I wonder if it would be impossible to make the system work with a single console.. anyhow; it's an interesting thought, i would sure pay to handle that thousand-bomber raid. I understand that "Strategic" SAM's like the SA-5 (my hat off and a bow to those analogue-wizards who can operate it!!), SA-1, SA-10 and such are meant to be handled with a team. An interesting idea for a multiplayer mode, no? Thanks, Hpasp; you are the man!


Patriot weapon system is operated by one officer only (TCA).
The other is only overlooking his activity (TCO), while the third is operating the radio.
