Thank you, that was the information I was looking for! This is a great forum, so many very knowledgeable people!
So, the reasons I can kill the U-2 with one missile is because we're using SA-2F and not SA-2A?
The reason I can kill 13 bombers over Vietnam in one mission, is because they're using only noise jamming and not modulated noise jamming. And no chaff?
The reason I can get so many kills in other missions, is because they don't try to avoid missiles?
- On the earlier systems, there were no APP (had to use paper charts), only had 1 missile guidance method selector (all three missiles used the same method), no K guidance method, long missile preparation time, no possibility to shoot low flying targets at all.
- Till the middle of 60's there were no attached P12/18 radars, just the plotting board.
- You has the possibility to replay the situations in a pleasant time, without life dangering threat. (Select one SAM battery around Hanoi, stick to it, and try to play all scenarios sequentially, each night at 2am only one, and see if your battery would survive...)
