Quick question about S75 system.
I've been goofing around with jamming and managed to guide missile into a jammer without ever turning on my own radar. Missile came within 30m and exploded. Is that even possible?
Also, somehow I saw my own missile on radar that's in passive mode. (unless it registers residue from command channel)


Yes. During Linebacker-II the Weasels were complained about not detecting enough target...

The missile and target channels are separated.
The missile carries an active beacon, so the missile channel is always receive-only.

You can switch the missile/target/both indication on the "A" screen.
(missile channel - R [down], target channel - C [up], both [default] - middle)
