missing mission file S-300s and Patriots not doing anything

[CaptainCaleb]

Hello everyone! (I think its probably me not a bug) When I make a mission and tell an S-300 site to be my enemy, and a Patriot site to be my friendlies, when an enemy jet comes into my airspace (in range of the Patriot) it will do nothing!? And same happens when I fly near the S-300... nothing happens... so is there anything special I have to do to make it work? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

SAM systems that utilize multiple vehicles like the S-300 and Patriot need all of their respective vehicles in the same group.

So for the S-300, you would need to add the LN (Launcher), SR (Search Radar), TR (Tracking Radar) and a CP (Command Post) all together in the same group for them to work.

As an alternative you can use the S-300 template that's available to use and ingame.

No, not really.

Out of the six available Patriot vehicles it only requires three to function (STR, ECS, LN).

Same goes for the S-300: it needs Flap Lid (either one), any SR (Big Bird or Tin Shield), and any launcher.

Not just on the map, they also need to be in the same vehicle group.

Then ED should update their manual...

But good to know.

Whoever tagged your thread with "missing mission file" is right.

The manual says that all the needed units must be in the same group. Not that the group must contain all of the available units.

Your suggestion of grouping them together is correct, of course; it's just me nitpicking.

The Captn is a brand new member, and one of the youngest ones, so please go easy on him!

My apologies! What I'm saying, there can be many variables at play. And it would be much easier to help if we could look at the mission file or a track replay.

@Minsky No need to apologise! Just wanted to give a heads up! 

@CaptainCaleb What Minsky means is that when a post gets tagged like that, and you have questions like these. Just take the mission file, and drag and drop it into your post. 

Same goes if you feel something's wrong when flying and have questions. Always add a track. You can always save a track when exiting a mission. There's a button. I'm sure you've seen it.  

This makes it so much easier to help! 

Cheers!
