Default Re: Future Combined SAM/ATGM Systems?

Seems to work with SAMs given a HEAT value, but the accuracy would need to be considerably lowered in most cases. Laser guided systems shouldn't be impaired, but SAM IR and Radar seekers are optimised for aircraft signatures.

As with the AP idea the weapon would need to be a "custom" so it didn't mess up the rest of the OOB ie your Stinger teams suddenly all have a very expensive, relatively ineffective ATGW and can't shoot at aircraft! Equally with my previous Stormer example it would be left with (say)2 "Starstreak ATGM"s that it couldn't fire at aircraft.

I wasn't trying to create a new "Combined SAM/ATGM", only trying to simulate a system that has this inside game mechanics!

I chose Starstreak because it could currently be used as an ATGM given its laser-guided APHE KEM. As I said on the other thread because it doesn't have a proximity fuze it is not a "miss"ile but a "hit"ile.
