RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.4 - James Ward - 09-11-2009 Ostland [SPR Wrote:] I have the Volcano mod but since Bolt has some new unit types I didn't know if they would be lost if I installed a mod after installing the scenario. Will volcano over-write the existing units folder or just over write duplicate units? RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.4 - James Ward - 09-11-2009 Hadge Wrote:James That's odd, it's the one I've had for years. I'm going to try to install Volcano mod over top to see if that corrects the problem with the blocked out numbers. I'll let you know how it works out after the Steelers game!

RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.4 - Ostland [SPR] - 09-11-2009 Soviet SAM SA-4,SA-6,SA-11 : Fight distance very small 10 hexes (16 km). The real radius of the weapon 30-60 km. RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.4 - Aaron - 09-11-2009 The values on SAM units were created with the thought process of shooting down helos for one and secondly with the thought that all 16 of them would not actually be in the same hex, u would have 4 here 4 there and so on. So the longer ranged SAMs got a generic 10 to show them being scattered about and with the FACT that it would never be able to TRACK and shoot at a helo flying tree top level 30 hexes away. 10 was a good number b/c it was big enough to cover the division it was attach to. Quote:Also there is one artillery unit type, 122mm RM-70 MLR that has 3 numbers in the hard and soft attack ratings. What do they mean? One example of the unit is located in 318, 123.

I'll let you know how it works out after the Steelers game! Just change the unit box in each folder not everything.

I'm agree. RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.4 - JDR Dragoon - 09-12-2009 I am a bit puzzled about the SA4 though. It is an front level ramjet powered high altitude long range SAM meant to shoot down enemy bombers, possibly using a nuclear warhead. I have a hard time seeing it plinking Apaches. Although the nuclear warhead sounds fun ;) RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.4 - Midge - 09-12-2009 JDR Dragoon Wrote:I am a bit puzzled about the SA4 though.

Although the nuclear warhead sounds fun ;) You'll note both the SA-4 and the SA-6 have AA values almost half that of other Soviet SAMS this simulates their inability to engage choppers at low altitude.

Yeah, but still ;) RE: Bolt out of the Blue 4.4 - Aaron - 09-12-2009 Ya the SA-4 was a piece of garbage and as Midge stated its is 1/2 to 1/3rd the value of the rest of the SAMs but since AC defense values are at 6 and 7 for the most part i believe it would make sense to lower the SA-4 from a 9 to a 6. Id leave the SA-6 where its at a 12. Aaron |
