting here, trying to replicate the conditions oldpop described.

I saw that blue aircraft weren't being fired upon by red zu-23 on the ground, so that kind of confirmed the issue oldpop reported (and that he was probably using units from different coalitions).

Sorry for not explaining this earlier.

PS. I just realized that Johnny's avatar is actually a gif :doh:
