Have any additional Aircraft been by ADA(HAWK) radar?

The ADA units will not really pick up helo's or air used in Tactical Battles. this means they can only be engaged by ADA if involved in the actual Tactical Battle. It is something I had to abstract since I cannot guess at what point if or when they will be called in to battle in the 24 turn battle.

But to sort of answer your question. There are many "RED" aircraft signatures detected loitering all along the front at just above treetop level. Both fast and slow moving. :halo:

Maybe I'm not understanding this. I thought all air ingressing the tactical play area would be engaged in the operational phase. IE when you told me that 2 flights of 1 AC were transiting the AO. 2 singles,I'm not going to give away the the SAM site's location as that smells like trolling for SAMs.
Disregard the Helos as I'm sure they ingressed the AO flying a low profile. But additional fast movers are another matter.

So how does it work? Is it:

A) all ingressing AC (fast movers and foolish helos) are engaged before tactical play or

B) AC ingressing on operational missions IE RECON are engaged the AC can be commited at any time to reinforce the sector (without LR SAM fires)

That is the question that I am asking.

I assume that 2 AC but not 4 AC flying close togeather may be reported as 1 AC perhaps. FOW So I am not suprised by 3 Kerry launches. in 1 sector. I pretty much believe that 2-4 Migs have ingressed.
