Default Re: SAM Question

All three are interrelated and each affect the game for different reasons. For the purposes of knocking down an aircraft HEK and HEP have a greater affect but WH size is used for many things, resupply from a ammo dump for one though that isn't a main issue it is still and issue so cannot be ignored. You want to get the WH size not too big and not too small. Sound , for some weapons is keyed to WH size but I'm not sure if that factors in for SAMs

The thing to do is build some test units in the game and then set up a test range and see how this all interacts. I know this sounds a bit vague but as I said, SAM's were set up years ago and I wasn't directly involved in that part of the process and until yesterday nobody had asked about them and I cannot find any notes specific to them and ATM I'm busy with the WW2 patch.

When I have more time to dig into this I will and put a better answer together. I'm just not in a position ATM to drop what I'm doing.

However, FWIW here is a data base dump of all 646 SAM's in the game ordered by WH size. As I've said, this hasn't been touched really for years so I have no doubt you will find errors where the same missle is different from one nation to another. These are things we fix when we discover a problem. However, if may help you with your question
