** UPDATED VERSION ON PAGE 3** Marked up map with SAM sites, air and helo bases etc

[Mr_sukebe]

I've just done some more testing.

With SAMs at 31 of the identified sites and additional smaller units at some of the airfields (e.g. Sa6s) and the mission is basically unplayable on my PC.  The GPU is fine.  The CPU is simply flattened.  I've just tried running the same mission on a dedicated server and then logging in, it was no better.

So I'm going to be sticking with the slimmed down version that I've uploaded earlier (v.3 and newer).

Yes, they are...look in the list from Essah

I must be blind, I only see HAWK, SA-3 and SA-5 on that list.

Removed duplication.

[Essah]

Updated

* I had moved Patriot and SA-2 locations to Hawk and SA-3 respectively, thinking it was a mistake given that the layout of the sites is of SA-3 and HAwk type, but I have now added it back in with clarification. Seems that Ugra did not create the correct unique layouts for Patriot and SA-2

* added additional sites reported.
* added some otherwise unmarked NATO radar sites

I had them removed for a while because I thought it was a mistake, and that's when Null was looking at it.

Love the positivity around this map and the support of the community!!

I've also created an in depth version of East Germany with SAM/EWR sites, Training Grounds and HQs. Infos on regiments and equipment used all in the IPs visible in the ME. Added some scripts like MIST, MOOSE, Skynet, CTLD and Splash Damage. Hope this helps future mission builders

Why didnt they use the elevation of Thüringer Wald and Harz for setting up elevated defenses

Updated list.

If the moderator hadn't merged my thread with the other one, my master list would have been OP on page one, but what do I know.

I've only found this kmz file with the postions of the SAM sites ColdWarIADS10182024.kmz

Could be a reference if the data is correct.

[Mr_sukebe]

Have updated my sandbox mission and have attached it if it helps anyone.  Key updates are:

• Added markings on the F10 map for locations of fixed Soviet SAM sites.  By fixed, that means the SA2, SA3 and SA5 sites.  SA6 are mobile and are NOT marked
• Added what appears to be the expected route(s) for a Soviet advance using the Fulda gap.  For that route, have added target points for rail bridges that would likely be used to supply forward Soviet units
• Tidied up the positioning of the SA2 and SA3 sites
• New AI quick reaction flights on each side

In the new few days, I'll be updating with pickzones and similar to aid with CTLD.

Germany - 1985 - v.4.miz

There should be a prepared SA-6 position south of Erfut. Clearly visible in historical satellite imagery. There should be another likely one here (though SAMSiteOverview has this as a prepared SA-8 site).

@Mr_sukebe hope you don't mind but I've updated your mission so that the blue units/groups are named correctly to show what they are rather than SA2/3/6 that  were showing incorrectly for blue assets. The numbers are a bit all over the place but at least on the map they are now named what the actual group is

Germany - 1985 - v.5.miz

Hey, that’s cool, go for it.

As mentioned, this is just a sandbox, with some of the groundwork done, so feel free to play with it and use it how you wish.

Is there a way to merge missions? I already started some work on one mission doing some maps markers and just want to transfer over all the other map markers from the one here for the sam sites and all.

If you mean within the mission editor, then Yes. Under one of the menu's in the mission editor is an option to "Save template to file" and "Load template from file", or similar. 

Use the save template to file option to save one of your maps. You can then import/merge it into another map by opening up the other map, and choosing load template from file, and choosing the template you just saved.

I mean I can see that for the units and all but I'm trying to do that strictly for map markers and those don't seem to transfer over.

You can open the Miz file with a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) and copy paste map markers to another Miz file.

Not directly. You have to open the .miz file with 7zip (or similar software; it's just a zip file), and edit the text file named "mission" in the zip.

Yes, indeed you are correct. Good point and my bad.
