Patriot SAM poor performance

[Isto]

Why would the missile detonate close enough ?

So they are going against direct orders, shouldnt that take them to military court on defying direct orders from their superiors ?

Can infantry do the same without being deserters ? Abandon their posts if an artillery barrage comes close enough, im sure that happens though.


Internet says patriot can travel mach 5. Dodge that with ur su-24.


So what i gather the situation you described indeed does happen in winspmbt but its extremely rare (recall at least twice or more). Usually the missile either hits or misses. The code about the damage have been broken (on purpose ?) though. This does not seem fair against patriot systems. It also seems to lack responsive properties, outdated planes flying above from couple of kilometers with no response as if that would really happen. I do have faith in the US defence system, only russians should have better equipment. If this is all part of a plan to undermine the strength of US through games.
