Default Re: SAM Question

"Find one that has the same sort of characteristics in the OOBS and then work your new one in from there."

That is exactly what I was doing but it has occurred to me that if some sort of official convention was available I would like to hear about it. Besides by reviewing the stats I got the impression that different OOB designers followed different conventions, so the choice of what to pick up as a benchmark may be complicated in some cases.

"Which type of "SAM" are you asking about? The small man portable type SAM of the larger variety?"

Short range systems basically, like SA-7/14/16/18 IR MANPADS, somewhat bigger vehicle mounted IR systems like
SA-9/13 and short range radar guided systems like SA-19 and Roland. I am not overtly concerned with the bigger radar guided SAMs like SA-2/3/10 and such.
