OK.
0) Set a timer on your desk for 90 minutes (use your digital watch or something). Start.
Note: My timing assumes you use an automated editor like DWEdit.
1) Start by making the SS-N-22 and SS-N-25 Seaskimming - just change the doctrine used here.
2) In fact, make all of Russian SSMs Seaskimming. I thought the altitude set was 50
meters rather than 50
feet, but either way, even the -19 (presumably at least as low as -12), -12 (100 feet), -9 (130 feet) and upgraded -2s (50 feet) are a lot closer to the
missile_skim alttitude setting than the missile setting. If you are really dedicated and the game allows it, make a whole bunch of new doctrines with various seaskimming altitudes to simulate different degrees of seaskimming ability. Quickie
source and another quickie
source here.
3) For extra fun, try turning on ECM for -12s and -19s (a flag). They are supposed to have jammers to improve their chances of making it through (those huge missiles are more like assault drones than missiles from the amount of features they have), and it'd be kind of neat to see how it'd work out, whether the game would even recognize such a thing.
4) Now, head to the SAMs - AAMs can wait. Think the SA-N-6 should only have a 60% effectiveness? If not, change it. Or maybe the SA-N-9 might be good, but it is hard to believe it is 100% effective (making it better than Aster)? Change that too. There aren't that many missile entries - going through the lot of them to check on one number in each should take only 15 minutes.
5) There aren't that many planes. Notice all of them have a radar and FCR SL of 67. Since we are aiming to make it better, not perfect this time, just do a quickie. Since missiles are around "50", set small planes like fighters for 60 and the big ones (bombers) say 70-80.
6) Head to sensors and bring up the radars. Start with the aircraft's search radars. Here is a quickie
source you can use for coarse alignment until the time comes for the Big Renovation. Go to the FCRs for the fighters, and understand that they most definitely aren't cutting off at 36km! For today's coarse alignment, just assume tracking range is about 60% of detection, and set the values accordingly.
7) Head to ship FCRs. It is hard to get the right data, but at least ensure that the cutoff is longer than the range of the SAM involved! Specifically, I refer to cases Top Dome, who's hard cutoff is 36km when the database says it has 74km. You might also review cases like the SPG-51, which is used to direct SM-2s (at least earlier versions with range of only 70 or so km). Adjust the FCR range accordingly.
8) Just keep on doing what you can along these lines until the timer beeps.
Thank you very much. Now let's see if anybody appreciates this. I would.
