upyr1 Posted July 4, 2024 Posted July 4, 2024 I know this has been brought up in the past, but I would like to know what ED is doing on this front, it would be nice to have the suppression part of SEAD to get modeled. Right now DEAD is our only option. Anyway once the death sticks start flying and stuff starts going boom it would be great to see air defense units start to shut down for some time. The supression flag would need to be calculated periodically and take the following into account unit type- I'd expect the crew of a gun like an 88MM would be more apt to panic than an SA-10. In short the system would need to take into account crew protection, system range, and maybe restart time. Crew training- I could see this working both ways, I could see a disciplined crew being more apt to stay and fight but I could also see a trained crew being more successful at turning their radars on and off. perceived threat types- While there should be clear limits on what a SAM crew would know, they need to have enough of an idea of what could be out there. For example a SAM crew in a historic mission where the Shrike is the most advanced ARM would behave slightly differently than a mission where they might face AGM-88s. 1
