Default Re: Shoulder Launched SAM\'s

Don't forget to compare with other OOB missiles:

the impressive:
UK's Starstreak: 3x0,9kg warhead , (6/12/12)

and the stinger-like:
FR's Mistral: 3kg (5/3/3)

and add the SP-SAM:
UK: Rapier SAM: (6/10/10)

EU: Roland: (8/4/4)

Fr: Crotale: (8/14/14)

(US: linebakers with Stinger
Germany: ozelot with Stinger)

Something interresting:
Quote:
The original Rapier FSB1 was deployed during the Falklands War but saw very poor performance against low-flying aircraft flying away from the launcher. Fourteen kills were claimed but later reports reveal that just two aircraft were shot down in the whole war. The Falklands proved the general inability of short range missile systems (no matter how sophisticated) to defend anywhere but their own position unless combined with a longer range air defense.
I tried in-game: 5 rapier against 8 last-generation (EW=8) aircrafts (SEAD+strike): 5 aircraft down, no rapier destroyed. It's worse for most of the SP-SAMs because rapier is one of the worst.
