SAMs not emitting or engaging….
-
Has anyone encountered this before?
I’ve created a TE to practice Package creation and timing. It’s similar to the tutorial example in the User Manual. I’ve created an SA-11 battalion and an SA-17 battalion near the target. I’ve used mission commander to make sure their orders are air defense, and they’re not moving.
However, I’ve flown the mission twice now and both times at no point did the two SAM units emit or attempt to engage. I had the HTS / HAD in view most of the time. Is there any reason why they would not engage (they’re definitely on the other team…).
Planning the mission and sorting timing etc was almost as fun as flying. Love this sim. Cheers.

Heh, this +100.
As for the unit not engaging, do you have them set to air defend a specific object? They can be finicky, if there’s nothing around where they are they sometimes just sit there stupid. Don’t know if this is the cause or not, but it’s a possibility. Cheers.

Did you set the SAM site on enemy side or your side?

Number one, they don’t want to get shot any more than you do…
…number two - you have to give them something to shoot at. If you rage in totally silent they will ignore you some of the time. You need to bait them into targeting you so you can shoot them…otherwise they will likely treat you as non-aggressive and not worth the bother.

Yeah, I’ve actually re-run the TE a few times and the SA-17’s are definitely engaging now - not sure what’s changed, but I wish I hadn’t asked for it…. I keep getting shot down!!

Setting yourself up against the combination of SA-11 and SA-17’s in the same vicinity is a Death Wish!!!

Bear in mind that the sim is also “smart” enough to “learn” from you over a few engagements…so it might also be that they have been baiting you, as well. So…now it sounds like it’s time to change tactics on them.
