HCE - 2009.026

==============

- Chg:0000 GE A 'bonus' increment to the number of SAMs to fire at incoming

targets was supposed to be applied if the target is moving at

> 1300 kts. Unfortunately the code was using a speed not in

kts so the bonus was always applied. That has now been fixed

and the units match.

- Chg:B044 GE In the case where a platform only has surface search radars yet

also has SAMs, allow the platform to fire non IR guided SAMs

if the platform has surface search radars turned on.

others for coming close)

- Chg:0000 SE When creating an LR Patrol if user clicks Repeat Patrol before

adding planes to the patrol, the SE would crash. Fixed by

disabling and enabling the button at the appropriate moments.

I don't think you can test the first item with any confidence. It would appear when a high ROF ship is firing against say 4 x Harpoon. In previous builds you might see the high ROF ship firing one more SAM than you would in this build. The other two items are testable.

For testing purposes, which ships have only SS radar and SAMs?

This works in Beta .026.

I think the original ship that Reckall encountered was the Nanuchka I. I'd start there.

I remember the SAM in Nanuchka I are SA-N-4, command-guided ...

Correct. They rely on the Pop Group fire control radar for guidance, but as we don't really model fire control radars in HCE, they are omitted from the HCDB. Hence, no air search radars on the ship.

This works in Beta .026. Run the enclosed save in EC2003 GIUK.
