WhiskeyRomeo Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I was just about to post a BUG report about what seemed to be a Radar glitch similar to the TEWS/RWR phantom signal. I had been out doing Su-25T SEAD missions and was hitting some BUK sites. A few times I'd see a radar site "pop-up again" after I thought I has killed the search radar. So I went back and looked at the situation more carefully: Inbound to the attack point - 2 search radars picked up by Fantasmagoria Just after SAM launch warning - 3 radars now picked up by Fantasmagoria !! It took a while but I finally figured out that in 1.12 you'll see the BUK Launchers own Tracking radar showing up on Fantasmagoria after a launch. Very nice touch ED!! ^5
GGTharos Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Definitely not a bug. It is as it should be. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

Guest IguanaKing Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Cool!!! Fire Dome will probably show on my RHAW now. :icon_supe Edit: DOH!! I guess it always did show up on my RHAW, now that I think about it.

ARM505 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 ..and (notably) they do specifically mention that it can engage Mavericks/Walleyes, and track artillery or mortar shells, unless I read it wrong! Actually, they make it (the Buk) sound like the be-all and end-all of missile systems! Interesting, thanks.
ED Team Groove Posted February 13, 2006 ED Team Posted February 13, 2006 Tracking arty shells wont help it because i dont think it can intercept a volley of HEs or Subammo :) But nice technology indeed. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
GGTharos Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Actually the US Army is already deploying anti-arty defense. If you can track and intercept an ARM, you can track and intercept an arty shell ... which is no different than a TBM in flight path, only in size.

nscode Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 What I would like to see is SAMs turning off their radars and deploying other anti-detection tactics. Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
