Gloom Demon Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Wikipedia states, that the SA-8 Gecko is capable of firing within 4 minutes after coming to a stop. However a column of these, which i tried engaging, while they were on the move, managed to open fire right after stopping with no apparent pause. Is this a bug? "Time to prepare for engagements from being in transit is around 4 minutes and missile reloading takes around 5 minutes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA-8 Edited November 6, 2013 by Gloom Demon AMD Ryzen 3600, Biostar Racing B850GT3, AMD Rx 580 8Gb, 16384 DDR4 2900, Hitachi 7K3000 2Tb, Samsung SM961 256Gb SSD, Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS X, Samsung S24F350 24'

"Time to prepare for engagements from being in transit is around 4 minutes and missile reloading takes around 5 minutes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA-8 No is not a bug. The air defences operators set the unit to be ready in few seconds. They only have to stop and lock-on. In a modern battlefield scenary the air defences are linked. So a comboy with an OSA been aware of you presence, could shot you while you still have not warning RWR. Could be deadly but still is not. The air defences still are not realistic, but is ok... I dont know how you set your units in the Editor... this reaction have relation with the skill unit, probably you have them as "exelent". Set the OSA as "average" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Lanzfeld Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 FYI... I know it is "in fashion" to say that Wiki is not a source but in independent testing on a broad range of subjects, Wikipedia has proven to be more accurate than encyclopedia Britannica ever was. Sorry to wander off topic.
maturin Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Wikipedia is a source.... when it is sourced. It just points the way to actual information, and does a fairly good job at it.
ENO Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Yeah well- when Wikipedia makes a sim then maybe ill play it. Until then just get as close as you can... Which is dcs. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
