I'd like to explore Blinking Radars NOT associated with SAMs, and on naval vessels.

quote:


I've been recreating attacks on surface ships, and exploring what happens. For example, if every ship in a group had its radar on, then they are all hit with HARMs. If none of them turn their radars on (and they aren't protected by another radar source), then they are easily destroyed by missiles such as Harpoons. Obviously, a surface group sailing without air cover will need to turn on at least one radar for protection.

quote:


I've come to realize that just one ship with active radar is sufficient. The other ships will activate their FCRs when then are going to start firing at the incoming missiles. (I have never had a problem with SAMs turning on their radars in the game when the time to shoot presents itself.)

quote:

So, I've seen the code for the Blinking Radar units on SAM sites. Does it work on just regular search radars?

quote:

I assume that it does, but I haven't seen any scenario with just blinking radars (not affiliated with SAMs). Do you know of any?

quote:


Also, what do you think of the idea? Is it something that is actually done? There is a window (I don't know the tim
e frame) whereby the firing unit can shoot at a radar which was recently de-activated. Perhaps it depends on the radar. Perhaps there is a set time period.

It is: If a radar is active, and it detected by the OpFor, the the OpFor turns off the radar, how long do you have to be able to shoot at the radar before you are given the message that the "radar is not emitting at this time" message? Generically, Is it a minute? Is it 30 seconds? Is it two minutes? Or, does it change depending on the specific radar in question?

quote:


BTW: I now do exactly as you have suggested regarding the scoring of scenarios. I don't really assign points for "killing stuff." Instead, I award points for accomplishing missions. I do take away points of I happen to lose too many assets in the accomplishment of the goal.

Thanks, Mike.

I just downloaded, and I'll be playing around with it.

Thanks again.

Hi All

Here's an unfinished scenario you can mine things out of. I use it to goof around and have no plans to post it to the community pile. Lots of code from other people around here (Knighthawk, Kushan in particular) but some of the implementations might be more unique. I don't think I have the shoot and scoot in but maybe some other things that could be helpful.

I think the only noise I can add is I try and think about why EMCONS are WRA's would be used. I'm aware of over modeling things as well, got to think about whether the AI would have the C3M or insight to make a certain decision.

SQ feedback is pretty helpful as is a chart recently posted in the DB string. I'll be banging away at it but I think the chain of detection is worth looking at too.

myside = 'VKS'
myunitname = {651,652,653,654,151,152,153,154,155,156,491,492,251,252,253,254,255,256,981,982,983,984,985,986,987,988}
-- table with unit numbers - use uniform naming for your radar units, eg '651 RTB'

for i = 1,#myunitname -- this is a loop through all of the units in the myunitname table
do
unitname = myunitname[i] ..'RTB' --unit to be checked/activated
myunit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({side=myside,name=unitname})
print(myunit)

print(myunit.obeyEMCON)
myunit.obeyEMCON = true --set obey EMCON value
print(myunit.obeyEMCON)
myemcon = math.random(1,2) --get myemcon variable (1,2) is 50% chance that radar is activated
if myemcon == 1 then 
ScenEdit_SetEMCON('Unit',unitname,'Inherit=false;Radar=Active') --activate radar if condition is true (myemcom = 1)
else
ScenEdit_SetEMCON('Unit',unitname,'Inherit=false;Radar=Passive') --deactivate radar if condition is false (myemcon <> 1)
print(myunit.sensors)
end
end
