New SA-2 Guidance BUG with PN=1.0 and many more

[GumidekCZ]

Starting this new Bug topic just to be sure, that previous ED fix is not a final fix, but they will continue to fix work, till its match real SA-2 capabilities and features.

The Bug described here, in previous topic:

PN_coeffs tune for final interception stage to =1 (pure lead course). This is ED way to fix this problem?

SA-2 variant we have in DCS had never ever possibility to guide Pure lead.

Why ED not work on the warhead, fuze, 3 types of missile trajectories and ability to guide missile via optical sight under good weather conditions?

I know this is not SAM sim, but still, I thing that some of SAM systems deserves more love.

But HEy, SA-2 can finaly shot down something

Reading this topic, its seems to me, that SAM (not just Russian) systems in DCS were forgotten in time and new ones are just copies of the old ones with just new 3D, but with same old very simple Lua Script coding, which is unable to handle any real features of these systems... (Dual guidance and dual launch, CLOS, COLOS, SACLOS, ACLOS, LOSBR, use of Optics at good weather at heavy ECCM conditions,...)

 

Question is, can we expect this year or next year some LOVE from ED to SAM systems and EW radars? What about SA-4 a SA-5 systems?

 

In DCS News https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/newsletters/newsletter20042018-db94994c1740e9d799ea62b7f07e4d1a.html, there is mentioned SA-2 "Spoon Rest" early warning radar, will we ever get it together with V-755 missile ZIL transport truck?

I think we're going to have to wait until air defences receive a major upgrade across the board.

 

I largely agree with your assessment - the SA-2 we have right now has probably the bare minimum implementation in terms of guidance and battery components.

 

The transloader was teased 4 years ago but nothing ever came of it - I don't expect it to have the reload animation, just the missile teleporting from the trailer and onto the launcher after a set time would be perfectly adequate.

 

Apart from that we don't have the P-18 RADAR, nor do we have the 1L22 Parol-4 IFF system (even if it worked), the various control/electronics/operator vans (all of them basically OdAZ-828 trailers - which is a common platform for the SA-3 and SA-5), generators and even a RADAR simulator - which will make SEAD/DEAD/ELINT missions more difficult.

 

For me it's quite staggering that a major part of air defence - surveillance/EW/GCI RADARs is so woefully represented in DCS; right now we have a grand total of 3 that are functional, 1 of which being WWII (FuMG 401 Freya), the other 2 being graphically far out of date (both being LOMAC units or possibly earlier; 1L13 and 55G6 Nebo), there is a pretty well done P-37 'Bar Lock' RADAR, but it's completely non-functional (apart from animated) eye candy, with no control over placement. Same for the PRV-11 'Side Net' HF RADAR.
