radar systems and lauchers

[xracer]

I am wondering about a few things when making a mission.

 

How do i know which radar systems needs to be combined together with which launchers? Let take the Hawk M192LN. am guessing this is a launcher only and needs other equipment to be able to launch? Also a radar only unit can't possess any real treat exept when transmitting to a unit which understands it. I mean i cant find any good explainations on these matters in the docs. Its just a mixed up list of all kinds of units in there. Anyone which have total control of which units fits which units and which can operate alone?

Radar system and launcher share the same name, for hawk you have HAWM M192LN, which is the launcher platform, and two radars HAWK SR AN/MPQ-50 and HAWM TR AN/MPQ-46 (you need both for HAWK to operate).

You cannot combine radar and lanucher of different SAM system.

The biggest help should be the build in encyclopedia.

Ok thats a start so i need both radars for that launcher to work. Anyway the encyclopedia's info is another matter...seems like most tech info like ranges etc. on the systems are available on the internet, but i definately think ED should have put more info like which units needs to be present to make a complete system in the manuals. Thats of basic importance for the mission making. Obviously i can use hours and hours to try different setups to see what works, but its alot of wasted time.

 

Thanks anyway for the info!

There's a SAM template thread in the Research forum that is how ED got/confirmed a lot of the SAM system vehicle package information. Could be very informative.
