IR SAM bug?

[Snailman 517]

Fellow Modders!

 

I have encountered a really nasty problem, and unlike previous ones, this one is blocking my path completely.

 

Somewhere, maybe on TW forums I read that there was a SAM bug that made missiles to fly almost straight up into the sky without lock. And, that it was fixed by TW somehow.

Recently when I revamped the Infantry SAMs, I found that they do the same.  Rear60s are OK, but Rear180 and AllAspect tend to do this. I set realistic missile flight data and somewhat realistic guidance stuff (very similar to what other mods use). About 50-60% of the Inf SAM are fired straight up, without guidance it seems. Radar SAM has no such problems, but I noticed that all stock SAM has 60 FOV and 135 Gimble. For IRM that's not acceptable, they guide themselves not guided by the radar. I have no idea what is causing this. No matter how good is the missile (100% resistance, 100% reliability and lock chance...) still does this stupidity...

Anyone had encountered this before? WTF is this?? I would have been ready in november with all the Strela series, but gave up fighting with this bug due to lack of time and RL.

Is there any IR SAM that works correctly?

I have encountered same problem some months back. I think the most critical parameters for IR SAMs are Seeker FOV, Seeker Gimble Limit and Seeker Track rate.

 

Which IR guided SAMs have this problem? Only MANPADS? I think SA-9 and SA-13 from SAM Pack are quite effective.

 

By the way, I'm also preparing a Red Side MANPADS pack which will fix the existing problems.

 

Check the MANPADS from Angola/South-West Africa terrain. Strelas and Iglas are a real threat there!
