Ground to Air Missiles - Possible?

Recommended Posts

Ok, so i was just wondering if there were actually any Ground to Air missiles? Like SAM's or anything on an armored vehicle that would engage aircraft? If not, would something like this be possible? (i'd think it would be since we've got things like Stingers already that track and destroy air targets. Maybe once the tools are out?)

Also, if this kind of thing is already in-game and i've just missed it during my game-play, then plz pardon my ignorance. goodnight.gif

There isn't such a thing in the game, but such things are more than possible. I believe it's as simple as switching a 'target air' entry in the config file from 0 to 1. ArmA doesn't care where you are launching the missile from..

The A.A unit using missiles would probably be available when tool will be released.

Those unit existed in OFP (DKMM Tungunska for example), but in this game one thing is bad, the plane & chopper don't use electronic, I.R & Radar jammer, & contermeasure like chaff (Radar) & flare (I.R)...

Also in CPP there is no line about furtivity to frequency & detection from radar for the units... Example in CPP : Furtivity_to_radar,  Furtivity_to_IR,  Furtivity_to_sound New line in CPP request

Thus the missile can not change trajectory when launched...

And if your AA is in a team of 4 tanks, they all shoot in one target at time (unless you use script like those made by RKSL)...

The A.A missiles were not good supported in OFP, and the bug are still in ARMA...

Seconde point the AI men using Stinger will never try to pick up ammo even if a box is near him...

So even if somehone add AA unit, the reactivity and realism of those unit won't be equal of the reality

Look for Mando missiles script.

It can pretty much simulates any kind of missile behaviour. Prettty awsome if you ask me...

Thanks GranQ for this old & outdated "Holiday And Weekend Killer" wink_o.gif

Bamse RBS23 is a better way to target & hit an aircraft!
