ussdefiant -> [MUST TWEAK DBs] ALARMs/airburst weapons ineffectual vs. SAMs? (6/26/2017 3:13:51 AM)

Yello gents, i think i found another bug while toying around in my sandbox. Today it involves me trying to send ALARMs at some target radars to see how many it takes to put down a SAM, and then me being very surprised at what happened when some of the ALARMs actually got through and did precisely zero damage to the SAM. I repeated a test by sending 10 ALARMs at an empty Crotale battery and the results from the test from the OPFOR perceptive are shown below:
6:53:23 AM - 6:53:23 AM - Contact GuidedWeapon #64 has been lost.

2 direct hits, 6 near missiles, and precisely zero damage to either the launchers or the radars on them, even with them being listed with no armor in the DB. I expanded the target set to another test, and it seems like the ALARM will kill radar sites just fine but for some reason refuses to kill SAMs. Attached is a scen showing 15 ALARMs inbound to two different Crotale sites, a Roland site, two variants of the Ground Master radar, and a Master-T radar. Whenever i run it,the radars will happily die off, but the SAMs refuse to take any damage. Also, i occasionally see one ALARM going and floating in space at zero knots speed for some reason after its target radar goes and die, so you might watch for that.
