NATO SAM Question
snapper 21 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hi Everybody I have a question about Blue side SAMs. Why are the Seeker FOV so small? Looking at the Red weapons that come with the game, they seem to have a seaker FOV starting at 60 (SA-2 etc). While if you look at SeaDart, Seawolf and RIM-2E they seem to have FOV around 5. Which in the original SF2 data is what seems to be a normal set up for air to air missiles. Now I am not saying any of these figure are wrong, I haven't a clue what the real life figure should be, or what the game needs. I just remember reading a post a while ago that NATO SAMs were porked, and started wondering if that a ground launched missile needs a bigger FOV to engage a target. What do you lot think? Cheers Snapper 21 -

NATO SAM Question
snapper 21 replied to snapper 21's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hi Fubar512 Thanks for the explanation, I have learned a new thing today. So lookng again at the various Data ini Seawolf: SeekerGimbleLimit=46.000000 SeaDart: SeekerGimbleLimit=125.000000 RIM-2E: SeekerGimbleLimit=46.000000 RIM-7; SeekerGimbleLimit=90.000000 SA(N)-9: SeekerGimbleLimit=360.000000 TKs SA-2B: SeekerGimbleLimit=135.000000 TKs SA-8: SeekerGimbleLimit=135.000000 In my simple way of looking at things, I am quite surprised by the NATO weapons. If the SA-2B is a standard, then I would have thought that all the others should have been the same or greater. Is that right, or am I looking at it to simply? I think I need to experiment.

Ship & Weapon Question
snapper 21 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Hi All As the new SF2 NA is coming, I have been playing with different ships, and have noticed that flying along at 3000 ft some ships don't engage me with missiles till 3 nautical miles after there guns have already fired. I am using waterworld terrain and the CGN-25 USS Bainbridge with RIM-2E missiles. Is this just a game thing at the moment, or do I need to do some ini editing? If so what are the units for radar range and missile launch range in? USS Bainbridge, is only an example, I get it with other ships as well. The Tico cruiser seems to start firing as soon as I have taken off! Though I havent been hit yet at that range. Thanks for any info, ideas Snapper 21 -

Well it's official
snapper 21 replied to Romflyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I hope the pictures of ships in formation is from a campaign, not just a single mission. Now that would be cool, especially if Vietnam gets that update as well. -

snapper 21 replied to Romflyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Being in my own little world, I would have thought TK would have been after new customers, an so offered at least the A-7, F-4 and maybe even the F-15A as flyable. -
Well it's official
snapper 21 replied to Romflyer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
In my humble opinion, the game will be set before 82, the picture of USS Peterson (DD-969) has no Phalanx CIWS, which according to wiki was added after July 82. Thanks Sherlock Holmes (Snapper 21) -
