SA-6 does not shoot

[vctpil]

Hi,

 

I have created realistic templates of several SAMs batteries, and notice that the SA-6 does not shoot.

 

In the track, I place the standard Russian SA-6 available in the ME and behind, my own template. All other SAM templates are firing, but not the SA-6, despite the missiles are following the targets. I try differents level of AI without success.

 

Track in attached. Stablev2.5.6.59625.

 

Thanks,

Vincent

Add DCS version.

Within ME, have you set their alert level to RED and given them an ROE of weapons free?  If not, try that.

[vctpil]

Yes, I tried, but the missiles still does not fire. Even the manpad in the same group are firing.

I have a SA-6 on one of my missions, just checked it and it still works (I'm on latest DCS Openbeta) and the SAM fires at my aircraft. I have the battery with this ROE:

I tried again the standard Russian SA-6 with ROE = WEAPON FREE, but that does not work.

 

I am on the Stable v2.5.6.59625.

Ye... There is something weird happening. Looking at the SA-6 LNs... it seems like the radar keeps dropping lock as they are not following the targets and only updating ever couple of seconds. SA-6 requires 30 second lock, to be able to fire, so with the lock being dropped all the time, it can't fire.

I tried a bunch of things:

• Removing all other SAM
• Reducing the SA-6 group to SA-6 units only
• Changing the aircraft
• Forcing the aircraft to no use ECM
• Make a new mission

None of this helped. 

The only time I got a shot off, is when I reduced the planes to only one. And it still struggled, loosing lock while guiding the missile couple of meters after launch.

No idea what is happening.

Yes, I can confirm the problem.

 

I placed 2 x 4 aircrafts invicible just to test the templates. The SA-6 does not react.

 

If I place only one aircraft, the SA-6 fire the missiles.

 

Thanks to highlight the problem.

OK, on my test I used just a single player aircraft .. that's probably why it works for me

I have had the same issue with the SA-2 as it constantly bounces between targets.

[vctpil]

Yes, I have the problem with the SA-2 too.

 

Hope ED will fix those problem in the next update. Thanks in advance.

Confirmed for SA-6 as well as SA-2. Here's a track with SA-2 SAMs.
