hmm I have only tried it now, I do like the concept, but I do not like to be shot out of the air constantly

getting shot down is a fact of life in real war, especially if you don't learn to evade.     these SAM's can and DO miss, they also sometimes only do slight damage (depending upon circumstances and your skill) and also if you spot one coming (there's a warning) then evasive action and escape is 'entirely' possible.

give it some practice and you'll figure it out.

  ;Dhello again i feel obliged to help you guysin the sam bogeyman eddieprophet's guide to sam evasion in a chaffless environment: 1) reef yout bird in a high-g turn (sammy goes to fast to follow)if there is no launch warning avionics(ecm was scarce in vietnam era and unreliable as heck)look for the telephone pole smoke trail!!2)hit the burners if you have them and fly as close to the deck as you can, use the mountains and hills to cover yourself(Vietnam is full of mountains and hills btw)3) fly a scissors pattern with your wingman to watch for telephone poles 4) i can't stress this enough the sam you dont see is the one that kills you so stop your bitching, vietnam was a hazardous and hostile place for the american aviator or as the vietcong lovingly called us yankee air pirates ;)lol rofl tata and happy sam dodging pilgrims!!!

The S-75 (aka Sa-2) was design to shot down modern jets like the F-4, F-8 etc. Any thing slower/less manuverable your chance to survive dramatically reduced. 

[Beowolff]

eddie's right.  a sharp, high speed turn or even a quick dive and sharp break will usually lose them or at the least lessen damage.  using hills/mountains also works great with these...  as long as YOU know where they are or are going to come from.  he's right again...it's the ones you do NOT see that always get you.

i usually survive one hundred percent of the time unless caught flatfooted.  my AI wingies sometimes fare much worse, but that's 'their' fault.

Hi Beowolf, I got this very (I would say a  must for Viet environment!) interesting mod but still not installed in my Sas Modact and now comes the JetWar v1.2.... Are they compatible or will be in the future?
Best regards,

they do work in DBW 1.7, I made the mistake of forgetting my QR-160s

[mojojojo]

when i make a mission, they just shoot at the ground and blow themselves up. while i am happy not to be shot out of the sky, i would like to add a degree of realism to some of my vietnam era missions.

[ANDYTOTHED]

you cant be too far away and too low, the will detonate on launch for some reason or other

[Beowolff]

they have not been converted yet to the new jetpack and the newest DBW and will likely have issues.  they may work, but likely not exactly as intended.  they'll be an update, i'm sure...but it'll likely be a little while yet as everyone at FM has tons of irons in the fire on other projects.  don't worry we've not forgotten the SAMs and will continue to improve them as time allows.  and hopefully add 'more' version/types too as we go along.
