multiple sam sites (sa2) interfering with each other

[twistking]

Hi,

i noticed a problem with the sa-2, that i have also seen with other sams in the past.

when placing sam sites of one type in a way that the firing range overlaps, one sam site sometimes is so hesitant to engage, that you can cross directly over it in perfect intercept altitude...

 

i am not sure what causes it, but it might be that a site won't properly track and engage a target, when another sam site of same type is already tracking the target.

 

f.e. aircraft flyies in range of "sam A" and gets tracked. aircraft changes course and flies towards "sam B".

now "sam B" has difficulties trying to engage the aircraft as long as "sam A" keeps tracking.

i do realize that the SA-02 it still WIP, but wanted to report it anyways, since it's a bug that could slip through, if you did not explicitly test with multiple overlapping sites.

update:

could not fully recreate on a second try.

maybe it's just the sa-02 being not very reliable at tracking at this stage in development?!

update:

from my very limited testing it seemed that the sa-2 has a higher change of not engaging properly, when there is another site with overlapping tracking radius.

 

however i got one try where both sites engaged fine in rapid succesion and also one try where one site would be super hesitant, even with the other site being deactivated with "alarm state = green".

so it could be a concidence, but at least something is wrong with the tracking sometimes.

 

love the sa-2 though (great gameplay addition and super nice visuals) and i hope this little issue can get sorted out!
