New SAM AI changed but not changed?

[Andurula]

The dev log for the latest update mentioned:

 

• AI Ground. Added the ability for SAM to evade ARM (enabled by default, but can be disabled in Set Options - Evasion of ARM). Units that detect the missile will turn off their radar(s) and displace. Units that cannot move quickly will simply turn off their radar(s). The higher the skill level, the higher the likelihood that the air defence unit will react to the incoming ARM

I spent a few hours this weekend shooting HARM's at various SAM installations and never saw this "new" behavior.

The radars just keep tracking me until my HARM's kill them like they always did.

Tested in both "high" and "expert" levels.

for at least some it does seem like you do in fact have to add a "evasion of ARM" waypoint action.

A good suggestion and it is true that the templates I was using never had the option "evasion of ARM" turned on by default.

However, testing against the SA-6, SA-3 and SA-10 at expert level showed that they never turned their radars off.  To be fair, the SA-10 put a lot of attention into shooting down my HARM's 
 

I guess I could do exhaustive testing but for the moment it appears the function is not working.  Knocking out SAM radars with HARMs is still ridiculously easy.

If the option works, it could be interesting in conjunction with the harm, as the POS modes are still not implemented, this could cause crazy scenarios.
