Dusty Rhodes Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) I ran some tests this morning and noticed that many of the SAM and AAA radars are in the stowed position/not running. They only activate when an aircraft comes into it's radar range circle. This is unrealistic as how would they know the aircraft is in radar range if the radar isn't on. Is this done on purpose to save calculations/frame rates or is this an oversight? The TOR, Tunguska, Shilka are just a few that I tested. I did not run all the SAM/AAA thru the tests, though I did also do the Roland Radar and it was up and running. I could understand if the Air Defense was data linked like you could do in Janes F-18, but to my knowledge it is not. Any help on this?

GGTharos Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 SAM AI and behavior is probably up for review sometime up in the distant future. As for it being unrealistic ... does it look unrealistic to you out of the cockpit when they start shooting at you? ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Dusty Rhodes Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 ROFLMAO well of course it does! :):) Point taken. Just looking at the big picture and how things are to work. It would be wonderful if we could data link IADS like in Janes F-18.
