Hi, Playing the 'Black horse' scenario noticed two things:

1)Either though my US units are firing 'Stingers' & various other fire at Hind helicopters, they are just not getting shot down. Have tired game multiple times and Hinds just dominate the battlefield. So my question is 'Should Hinds be so difficult to shoot down' ? They were not in Afghanistan & other wars have demonstrated how vulnerable helicopters are to manpads.

2)AT-11 sniper anti-tank missiles seem to be able to hit with unnerving accuracy even at ranges of 4000 meters. Were they really that accurate at those ranges ?

Was thinking of purchasing 'Southern storm' but worried that these same issues will apply to the new game.

Appreciate any help.

Many thanks.

Hinds are a tough one to knock down at times in Red Storm. ATGMs can be accurate at longer ranges, and is part of the reason the Soviets have them on tanks for shots beyond 2km.

As for these items in Southern Storm, the entire framework for the coding of spotting and combat has been redone from the ground up, and the data detail is more defined as well. Both items are different in the new game engine.
