Hi everybody!
Yes I would like for sure to help in that field.
(however I would only be able to give a window of ranges and speed ( I am sure you understand what I mean..)
The AS-4 Kitchen for sure will only be launch at high altitude from a long distance. I don't think we should go with the high altitude probe directing the others to a lower altitude.
The AS-4 will be launch at something not lower than 20000 feet. It is not just in the Harpoon database (which is excellent) but as well as per ''RL''.
The AS-4 (as per the SS-N-12 and 19) will and shall be on our SPS-49 from the moment they launch. Believe me.
It should/shall be read 50 feet and not 50 meters. By definition a seaskimmer is 50 feet and less.
Most of the FCRs are 30 + NM capable. That is mainly true for a frigate size equiped with FCRs (i.e. STIRS). For the SPG-51/60 of Destroyers and Cruisers (guiding the SM-2s) we are looking at 100Nm +
Now we have to be careful about the FCRs range and the radar horizon in the game. The Seaskimmers (even with the SPG-51/60) shall be only detecting those ones at something inside (or no more than) 20 NM.
An Aircraft or missile above 1000ft would go to the maximum of the FCR range (I would say to simplify a bit for the doctrine in the game).
The AS-9/11 and pretty much all the AS family are high diver (so some 20 to 40 deg angle of dive). So for those ones we shall see the separation of the missile from the Aircraft on our radar.
For Seaskimmer, the only indication shall be an Aircraft making turn tail and then seeing later appearing something inside 20 Nm. (It is pretty much weel done in Harpoon and Fleet Command.
Hope this help a bit
