Harm TOO Help- What am I missing?

[Jimd0586]

Hi all.

 

I have watched countless videos on the HARM TOO and am having problems. When I switch to the HARM page on the left DDI and select TOO I am not seeing any Hostile radar signatures. In the track I uploaded I did survive and destroyed the SA site (I had to placed, the SA6 never fired... no clue why), but I don't know why I am not showing the SA site on the HARM-TOO display. I tried the RAID select, cage/uncage... I am just not getting it. Anyone able to help me understand what it is I am doing incorrectly?

 

Thanks.

I believe you need to setup the sam site with all the vehicle needed a Search/Track Radar for example, the sa6 launcher DCS version alone is not enough.

Indeed, the SA-6 launcher itself has no radar at all and thus can neither fire nor show up to the HARM, you need to place the Kub radar vehicle in the same group. The SA-15 has a much shorter range.

Relatedly the AI in DCS has a bit of a sixth sense as to not even use their search radar unless you are reasonably close to its detection range, so that's why the SA-15 doesn't show up quickly.

To be clear, to setup in Mission Editor a typical SA6 SAM system:

group units (you can try add/sub units if you like) all in the same group

 1 x SAM SA6 KUB (STR)

4 x SAM SA6 (TEL)

2 x Ural 375

1 x GPU APA 80 ZIL 131

1 x URAL 375 Mobile C2

Or just use default templates avaible in editor.

Thanks all. I figured it out two fold... one was that I indeed needed the full SAM setup with all the players in that type, the second was then following the instructions on youtube. I wasn't tracking with my HARMS because they were not tracking me!  Thanks for the help/
