Falcon Threat Guide (Sams-AAA-A2A Weapons)
By Static in Manuals / Docs
This is not my work and was made a long long time ago. If anybody knows the original author please let me know so I can give them credit for this. This has been floating around the F4 community for years now.
This is a very helpful guide to get acquainted with the limitations of what is trying to kill you as you fly your missions, When you frag a flight to certain areas you can use this guide to find out if a particular SAM site has its "guidance radar". The document has each SAM and the "Early Warning and Command radars." For new pilots a quick explanation.
If I frag a flight into area with SA-2 SAM sites. I can recon the SAM site and look if it has a "Fan Song" missile guidance radar from the documents description. If not it was previously taken out by another flight. Taking out the Fan Song Radar neutralizes the SAM site and you can move on to more important target as this is no longer a threat. The document is very helpful in learning the threats and very handy to have a printout readily available. It might need some updating as Falcon keeps evolving but the main core of the info is pretty relevant. Below is a screenshot of what to expect in the download. It is in PDF format.
