rico Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Hello...I was wondering...I placed some SA-10/SA-3 in a mission, but they did not fire at me. I guess it is because I did not put them together with a surveillance radar?! Since when I placed a SA-10 template at the map, they reacted. And furthermore Tunguskas did fire at me (They have an surveillance radar at their own)...I just intended to clarify the issue...Thanks. Sincerely, Rico
EtherealN Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Yes, you need search and track radars.

Gunnergolly Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I've noticed that the search radars on the self propelled mobile SAM launchers don't indicate on my RWR. Only when they enter tracking mode and they launch a missile at me do I get any indication. The Shilka search radar also does not work and the German Gepard only seems to rely on its laser for gun aiming. Is this in the pipeline to be fixed ?....

Nixon Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Did you place them as movable objects or just ground vehicles?
Gunnergolly Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Just as ground vehicles providing protection for a moving convoy.

159th_Viper Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Did you place them as movable objects or just ground vehicles? They do not have to move :) They do however all have to form part of the same group - cannot have individual 'groups' making up the system - all individual units have to be in one group for the SAM system to operate. Edit: NM - I see you are responding to another query as opposed to the original. Edited July 20, 2011 by 159th_Viper Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Gunnergolly Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) All the fixed SAM systems seem to work ok. i.e.....They use their search radars which shows up on my RWR and once i'm within shooting range they then turn on their tracking radars, track me for a while and then launch their missiles. On the mobile launchers (Tor,Tunguska, Osa, Roland), even though they have search radars fitted, i'm receiving no search radar indication on my RWR. They just seem to go straight into the tracking mode and then launch. Is this how they're designed to work in game, as i'm guessing that in real life, they would try and avoid using their radars (even using data link) so as not to give their presence away until the last moment. However if the above mobile SAM systems where operating independently, then i would expect to see their search radars working on my RWR. In the mission editor is it possible to tell the SAM platform/Site to delay it's use of radar and launch only when the target aircraft is well within "no escape" range. Have been messing around creating scenarios within the mission editor to practice my SAM evasion. I've found that often they launch at maximum engagement range and are quiet easy to defeat just by turning away. If you find yourself well within their "kill" zone, then they are obviously much harder to defeat... Thanks.... .............................................................. edit....
