Default Re: Need suggestion on implementing the HUMRAAM

I hadn't noticed the NASAM in the Norwegian OOB - and since it seems to be more-or-less a first generation of this system it'll make a good set of base values to work with.

Even at a 20 mile range that gives it a range of 255 in-game (same as the HAWK and other area defense SAM systems) so I guess that's all that's needed for game purposes.

I suspect the ground launched version does have a lower range then the air launched. I do know there's a long range version in development/early production because the early version did not that the same range as the Phoenix used by the US Navy. No hard data but it currently seems to have s range similar to the Sparrow.

My understanding is this is not intended as a replacement for the current Stinger based systems but a new "medium" range system to cover the gap between them and the more-or-less fixed site HAWK/Patriot systems.
