I think that some how we missed the subject. The subject is " why the range DIAL indicator exists " and so why is useful to the operator.
The key word of my answer is " attitude " which means that you can easily understand what is the fling behavior of the target and also the insert of manual range in
certain conditions.


In Hungary during target practice, the Range Operator had to read out loud the target range (each km).

Is there any chance of you adding helicopters to SAM Sim? Ones that can hover and do pop-up attacks.

Helos are on the cards for Ashuluk.

So far it was a common knowledge that the S-300PS (SA-10B) can auto-lock on incoming HARM missiles,
but did you know, that the OSA is (beside auto selecting&preparing missiles) capable of auto-locking targets?
yep
