Open Beta: SAM interception range vs. difficulty

[twistking]

Hello,

on open beta there is now the option to set SAM engagement ranges

ME. Added ability to set engagement range for SAMs in percent of full range. Advances Actions -- Set Option -- Interception range.

I am wondering what the difficulty setting now does. It used to be that skill setting simply altered the engagement ranges of a SAM unit. Is this still the case?

Apart from systems like Tunguska and Rapier the "skill" of the operator should have no effect on the hit probability once the missile is lauched.

I think the skill is more about response time when shooting at an aircraft. Higher the skill the faster the SAM detects locks and shoots.

 

I also found that when the TOR is set to a higher skill setting they tend to have the ability to soot down your Mavericks or HARM missiles.
