In the file, you have SAMLauncher for example in the code below. Now the question is how does the game know which SAMLauncher to use?

In the file, you have SAMLauncher for example in the code below. Now the question is how does the game know which SAMLauncher to use?

 

The game determines which unit to use based on service dates and available FIXED SAM types. For example, if you have the SA-3 missile installed in your weapondata.ini, and the appropriate SAM launchers (SA-3QL, SA-3DL, SA-3BQL, etc.) are located within your ground objects folder, then the game engine will randomly use those and place them wherever there's a call out for a fixed-SAM battery using the service date as a control.

 

You also need to define the SAM type-specific radars, and network them to your launchers, so you won't encounter mixed batteries (SA-2s and 3s using the wrong radar, etc.)

 

There's a bug in the series that prevents Mobile SAMs from showing up, unless you redefine their groundobject role to "Mobile_AAA". Then they''ll be placed randomly, wherever there's a call out for AAA on the map.
