What is this Unit?

The new Cold War turned hot wargame from On Target Simulations, now expanded with the Player's Edition! Choose the NATO or Soviet forces in one of many scenarios or two linked campaigns. No effort was spared to model modern warfare realistically, including armor, infantry, helicopters, air support, artillery, electronic warfare, chemical and nuclear weapons. An innovative new asynchronous turn order means that OODA loops and various effects on C3 are accurately modeled as never before.

What is this Unit?

Post by rake »

I didn't see anything about these when I skimmed thru the manual...

This is the first relatively modern game that I've played and I'm not up on all the newer NATO designations... if indeed it is a standard NATO symbol.

Thanks in advance

As Swamp Yankee said, that is an unknown unit broadcasting a radar signal. Probably an air defense unit.

Rake, there is a What's New in 2.0.X PDF that gets shipped with the updates that covers all the bug fixes, enhancements, and new items added to the game. My guess is this symbol was in that and not the original main game manual.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Does the AI shut off radar sometimes?

markcab, no they are on, but the chance to detect them is mitigated to reflect a periodic use. In Southern Storm we are talking about having a setting to allow the player and AI for that matter to set a state that trades off searching versus detection.
