Shilka.

Voting is ongoing till the end of this week...
... between the ZSU-23-V1 Shilka or the SA-75MK Dvina.


Vote, if you want to learn its operation "Realistic to the switch..."

Your Shilka panel...
... "Realistic to the Switch"

Your Dvina panel...
... "Realistic to the Switch"

Awesome!
S-75 Chinese document ready. how should I send it to you?:)

Dvina, please!

Please send it to the email, at the bottom of this website...

I have to vote for the SA-2F. I default to the Volhov the few times I've managed to play. I'm used to LORO mode radar and I miss it when I'm using the S-125.

Miao, Cat

As realistic as possible!...And how much reflex would it take to operate the Shilka? Given its nature as a SPAAG...


As far as I can tell, LORO mode is currently only useful maximizing detection range, decluttering the scope, and possibly improving guidance accuracy in the sim. It should help against off-angle standoff jamming, which is probably yet to be implemented, and SA-2F doesn't have the antenna for that...Well, perhaps.

Too bad we can't substitute S-200 for S-75 in those scenarios.

OK.Email sent.

Thanks You!

Now the documentation is available in 6 languages...
... if you want to translate it to your language, I can send you the original Word docs.

According to former Hungarian Fire Control Officers, the SA-75M Dvina (SA-2F) was the easiest system to use.
Compared to it, the S-75M3 Volkhov (SA-2E) is an ergonomic nightmare.

First off, I would love to see the SA-10 in SAM Sim, it's been my favorite system for many years. However, I doubt you'd be able to create a realistic enough representation of the system to meet your standards. Sadly I agree with others; wait until you can get enough detailed information to make this system as realistic as the others.

As for the Shilka vs Dvina, I vote for the Shilka. The Dvina would be great to have as it's the realistic system for many of our current scenarios. However, the Shilka is a more attractive system to me simply because it's something new. I'd rather have a brand new toy that I know nothing about than a downgraded toy I've been playing with for a long time.

Finally, awesome work on the interface! I've always loved how photo-realistic they look.

So am I!
Just imagine...
- You have 48 ready to launch missiles, no waiting for reload.
- No poisonous fluids are required before launch.
- You can attack 6 targets simultaneously, with 12 missiles.
- Mach7 missile, with 75km range and 20g+ overload capability.
- No hundreds of switches, just a logical array of buttons and screens.
- No ground clutter.
- Only one wheel for Azimuth, no need to track target in Elevation/Azimuth.
- 105degrees of view in Azimuth, 90degrees in elevation.
- Narrow phase modulated pencil beams, only your targets can detect it. (no worrying for weasels)
- Firing after 5 minutes of stop, than scouting away within 5 minutes. (no worrying for enemy counterattack)

Finally, awesome work on the interface! I've always loved how photo-realistic they look.

Thanks, they are photos of real systems.

Life will be more interesting with realistic ground clutter...

Volhov 95% ready, only testing and fine tuning is done currently.
Neva 70% ready.
KRUG 0%.
VEGA as a Doppler radar has no effect for ground.

Screen without and with SDC*.


*SDC is the impulse-doppler mode of the Volhov, called MTI (Moving Target Indicator) in the west.

Awesome!:D

And will terrain shadowing be modeled along with this? Seems so but still...?

Yeah!

During 1959, the locations of the SA-75/SA-75M Dvina (SA-2A/B) units in Hungary were selected against medium-high altitude targets.

Twenty years later, during the planned re-organization / re-equipping to S-75M/S-125M/S-200VE/S-300PMU (SA-2E/SA-3B/SA-5B/SA-10B) the locations were re-selected to be able to fight against low altitude targets...
... just the money went out (at the end of the Cold War), and some units were stayed in legacy positions (bottom of valleys), so they had short visibility range for low targets.

Let me put in quick vote for Shilka, and to take your time with the S-300.

I vote for Shilka. Something different and more to learn!

And while the SA-10B sounds really tempting I'm for the "Realistic to the switch" approach.

- You have 48 ready to launch missiles, no waiting for reload

Ehhh...not 4 TEL with 4 missiles each, altogether 16 ready to launch?
