Skynet does not allow a SAM-site to go live when it has no working search radars.

This is a great weakness, especially for types like the SA-11.
If you destroy it's Snow Drift search radar, it's launchers are no longer a threat.

I expect SAM-sites to keep fighting, like they do without Skynet.
Is this unrealistic?

Enhancement: using controller:knowTarget(), other radars could supply a damaged site with target information, so it can point its engagement radar.
This would make Skynet even more deadly, and possibly even more realistic?

I have done some testing, and really like the extra resistance and fighting spirit!

@baleBaron knowTarget does not work with SAM Sites I tested that because I had the same Idea. Or could you get the SAM sites to react to such a command?

Allowing the Sites to go live if no search radar is available is a good idea I have also thought about that.
