US Anti Air functional?

[Wraith]

I can't get the US hawk anti air to work at all. I pair the radar and launcher together...nothing. I separate them, nothing. Enemy AI low or high does not engage. Everything is same as USSR launchers which work just fine. Hope they get some attention.

Yes its a bugged/non-functional unit, made a post about it in the bug report section a while back. The radar works, but the missile launcher doesnt.

most the sam sites in the game done work yet. its on the teams to do list.

Hmm, do you have a video by any chance or could you share any reproduction steps here? It does rely on the Fire Control Radar being present to work. Dev Build seems to show its working as intended. A pre-made group using hawks is available as well in the mission editor (US_HAWKSAMSITE.GROUP).

I added the FCR (which without a desr no idea what that was) and it works, sort of. I can only get it to work if each hawk launcher has its own dedicated radar and fcr. Otherwise only one launcher fires. Don't know if that is as intended.

That may be because when you are adding launchers you are in effect creating new groups. Ie new squadrons of launchers and if each set is a set of one then that one launcher is the squad leader and necessitate a dedicated fcr. Whereas if they were in the same squad one fcr would work.

I created a radar + FCR + 3 launchers. Only one launcher fired. I created 3 separate radar/FCR/launcher. All AA batteries fired. I hear what you say, but I don't know how to put them in the same "squad."

Make a formation . At minimum you need the Launcher + Radar + FCR.

In the editor have a look at the formations (the folder icon next to the tank icon at the top) there is a US_Hawk_SAM battery already premade ready to go. I've been using them without any problems in missions.

edit:
MIM-23 Hawk Radar (has AN/MPQ-48 surface and Air search radar)
MIM-23 Hawk FCR (has the AN/MPQ-46 High Power Illuminator Radar (HiPIR))

Looking at game files each FCR can support 1 target and has 2 weapons channels, so u prob want at least 1 per launcher

MIM-23 Hawk (launcher)

You can also add another Search radar like the "Radar Site US" to the formation which has the THD 1040 Neptune (TRS 3030) Surface/Air search Radar and ESM.

Will do. I didn't even know what that icon even did.

A missile battery need a radar to track her the target.
