Juramentado -> [FIXED B631] SAM Minimum Alt Cannot Engage Helos (12/29/2013 8:20:13 PM)
|
So I'm fine tuning one of my scenarios before releasing to public beta, and I noted that certain helos can operate at a minimum altitude of 20 feet. Which means they can actually sneak in well under ANY surface-to-air missile envelope - I checked common IR MANPADS all the way to popular SARH and they ALL have to have a target altitude of 30 feet minimum. Not realistic I would think. Yes, helos can do NOE, but this data disparity actually allows a helo to sneak well within inside SAM DLZ but remain outside gun ranges and deliver ordnance without penalty. I have tested this.
Technically there should also be a random chance that NOE sustained for long periods results in a possibility of crash. Even with AP, GPS and other technical means, flying low is statistically hazardous. H did model this, although I had a tendency to think that game engine's randomization put the threshold rather low for a crash to occur.
