I'm putting a soviet S-300 into battle. 1. wiki calls the S300 as SA-10 Grumble. But H4 at Annex D calls it SA-6 Grumble (is this the S300?). 2. How do i know what rader the S300 uses? Seperate question. I have an A-10 Warthog strafing a moving column of tanks. The Aircraft Bombing Table on page 6-12 (bottom right hand corner) says an internal cannon like on the A-10 has certain % chance of killing tanks etc. I'm surprised the table is that generic, it means any internal cannon has the same chance as the A-10's 6x30mm cannon which i thought would be different enough to have its on to kill table.

Copy, thank you. Wow, Russian attack/strike aircraft with no radar ...

Ha ha. Just jokes, to let you know someone is reading the current events posts. Always interesting.

When will the Su-57 data annex be available?

I'm running a scenario where a russian attack aircraft is doing a bombing run verse a ship. It doesn't matter if its a Mig 27, Su 17 or Su 25 attack aircraft - they each have "LRMTS" sensors and/or "1 ESM/Radar Targeting Pod" which both sounds generic, and i am unable to find this sensor under air/surface/fire control radar. What radar would any of these aircraft use? How do i determine radar detection to their targets? There is mention of a "Kh-23 guidance pod" but i cannot find any stats for it either in my High Tide Data Annex.

Does anyone own Troubled Waters for paper Harpoon? Would you recommend it? I guess i'm seeing it has scenario generators which as a solo player i might be interested in.

Mate I'm playing Harpoon 4.1 using paper rules, and just using pad paper to log where units are and do calculations (speed, missiles, radar detection etc). What is this Simplot your doing? Would it help me? Whats the short answer?

"Turn it off and on again"? Sounds like an episode of the "I.T. Crowd" tv series.

An excellent read.

I missed some of the subtles then. I thought Russia intervened "on the USA side", but then more recent reading made me think they hoped the "other" side won. But yeah, to many sides for me to keep up.

Is it true that Russia and the USA are supporting (via equipment?) opposite sides in Syria?

Are there any sites on the internet that have data annexe for the different countries? (China and Australia for instance)? I used to be able to find a few, but not anymore : - (

Bump Is one nautical mile normal?

Just come across this article from yesterday. Did something go seriously wrong with the carrier groups procedures? 2 x Tu-142 Bears got within 1 nautical mile of the US Ronald Reagan. One mile!?!?! That sounds pretty close to me? I thought they would have been escorted or directed away well before they got within one mile? http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/29/politics/us-aircraft-carrier-russian-plane-encounter/

Good points. Would it have been low enough for a rifle? Would have made a small target also. Strange.
