@currenthill  Hello, do you have plans to make the Buk M2 and M3 air defense systems and the S-125 Pechera 2D

 

I started the work on the Buk M3 but didn't have time to finish it before I the last release of the Russia pack. But it will most likely be included in the next.

[Ss500]

Cool, but what about making the S-500 or is that completely unrealistic at the moment?

Is it possible to make the SA-10 AND SA 5 fire on the ground?

Maybe S-500.

SA-10 and SA-5 irl cold launches. It uses a black powder gas generator to yeet the missile out of the container. The same approach is used for russian ICBMs as well as Peacekeeper in the US. Recently it was implemented on the SeaCEPTOR missile.

SA-5 does not cold launch.

HI @currenthill and @Ss500, There is already a mod with modernized version of BUK-M2, S-75, S-125, S-200, S-300 PS/V/VM/V4, and S-400 called High Digital Sam (HDS) from @LetMePickThat available on the DCS mod's forum.

I know @LetMePickThat has not updated it since months, but i'm still trying my best to make it work with the latest DCS version and to make it match the real performance in regards to the OSINT informations we've got. About the S-500 there are still no accurate informations about it.

@currenthill your work is very impressive, the 3D models are great, but i still have doubts about performances of anti air defence missiles,  they outperforme most of the current ingame missiles, like the SM6. I've take a look at the lua files, and all the parameters available in it, and i think you have overpowered the "cruise" time, the maximum speed, the guidance system (the missile is already lock on you when fired from the ship , and disregards the ship's radar which cannot see you anymore because you're just flying  behind a mountain...but the missile still continue is flight towards you and following your movement behind the mountain...)
I've take a look at the data about that missile on Wiki, and all related articles....yes there are a lot of expectations about performances update, anti ship capacity,...but there are no real data, just expectations...
It is your work, i'll respect it, I only made this remarks because i expect that those weapons made for DCS still remain "real".

Would it be possible to add the surface to surface configurations/modifications of the SA-5 to UKR and SA-10 family to RUS?

 

There have been many reports online of both sides using those SAMS in a surface to surface configuration.

UKR uses their modified SA-5's to give them a longer range strike capability and RUS using older SA-10 family missiles to augment their SS-26's and 21's due to dwindling supplies.

I've noticed the SM-3s keep detonating long before intercepting incoming missiles like the DF-21 when I setup scenarios.

I've said it before. For every update I'm going through all the weapons and radars and updating them. For example, the SM-3 will behave differently in the upcoming USA pack update.

That is a tremendous amount of work for a single person.

[Ss500]

@currenthill I also wanted to ask if you will be working on some kind of missile defense system, for example arrow 3 and so on, and you also said that you are working on the buk m3, will there be a model for 12 missiles since there is a photo confirmation of such a system, and it is possible to somehow make the s300 fire on the ground?

[Ss500]

[Ss500]

currenthill do you have plans to make a Ukrainian Neptune complex? version for Earth-to-Earth for 400 Kilometers and 1000 kilometers?

Tochka-U/SS-21 Scarab, how realistic is it to shoot it down in real life?

Since I have only seen one photo of a Tochka-U/SS-21 Scarab shot down in Ukraine

Flight ceiling is about 20 km with 0,5-1 km/sec speed is easy to catch with DCS SAMs.

In real life it's more harder

In life, you can intercept with the help of 300, I think, since it most likely will not intercept buk m1-2

I imagine IDF mods will add the Arrow to their SAM pack at some point. Their Iron Dome and David's Sling are pretty awesome

They refused to add Arrow-2 and -3 because they count these systems too overpowered for DCS war theatre, unfortunately

it makes sense though. its either made to intercept things like it does irl(i.e. really high) but then completely useless as nothing flies that high 

or its made to intercept things that are in dcs, making it wildly overpowered

the range is allegedly 2400km

[tripod3]

yes but arrow-2 is 50km H and 100km radius so it is ok for DCS

Same reason why High Digit Sam's didn't include the S400 into their main pack I believe. I think you can get it separately though.
