Sierra99 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 This is a great guide. I have a question for you regarding SA-10 configuration. "The FLAP LID has a max detection range of 86 nm, but this will vary on target RCS. The CLAM SHELL has a limited autonomous scan ability tailored to detect low level targets. An EWR is required to effectively detect medium- to high-altitude targets. ���� If we add an EWR to an SA-10 Group, does it actually change the detection range and operation of the SA-10 in the game?

So one can drop a complete SAM system into a mission? This is something that I really find lacking in the mission editor. 1
shu77 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks for this I like the layout diagrams it adds some accuracy to design beyond plonking assets down. It would be worth cross referencing Acquisition time against what I have in my slides to make yours more accurate.

RocketmanAL Posted September 15, 2020 Author Posted September 15, 2020 If we add an EWR to an SA-10 Group, does it actually change the detection range and operation of the SA-10 in the game? Sorry for the late reply, honestly stopped paying attention to this thread. In my experience adding the BIG BIRD significantly improves the SA-10's ability to engage higher altitude and longer range targets. The CLAM SHELL is better for low-altitude, but if you put it's detection range next to the BIG BIRD it's significantly outclassed.
RocketmanAL Posted September 15, 2020 Author Posted September 15, 2020 Is it possible to create templates for complete SAM sites? So one can drop a complete SAM system into a mission? This is something that I really find lacking in the mission editor. Sorry for the delayed response, wasn't really watching this thred after the first week or so. You can create your own templates. It's the bottom section of the templates window. Just set-up a site like I have in the guide, or in your own style, and save it to have it avaliable for future uses.

falcon_120 Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Excellent job. Just a minor correction, within DCs the SA11 is very capable against HARMS.
sleepycanuck Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 Thank you so very much ... very helpful, especially when making missions in the editor! SleepyCanuck :sleep:[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RocketmanAL Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 I've updated the guide to V1.1. Added the NASAMS, corrected a few deployment layouts, and retested some capabilities against PGMs and updated relevant systems. 1 1

Minsky Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 Hi! The ranges in your guide -- are they based on the in-game values, or real-world data? Because some numbers for the SA-5, SA-6, and SA-8 (I haven't read the whole document, so there can be more) are quite different from my own playtests. For example, the guide says that the Gammon's max and min engagement ranges are 138 and 3.75 nm, respectively. In DCS, however, it won't fire on targets that are farther than ~70 and closer than ~9 nm. SA-6' max range is listed as 13 nm. It can, however, fire at you from ~21 nm: SA-8: same story. Listed as 5.5 nm, will actually fire from ~9 nm away. I mean, the guide has a lot of good info overall, but the wrong ranges can easily get people killed 1 Dima | My DCS uploads
