Destroying SAMs[message #97456]

Hi everyone. Haven't played JA2 in ages. Just downloaded UC, and I'm trying to remember how to destroy a SAM. I took an unusual route, and am down at the one in the center of the map. (I8, I think?)

I went so far as to use JAPE to create some extra explosives, because whatever I used first didn't work.

Any suggestions? ... Haven't tried a LAW yet... Am I supposed to destroy the launchers, or the missiles in the shed? I've been trying to blow up the launchers.

Thanks!!

You can't destroy SAM's as far as I know. Controlling them is enough.

When in whole map mode click on the airspace icon at the bottom and all the airspace you control shows up green. That's where the chopper pilot can go without being shot down by enemy SAM, and the range of areas you can drop in new mercs.

Hello,

I think you could destroy the samsites in regular Ja2, and I am not sure about it in UC anyway. In Ja2 you had to destroy the control station within the building to disable the sam sites, not the launchers or the missiles. Normal explosives do the trick though.

And mark, only to disable because they enemy would soon repair them.

So in the end I'd go with HailEris and try to capture the sites anyway. Never seemed of much tactical use (well there's always the fun to consider of course) of such operations.

there isn't much point to destroying the actual launchers, the enemy repairs them if they retake the sector - but I like to blow them up anyway, VOG-25's do the trick.
