fixed SA-2 SAM can track through terrain

[Viper 13]

DCS 2.9.2.49940 Open Beta MT

Hi 

The SA-2 SAM hits without giving a RWR tracking warning after being masked by terrain
The target aircraft loses the radar spike while masking the Tracking radar
If you then climb above the terrain the missile will continue to track until impact, though this time without any RWR missile tracking indication
I created a simple mission to demonstrate the problem.

In screenshot 1, I have a spike from the SA-2 indicating a missile launch
In screenshot 2, I mask the Sam site with terrain and lose all nails from the SA-2 sam site
In screenshot 3, I rise above the terrain and the missile is continuing to track without anything showing on my RWR 
In screenshot 4, I get nails from the SA-2 search radar just before impact, still no missile tracking warning

There is something seriously wrong with the SA-2 tracking ability.
In this test I used the F/A-18C Hornet.
When the SA-2 launched I dived to mask the tracking radar, and then once masked I made a hard left turn.
The SA-2 continued to track my new heading even though I'm now masked by the terrain.
As I now had no spike from the SA-2 site,  I climbed back above the terrain and then received another the missile warning  followed by the missile hitting me

In this 3rd example the SA-2 tracks my planes 180' turn through the terrain

Thanks for all the tracks, I will take a look at this over the weekend.

Thank you for the multiple tracks, the first one I would suggest is ok, I see little movement in the missile while you are masked and once you pop up the missile then adjusts and hits you.

The second track though appears that the missile is tracking you fully masked. I have reported this.

Thanks!

Just an update, this is fixed internally now. Hope it will make the next update. Thanks!
