How well, the SAMSIM simulates the S-75M3 Volhov system?
Probably, this is the best free simulation available, but I'm aware of those points, where the system operation is simplified.
(RS/AS/AS-AP,RL-TV, ARU, RRU, etc)

If I would ever create an S-300PMU simulation, than it would be the best free SAMSIM available, but less authentic than the Volhov.

excuse me i dont understand ... why s-300 pmu simulation can be less authentic than the Volhov.?
what about mim-104 patriot simulation ? it will be less authentic than the Volhov. too?


I can rate the simulation authenticity about the amount of information I'm aware of the system...
