S-300PS Tin Shield


Recommended Posts

Premise: The ST-68U was used as a primary SR in the S-300PS before the 64N6 BIg Bird, more related to the SA-20 (S-300PM/PMU)

Could it be possible to add the ST-68U "Tin Shield" SR to the "required unit" as an option apart from the 64N6 that is present in the definition lua?

In the S-300PS 54K6 cp.lua, line 16, where the "depend on unit" is defined, add the "SAM SA-5 S-200 ST-68U "Tin Shield" SR" as a unit required.

Something like: "depends_on_unit = { { { "S-300PS 40B6MD sr" } }, { { "S-300PS 64H6E sr" } }, {{"SAM SA-5 S-200 ST-68U "Tin Shield" SR"}},}"

Due to the miles-km conversion bug that affect the 64N6 (resolved in the EWR luas), the Tin Shield in far more correct for now as in 2.7.7.15038.

Thanks in advance.

+1, so far from what I've seen, the Tin Shield (all variants) are used as either general purpose EWRs (feeding into an IADS) or as a 3D acquisition RADAR for the S-300PT and S-300PS.

AFAIK, for our version of the S-300 (which is the S-300PS [SA-10b "Grumble"] the RADAR should be the 5N59S ["Tin Shield B"] with the 5N64S ["Big Bird B"] being its direct successor (and used in exactly the same role).

One thing is for sure is that the Tin Shield (any variant) shouldn't be associated with any version of the S-200 [SA-5 "Gammon"] like it is currently (and yes, that includes Syrian ones).

Wanted to bump this, it's been over 2 years since this radar released and it still cannot be used in either of the 2 main roles it has in real life.

For clarity, those roles are:

  • A general-purpose early warning radar, where it can be seen at numerous early warning radar sites, including sites covered by current and future maps.
  • A search/acqusitition radar for the S-300, as with the case of the 40V6M mast-mounted version introduced in DCS 2.9.0.46801. Though it has largely been superceded by the 5N64 Big Bird

At the moment it is limited to being a search/acquisition radar for the S-200, a system that it's completely inaccurate for (including the Syrian S-200s that our one is supposedly based on - see this post, though do note that in recent imagery the S-200 sites appear empty, so best use Google Earth Pro).
