Yes, I tried all of them, I have had some great times in the SA-3 and SA-2, I am also able to operate the SA-4, however I am not a fan of it. wink
I have had a lot of fun trying to get Gerry Powers in both the SA-2F and SA-2E, however I am pretty bad in scenarios like Operation Linebacker-II or El Dorado Canyon. Either the SEAD get's me with it's ARMs or I don't get a hit against any target, as I try to keep On Air Time short which messes up my shooting. biggrin
I like the SA-5 most, as it has some neat features, like the home on jam and the ability to launch as many missiles as the launcher can hold in a single salvo (sometimes very usefull against an SR-71).

However, I am slowly getting better with all the systems especially against SEAD yep

dude... please be aware! hit one target in ashuluk , it not same as u could hit target it scenario's biggrin
u have to join in scenario's like linebreak II for upper your skill's!
if u can't hit one target in line break II with sa-2 or sa-3 ,u are still beginner in there thumbsup

Hpasp, could you possibly put the SA-5 in as a historically-inaccurate option for the Vietnam and Egyptian missions? I'd like to see how it would perform.

It would be great, I vote also for this. There are only a few scenarios for my most favorite system.

I will think it over...
... usually USAF is acting specifically against SAM types in the theater of action.

If we put some new systems in a scenario, than in reality than USAF would fly differently...

... but I will give it a thought.

guyss... 1 question... as you see 2 s-200 missile launch at one moment in this piicture...

so why we cant in sam simuator launching 2 missile at 1 moment ? dizzy

In Ashuluk to reduce the live firing practice costs, it was a common practice that two batteries launched against the same drone, one with inert warhead.

Now, I heave encountered a real problem whit this Sim,also!It's about my favorith SA-5 Gammon! I just can't shoot a single missile in Hungarian scenario beacouse the firing buttons are complitly DEAD in it! I understand that it's a training mission whit no real rockets meant to be launch, as I've allredy play it whit "dvina`s" and "volkhov`s"! And it`s preatty annoying, mad I must say, beacouse there wasn`t a word about procedure for that mission in manual for sa-5! Neither was there anything that I could find about it on this forum. sigh So if anybody could help...I will appreciate it,greatly!;) See you guys and... sorry for bad English!:(


This is quite a complex question to be answered...

... while the Dvina/Volhov/Neva systems were compromised to the west relatively early, the Vega was quite an enigma for the west during the Cold War.

Consequently it was forbidden for the Vega crew to illuminate any civilian plane, as it could have been possibly equipped with HF recording equipment by the CIA.
(The first Volhov signals was recorded by the CIA above Berlin, aboard a civilian passenger plane...)

For the Vega crew, a different practice method was developed, called K7.
(you can find the relevant switch in the sim easily)

In K7 mode, the RPC would emit low powered signals towards a close-by special K7 tower, that will simulate the targets Doppler effect by emitting the signal back towards the RPC & the launchers.



So practice was like; switching the RPC into K7 mode, rotate it exactly towards the K7 tower, after detecting the simulated incoming plane, you could practice electronic launches against it.

(Currently this mode is not simulated, but it is one of the future candidates...)

The full range capability of the Vega system was not practiced in Ashuluk.
Hungarians had only one firing practice with the Vega, against two targets:
LA-17K D=75km H=8km
RM-207 D=67km H=16km

Your enemies were flying these missions in the knowledge, that the Vega system is not in the theater.
If Vega would have been there, they would fly the missions differently...

Is it normal, when target's doppler speed goes down (when it was destroyed, per example), the signal strenght indicator not to change it's indications? It's indications changed only by range to the target (incoming - up; receiding - down)?

May we have a bit more explanation about that???

Target RCS deterioration after a SAM hit is not simulated.

I know I ave said this 1000 times. But I'm going to learn this bad boy. I have got all of the others more or less down pat, I'm a little out of practice with the KRUG, but it wou;d take just a few minutes to re-learn.

Expect either a bunch of newbie questions or success reports!

Also, I'm not too much a fan of letting you shoot in missions like Linebacker with the Sa-5b, because it wouldn't be any fun!

Welcome to the Big Stick!




Contrary to other Soviet made SAM systems (SA-2/3/6), the US NAVY/HABU community had BIG respect towards the SA-5B Gammon system, during Operation El-Dorado Canyon. The jamming EA-6B's had to fly an ineffectively low racetrack, as nobody in CIA that time had a clue if the Benghazi SA-5B would be operational during the EDC raid...
thumbsup

Just remember to the Commander of the Soviet Union Air Defense, when he demonstrated to the engineers, what kind of SAM system they need to develop...



biggrin

PS: If you were living at the Eastern side of the Iron Curtain, than you will recognize, that this request should not be taken as a joke by the engineers...

... also this is the last BIG STICK before the emerging of the S-300 family, so if you learn to be proficient using it, than this digital panel should not surprise you.

Not sure whether it is a bug or not, but in any case it is suspicious.

I tried Giant reach scenario again, fired one missile against SR-71 so it started to jam.
Then switched GSN mode to POISK V VYKL. and fired remaining five missiles (5N62 was not turned off).
Roughly at the moment when SR-71 flew tangential path, so its Vr decreased near to zero, all five missiles even they were guided to the jamming source and not searched for a doppler signal, were lost. See attached 3DAAR.
Of course I had AS-2 lock and AS-RPC (target coordinater I got from IADS and jamming noise was visible on both speed/distance and spectrum indicators).

I am not sure whether low Vr has something to do with losing of missiles, but I do not know why they were lost.
