DCS World Quick Guide: How To Use Hawk SAM System

[@DCSChopsticks]

Would you like to see more of these kinds of videos?

[@Spartonification]

Yes!

[@timcoles7007]

A video on the Rapier would be good.

[@DCSChopsticks]

It was next on my list too

[@llama1910]

Yes please!

[@markdavis9286]

Just started playing the game and doing mission stuff for friends. Had no idea there were pre-built SAM templates. This is going to save to much time and headache, thank you.

Unfortunately the Launchers won’t launch when I try to use the SAM. All the skills are set to excellent

[@Zeus-fx8dy]

You should also add RWR nomenclature in the videos for each SAM system

[@DCSChopsticks]

That is a good idea

[@davidbradley3227]

And reload times too good sir!! Great job all the same

[@shermymcd]

Okay. So its I suck at doing this, or its I'm doing something wrong because when I spawn them in I do the right steps but when an enemy plane flies over it doesn't do anything but sit there

[@shermymcd]

The only thing that follows the aircraft is the radar that looks like two dish pans

[@DCSChopsticks]

The most common issues are: missing a unit such as one of the radars or communication units, not having the units set to a high enough skill, having the radars obstructed by terrain so they cannot lock the target aircraft quickly enough. Hopefully this helps.

[@shermymcd]

@@DCSChopsticks Nah I did all that correctly. I spawned in the entity thingy that looks like 2 squares connected with a bridge

[@DCSChopsticks]

And all the units are at a good skill level? Sometimes the templates have odd skill levels.

[@shermymcd]

@@DCSChopsticks I don't think the skill level matters, does it? All the launchers do is sit there and do nothing but only the radar tracks the enemies
