Noob Questions

[Tiger Lead]

Sorry for the noob questions.

I tried making my own practice Wild Weasel mission but the SAMs ignored me. I did searches and found that SAM missiles and their radars need to be from the same group?. What does that mean? How do I check or verify groups? I couldn't find any explanation of the group concept. Does this mean the same TYPE, i.e., SA-3 radar with an SA-3 launcher?

 

Also, how do I get USAF Aggressors to appear in the country list? Does that require custom coalitions? Is there a way to make it show up by default whenever I look at the country list?

 

Thanks

Yes you are correct. Of the same type, the launchers need radars and vice versa.

In the Mission Editor you need to place a vehicle and then add more units to that group using the 'unit x of y' option in the top section of the screen (increase the y value). You can then change the type of each item in the group to add search radar, tracking radar, launchers etc.

 

Let me know if you have any issues with this and we can help further

Thank you for the help. I've also been learning how helpful YouTube videos can be regarding these and other questions.

Thanks again for the replies.
