Korea '80s Theater
-
- DPRK never had SA-13 or SA-9 but for balance reasons I would apply SA-9, especially for the best units.
- DPRK never had SA-4 (it was only WPACT…!) and SA-6, but also in limited qty. you can apply SA-6.
- As MANPAD only SA-7 and SA-14 should represent the elite.
- SA-5 in RL is deployed at one site with multiple target channels (Check SAMsim manual.) Try to put them as close as you can do to model their target channel distribution. In RL two sites were built.
Battery group/batteries, 1 battery = 1 target channel
North Korea 1987-1/2, 1990-1/2- DPRK had only SA-2 and SA-3
- It is a good approach to create battalions with or without AD so you can mix them to create a larger formation where the combat / AD vehicle ratio is better.
- Likely nobody plays under level 3 difficulty. In this case both sides use 12 slots for battalions. On Veteran level 14 is used by the opponent an ace 16 while the weaker side have access only 10 and 8 slots respectively. Use this “ladder” to define the composition of the units. So if you wish to provide AD to any unit they should be in the 0-7 slots because they are available on every diff. level.
- For DPRK only T-55/62.
- For Soviet units, best units SA-13 + ZSU-23 with T-80 + BPM-2. Second echelon is T-72 + SA-9 + ZSU-23 + BMP-1 / BTR. SA-15 and SA-19 are post Cold War systems.
- For Soviets SA-4/6/9/13 as army air defense is OK. SA-11 was deployed only from 1987 and only in HUN and East GER.
- S-300PS or maybe PT was deployed near Vladivostok.
- PRC literally did not have any usable army air defense SAMs in '80s except MANPADs and maybe Crotale. I can’t recall when they were sold to them.

Not strictly an 80s, but LKTO + focuses on early F16 times (15, sometimes 30, but less) . Not sure it matches your expectations though.

If the post 2000 things are removed and F-16s does not have AIM-120 likely I like, as long as the SA-11,19 and SA-15 are very limited any only Russian things. Same case for SA-10s.
Until the end of Cold War SA-19 and SA-15s were not deployed and only two SA-11 brigades were deployed. One in Hungary, one in East Germany.
To me the 80s means that only a very few planes had PGMs (except AGM-65), AIM-7 era even for F-15s, no HOBS and lots of dogfight.
Queen of the strike planes F-111FAnd yeah, only legacy SAMs.
Strike means flying at lower using iron bombs, CBUs and your only PGM tool is AGM-65. The only real effective SEAD F-4G. -
@molnibalage Then LKTO + is for you. You’ll simply find Fox 3 on F18C/D, simply because once again I forgot to translate them in A/B. In that case you could fast edit the DB, especially if you’re going solo all the way.

Had to rely on AWACS to know where the threats were. Started out with 29 on target area but it didn’t last too long.
4 Mavs on targets and my wingman stopped attacking after 2 Mavs and came back on formation (don’t ask, don’t tell). Good hits.
Mr SA-7 tried to ruin the day but I happened to see the launch right in time to seduce the missile.
Satisfying instant.
Then got a pair of 21 to watch, but Tomcats seem to have frightened them.

@molnibalage This is what i’m talking about!
No AMRAAMS, No air supremacy, No BS!! Just skill and planning! Lot of NOE Nav and strike within AAA engage zone!

Flavour.
