[s]Hey guys, I'm playing "Air Sea Battle" and I'm currently trying to shoot down Yaogan-25A since it's entering the DLZ of my SM-3s. However, there's a bit of a problem: the SM-3s keep losing track and head for Polaris. I've tried holding my fire on numerous occasions but I can't keep the satellite in the DLZ of any of my ships without shooting Polaris. Is there something I'm missing?[/s]

Edit: This problem is (somewhat) resolved as I've decided to start getting more aggressive in my satellite hunting and detach SM-3-equipped warships from their formations to rush to the DLZ when the opportunity presents itself.

How do you attack satellites? I've never been able to get it to work in either Chains of War, or by creating a scenario and dropping an Arleigh Burke with SM3s right under the orbital path of a satellite. I'm never able to engage, the message in the Weapon Allocation is always "Target is out of the weapon's DLZ."

The whole point is to fire at a satellite before it gets in range. The way I did it was to allocate the shots ahead of time and just wait for the satellites to enter the DLZ.
