Decoy option for Cruise Missiles

[+Flanker562]

Does it actually work? And if it does work how do you get AAA and SAMs to shoot at it, or is it mainly working against ships?

_{It should work, as long as the AAA and SAM launcher unit's data files contain the following declaration: MissileDefense=TRUE}

And that's part of the DetectSystem correct?

[+Fubar512]

I'd place it in the weaponsystem entries.

Okay, as a test yielded a Tunguska shooting down a JSOW, and I'll do that too.

I've been messing around with it for awhile. This is what I do. I have a Cruise Missile that has Is Decoy checked and give it low ECM Strength with no Warhead. It's a Decoy. Of course, This is done through the Weapons Editor.

 

While in Flight, Use your RWR and hold out for as many Tracking Beams as possible. Then let them fly! It's a great way to find out the layout of Your Enemy's Air Defences.

 

Great fun with a B-1 or B-52.

Cool.. that was my intent anyway, though it would make the TALD a reality for loadouts now...

Okay so it does work, though it seems (through game logic) that guns work only for this (CIWS, etc.) but I setup four 2S6s that managed to shoot down my JSOWs. Funny enough the decoy gets through as it's powered but I think not powering the flight will allow them to shoot it down or at least attempt:

Okay some test results so far:

 

Pantsyr has the ability to shoot down JSOWs with missiles and guns

Tunguska can shoot down JSOWs with guns.

Eric, I can fix the Tunguska so it uses both guns and missiles in an anti-missile role.

 

The SA-10 and SA-11 systems also have a secondary anti-missile role.

[+Flanker562]

Okay, I configured the SA-10 already, but yeah if the Tunguska can that would be appreciated...

And a request regarding this topic, can anybody whip up a 3D model of the ITALD?
