Revision as of 19:39, 28 March 2019

This resource is mainly for missions designers to set up fully-featured and functional SAM groups using the many various units available under the “Air defence” vehicle category in the DCS mission editor.

Each block describes the system as a whole, the ground units it consists of, the dependencies between these units, and some very rough performance figures (in-game and wiki-based). In addition, optional units and decorative static objects that would complement the system and make them closer to the real setup are listed, even if these units generally serve no added function. The only exception is ammunition-providing M818 and Ural trucks that effectively give nearby units (within 200m) infinite ammunition capacity.

Many systems include some sort of commander unit. The functionality these units is, at best, mythical. No official explanation has ever been offered, and community answers consist of a never-ending string of unsupported claims ranging from increasing detection range, to providing faster reloads or increased rate of fire, to data-linking (…but to what, or for what purpose, no-one knows). They are not necessary to create a working anti-air group, but it is possible that some obscure efficiency parameter will be degraded by doing so.

Note that maximum altitudes, in particular, can be a bit vague due to the interaction between maximum sensor elevation, sensor range, and missile flight capabilities. While the maximum altitude may seem sufficient on some systems, it is often a lot lower in practice because there is a rather narrow band between where the missile still has energy enough to climb, and where the (usually) radar is still able to track a target. For maximum skylord murderness, make sure the altitude capabilities are ridiculously above where the target is expected to fly.

Italicised units are optional and not necessary for the functioning of the system. Units (mainly decorative) that can be found outside the Air Defence category have their category indicated in parentheses, as do decorations that only exist as static objects.

Notes
Optical acquisition all-aspect IR homing, incorrectly labelled “SA-18” in spite of being the Igla-S model.

Has no special setup and is instead integrated into infantry columns or as a supplement to any fixed installations. If combined with a Sborka command vehicle, each vehicle coordinates 6 sections of Igla-S:s.

The system consists of infantry units and cannot be driven using Combined Arms.

Notes
All firing units have the same offensive capabilities. The difference is mostly cosmetic, other than that the Ural-375 variants can be driven around, whereas the rest are static emplacements. All can be directly controlled using Combined Arms.

Has no special setup and is integrated into infantry or light mechanised columns, or used as static defences for fixed installations.

Acquisition time 4s
Notes
Has a radar for searching, ranging, and tracking targets; missiles are optically guided and do not require a lock-on.

If combined with a Sborka command vehicle, each vehicle coordinates 6× Tunguskas, but has no other special setup and is normally integrated into armoured and mechanised columns.

Available to
Russia, but only with historical units turned off Abkhazia, but only with historical units turned off Belarus, but only with historical units turned off Kazakhstan, but only with historical units turned off Morocco, but only with historical units turned off South Ossetia, but only with historical units turned off Ukraine, but only with historical units turned off USAF Aggressors, but only with historical units turned off

Early-warning / GCI systems

These units can be turned into ground-based GCI radars by assigning the advanced waypoint actions:

  • Start Enroute Task > EWR
  • Perform Command > Set Callsign
  • Perform Command > Set Frequency

They are all static units and cannot be driven using Combined Arms, but offer detection capabilities that tie into the more realistic simulation modes of LotATC 4 DCS.

The ROR is a fall-back system to help with ranging in a high-ECM environment. It is not simulated or present in DCS. Similarly, the AFCC and LSC are distributed systems for redundancy should the command post be eliminated. The effect of these can be approximated by adding 3 additional PCP:s.

The system is static cannot be driven using Combined Arms.

Notes
A basic Rapier battery consists of:
