BaD CrC Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 So flying at night above a Zu23 doesn't trigger anything from them since, I can imagine, they don't see me without a radar. So I set a trigger to release a illumination rocket above the area that I am overflying expecting the army of AAA spotting me and shooting at me, but no joy either. Is it the wrong way to do it or is DCS not capable of handling this kind of visibility considerations? https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Have you tried illuminating the flight path instead of just above the ZSU-23?

DarkFire Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think this topic was explored before, about 6 months ago. Can't find the thread now but if memory serves the general consensus was that AAA systems that don't have some sort of IR / EO / RADAR guidance, e.g. a truck-mounted or emplaced Zu-23, can't see aircraft at night and therefore won't shoot at them. Not sure if aircraft lights make a difference, they appear to make player aircraft more visible to AI aircraft but I don't know if the same is true of AA systems.

MasterZelgadis Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think the TO is well aware of that, that's why he used an illumination rocket to make the aircraft visible to the AAA ;) "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst.

BaD CrC Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks guys, Well I launched 4 illumination rockets from different part of the enemy airfield that I am overflying, while making sure I am flying under those rockets to get a real good lighting of my aircraft from the enemy Zu23. But nothing happens. Seems like artificial light is not taken into account. Would be good in the ME to find a way to make units believe it is daytime so they engage. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
