SAM systems

[mudpi 10]

Hi All,

I'm trying to hunt down SAM models - to act as targets for mission, strangely there doesn't seem to be many about, There's a nice haw battery in the Swedish forces pack and a crotale in the French forces pack - other than that it's just the manpads.

Has anyone seen any others - there is a beautiful s-300/c-300 model that I don't think got finished and I think the same team was considering a patriot but sadly they look like they've disappeared.

The C-RAM addon might be an effective AAA model that you might want to look into using.

It is not a "traditional" Surface to Air Missile system, but can be coded to function very effectivly as a Anti-Aircraft Artillery Piece.

Will the Tigris/Cheetah/Shilka not be effective targets as they are already in the game?

good idea,

I've been rounding up some of the older A2 stuff (some really good models there!) and I'll play around with those - Ideally I was looking to set up a large static SAM emplacement. I like the idea of using powerful SAM systems like the Sa-10 as an excuse to limit player tactics and resources. I totally take your point regarding the current assets in the game I particularly like the old AA guns but large static long range SAM emplacements make such a juicy Spec-ops target.

It's weird it's like landing craft, I would of thought that there would be a huge demand for fixed SAM systems and radar sites, for mission makers <shrug>.

go figure.

I don't recall seeing such 'system' SAMs in vanilla A2, but as far as radars, expect a PM tonight!

look up the SA-2 launchers. Also SA-6's were done I think. Oh worth checking is the "big-bird" radar system and all the radar and airbase paraphernalia that chap made.. really nice models with excellent features.

coooooool

Ahhh its such a shame "hand of Moscow" was the fellas name, he made some incredible models, but I don't think he released either the patriot model or the s-300, I've picked up his radar stuff though -such detail. I imagine that's why he didn't release the other stuff, huge amount of work and obviously a perfectionist - shame.

Still I just love what people are producing - looking forward to individual mods as much/more than official addons.

this is really nice like to that in A3 to do that in A2 is damn good to have it in A3 would be even better lol

Just note that the models/vehicles themselves didn't have actual "radar dialog" functionality, that was through the AniRadar mod mentioned in the first video's description; I'm also not aware of -- if you were using the SAM sites/vehicles as targets -- whether he made any destruction effects/models for them in A2. (Heck, I'm pretty certain that certain objects in A3 don't have them either...)

Can you give a link to the French Forces Pack?
