I have been testing blue side Hawk batteries in the desert map and have noticed that the location seems to have something to do with whether the missile launchers, radar and supporting AAA guns will show up in a mission. I believe that a large, static site like a SAM battery must be located near a logistics node such as a city or some of the vehicles may not appear in a mission. Further, the computer seems to prioritize inert, static objects such as the ICC, then the radars, then the AAA guns and finally the launchers if the entire system is not present during the mission.
My Hawk batteries consist of two separate locations in the Desert_targets.ini file and consist of three launchers, one ICWAR, one HIPIR, one ICC and one supporting AAA gun of the computer's choice. The radius of each location is 200 meters, the centers are 100 meters from each other and the batteries are arranged in two half circles that complement each other.

View File Crotale SAM system
CROTALE mod by GKABS
1) Historical background
The Development of the Crotale Surface-to-Air Missile system began in 1964.
The Crotale is a very short range SAM system (Sol-Air à Très Courte Portée or SATCP).
It was said that South Africa paid 85% (France: 15%) of the first step development
costs of this SAM System. The Crotale was named "Cactus" for South Africa.
Thomson-CSF for the radar and the electronics, and Matra (Engine division) for the
R440 missile were the two prime contractors.
South Africa received the first systems in 1971.
In 1971 France placed the first order for operational tests: 1 Acquisition Unit and
2 Firing Units.
The Armée de l'Air bought this SAM system in order to protect their airfields.
The Crotale in this first opérational version (Crotale 1000) was above all engaged
for the Egypt-Libya and Angola wars in the 1980s.
Further developments were launched for several customers among the 15 ones which
ordered this system.
2) Installation in your Strike Fighters 2 installation(s)
There are 2 options :
- The "Sand" version in order to put in any "Desert" type SF2 install,
- The "Green" version for any "European" type SF2 install.
So you'll find them into 2 separated packs ready to play :)
