Blackdog Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 Are there plans to update the SA-15 intercept capabilities? It seems currently whether or not an incoming munition can be targeted is based on whether or not DCS categorizes the target as a 'missile'. While different revisions of the real-life Tor have different capabilities, the real-life limiting factor of any particular version is likely the radar cross section of the target, and in that regard, if it can intercept a Hellfire (which it can in DCS), then it should also be able to address an incoming free-fall bomb -- and public information seems to support that (some versions anyway) can target free-fall weapons. In my experience (in the context of a virtual wing), the current situation creates bizarre artificial-feeling weaponeering meta during mission planning, artificially favoring free-fall bombs vs anything classified as a 'missile' vs SA-15 defended targets. 2
