Modern Warfare Mod brings World in Conflict from the Cold War into the Modern Age. It also ups the ante on realism and authenticity in every role – Infantry, Armor, Support and Air, while trying our best to keep everything relatively balanced for fun and interesting gameplay.

What do you guys think about this SAM system? Range is about 20 km, useful for combat against cruise missile and TBMs.

Well, with the coming proliferation of missiles like the 9M96 and PAC-3 MSE, Medium SAM will no longer be needed as a unit, since Heavy SAM itself is already equipped with long range missiles (48N6E, PAC-2 GEM) and medium-short range missiles like the 9M96 and PAC-3.

The only gap left is protection of mobile forces from helicopter threats but 96K6 Pantsir S1 fulfills this role very well so Buk SAM isn't really needed in game.

i the way there arent - it works only as a part of the heavy aa squad.
And buk cant intercept the tbms - not good enough - it was created to provide areal defence to the advancing units. The role of the abm defence was put on the s300v - which was very good for its time and still is.
