There is no mention of the Military Asset Pack Sweden in your log. Only Russia, UK, Germany, Ukraine and the US. So I would advice you to check your installation of the Swedish pack.

Ok, I re-inserted it again, its in Openbeta/Mods/tech....and the game crashed before I could press, open game. No problem.

Re-named the Tech, Old_Tech, put ALL your MOD folders in and the game fires up, so now I'll just work through my files & folders to find the little sod that is messing things up,

THANK YOU for your patience, I've got this

Hi @currenthill I didn't find much online regarding the Swedish patriot variant, but I noticed the RB 103A & 103B have a significant interception range increase over current Pac-2/3 missiles. Since I'm trying to keep my wargames as close to real life as possible, I wanted to know if these numbers are a best representation of available data or if they're artificially buffed? I didn't expect a non-US variant of the same system to have such an increase in range and even beating out THAAD, although it might be the case given the age of the system.

Hoping you can give me a bit of insight there. Thanks!

Sounds like something strange is going on there. The Rb 103A is the PAC-2 GEM-T with a range of 160 km. The Rb 103B is the PAC-3 MSE with a range of 120 km. I just checked the configurations in the Swedish and US asset packs, and they are the same. The THAAD Interceptor is configured for a 200 km range. But you have to take the radars into account (being able to pickup targets earlier and withstand ECM). The Swedish LvS 103 uses the AN/MPQ-65 while the US pack contains the AN/MPQ-65, AN/MPQ-65A and the LTAMDS. The German pack is equipped with the old AN/MPQ-53 and older PAC-2 GEM.

My apologize if I spoke too soon. I haven't actually updated to the new patch, I was just going off the data shown on your site. What I was referring to was the purported range of 122nm for the Rb 103B and 140nm of the Rb103A.

Like the other two systems, I assumed this was the max range at which the Lavett would engage an incoming target, which is higher than the 80nm and 65nm range of the Pac2/Pac3 and 108nm of the THAAD.








Perhaps the Rb 103A does not actually fire at a distance of 140nm? Sorry, I could have tested it before inquiring.

Haha, I think you spotted a bad conversion between units. I primarily use the metric system and somehow managed to screw up the conversion on the one-pager.

I never intentionally buff any weapon systems performance. But I only use OSINT and such sources can give very scattered answers on a certain system's performance.  

The one-pager on my website has been updated now.

Haha, ok, that would explain it! Sorry for the extra trouble, I'll make sure to test these things first next time.

Great update to the Swedish pack. Looking forward to further updates. 

Curious, are you planning to add the Typhon missile system to the US Assets?

The map of Afghanistan turns out to be very beautiful. I want to make a small company. Today I watched the pilots' stories on YouTube. They say that the caravans with weapons were coming from Pakistan. They hunted them.

 

Where on YouTube please?

Haha, thanks! I did go through the page a couple of times before I released the update. But obviously I still missed it. I'll add it.

Is anyone having issues getting the Iskander SRBM to behave correctly?  I get it to launch but it acts more like a high flying cruise missile or something in its flight path.

Since 2.9.5 update, the DCS core game has been switched to a new parameters system and encrypted, causing all previously created ballistic missile mods to break. Currenthill has not yet found a definitive fix for that issue , so he has provided a temporary fix as you can see at the moment.

[Zahnatom]

@currenthill would you be interested in modeling the THAAD-ER (also known as Evolved THAAD Interceptor, ETI)?

i made a mesh for the updated 2 stage booster

Spoiler

ideally combined with the kill vehicle that you already have for the regular interceptor

on Cam Another Patriot system neutralized by Iskander in real life. We would like to see the same in our Iskander mod. changing RCS for Iskander missile could help to get a closer realism.

set the skill level to average and you get the same result....

I never bother to change the skill level. Should not be a matter of change skill level. This is the 5th confirmed Patriot system destroyed. The iskander missile mod should be tweaked instead.

 you "never" but "should" ...  

In this world advocated as DCS World things can be simulated up to a point. Then there are some levers that mission designers "should" pull to try to achieve a result as close to real life as possible. "Skill level" is indeed one of those levers you "should" consider using it.

On another hand.. i'm not by far any military specialist, not even close.... but changing RCS for a missile up to a point which makes it virtually invisible to radars, cannot fall on the other side of reality ? ... by making it actually invulnerable?

1st its not an entire patriot system. its a remote station with just launchers and no radar. (not my assessment)

2nd "destroyed" is not entirely accurate

3rd its not an issue with patriot. it has shown multiple times that it can deal with iskander and other ballistic missiles like iskander(including kinzhal) just fine

 

if that video is what you want to base all of your info on then the accuracy of the iskander-m missile should also be greatly reduced as it missed by a few hundred feet
