About SA-5:
Don't think it is a bug, but a non-logical behaviour for me.
After target (P~0 in my particular case) was tracked by the CVM (AS-RPC), missiles were launched and go for the target. As target was maintaining constant speed, I switched off the AS-RPC and RPC continued to iluminate the target without automated tracking on any coordinate (V,epsilon, beta, distance). At this moment KRO signals appeared on tne indicator, which, I believe is not logical (the target was completely in the middle of Doppler spectrograph screen!). All three missiles missed (no mather that they passed <100 meters from the target). I double checked situation and when in no AS mode I switched to AS-3, KRO signals dissapeared... In fact in one of mine experiments I switched AS-3 in the moment, when the last missile passed the target (I thought she was lost), and at AAR it appears that target was destroyed with 1 m miss, but in 3DAAR it was not so:

There is an inherited issue of these scenarios.
Currently the SAM Simulator only simulates
FM modulated CW noise jamming.
In reality, there are ...
Denial Jamming:
- Barrage Noise Jamming
- Spot Noise Jamming
- Swept Spot Noise Jamming
- Cover Pulse Noise Jamming
- Modulated Noise Jamming
Deceptive Jamming:
- False Target Jamming
- Range Deception Jamming (Range Gate Pull Off)
- Angle Deception Jamming (Inverse Amplitude Modulation, Inverse Gain Jamming, Swept Square Wave Jamming)
- Velocity Deception Jamming (Velocity Gate Pull Off, Doppler Noise, Narrow-band Doppler Noise, Doppler False Targets)
- Mono-pulse Deception Jamming (Cross Polarization Jamming, Cross Eye Jamming)
... these methods are visible and effective on different SAM systems, but not simulated yet.
