[WAD] Enforcing EMCON on SAM Batteries

I'm playing the Electronic Warfare flight tutorial right now, and I can't get my Patriot battery to keep its radar switched off when there's SEAD planes around. Whether I manually uncheck the radar box from the unit sensor tab, check "obey EMCON," or any other thing I can think of, it keeps switching its radar back on to shoot at enemy planes once they get within range. Am I overlooking some setting that will override it's auto-engage behavior?

Attached is a scenario file, and my game is updated to the 1115.7 build. TIA for any help!

Hi,

"Stay EMCON silent" does not mean "don't even light up to guide weapons", it means "stay silent until you deem all other firing parameters have been met, and light up to actually guide weapons".

To stay completely silent even at the cost firing weapons, you need to set the AAW WCS to "hold".
