Overview
This guide is an illustrated tactical walkthrough for beginners on how to use EW (Electronic Warfare) aircrafts equipped with SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missiles neutralizing the enemy radar-guided SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) platform, step by step.该指南将按步骤向新手玩家解释如何使用配备有反雷达导弹的电子战飞机消灭敌方的雷达制导地对空导弹平台。
Introduction
The major change in Wargame: ALB compared to Wargame: EE is the introduction of fixed-wing aircrafts, and as such what can be considered as “shield” against this shiny new “spear” are also introduced, aka radar-guided surface-to-air missiles (SAM) platforms.
Wargame: ALB与前作Wargame: EE最大的不同，就在于加入了固定翼飞机。俗话说“以子之矛攻子之盾”，他们的克星，也就是雷达制导的地对空导弹平台，也同样被加入了游戏已有的庞大武库当中。
The prime examples of SAM platforms in game are M727 series, Roland 2 series in NATO and 9K33 Osa series, 9K37 Buk series in PACT. These glass cannons are capable of firing missiles that can cover much larger/higher area of airspace and are much more lethal to passing aircrafts, compared to self-propelled anti-aircraft guns (SPAAGs).
游戏中地对空导弹平台的主要范例包括北约的M727系列和Roland 2系列，以及华约的9K33 Osa系列和9K37 Buk系列。这些平台所发射的导弹与自行防空炮相比，能够覆盖更大的空域并且对于飞机的效果更加致命。
To counter this, Electronic Warfare (EW) planes were introduced, with SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missiles that are specialized in killing radar-guided air defense platforms. The principle behind SEAD missiles is homing in on active radars searching for air targets through emitted radar waves, so it’s sort of “use your advantage back against you” kind of deal here.
为了能够压制地对空导弹平台，电子战飞机应运而生，而其所装备的反雷达导弹则专门用于猎杀雷达制导的防空平台。反雷达导弹背后的原理是追踪运作中的防空雷达发射出的雷达波，并准确摧毁目标，“以其人之道还治其人之身”。
For NATO and PACT respectively, EF-111A Raven and SU-24 are usually considered the best choice for SEAD duties, featuring top-notch airspeed and long-range SEAD missiles. The logic behind the choices should be self-explanatory.
对于北约和华约分别来说，EF-111A Raven和SU-24往往是防空压制任务的首选。他们拥有极高的巡航速度和远射程的反雷达导弹，这样选择的逻辑应当不言自明。
Walkthrough
1. Initiate attack run over neutral or friendly air space without being spotted. 尽量在不被发现的前提下从友军/中立空域开始袭击。
This is VERY important. The starting position of your attack run usually decides whether you end up with two dead pilots or a dead SAM platform. Don’t give any reaction time to your enemy; try to only have your EW plane spotted before the very moment it fires the SEAD missile. Fly to the edge of the map where there’s no enemy recon presence in the area works, and if you have enough intels yourself you could also zig-zag through enemy territory, but EW planes are usually hard to turn with its high speed.
这一点非常重要。空袭发起的位置往往事关成败。不要给敌人留下任何反应时间；在你的电子战飞机发射导弹前尽量不要被发现。先飞到没有敌方侦查存在的地图边缘是个很有用的办法，而如果你有自信掌握了对方的动向的话也可以在敌方防区的缝隙中穿行。。。不过电子战飞机因为其高空速往往转弯不是很灵活。
2. Functioning radars on SAM platform gave away their position to your plane.只要敌方防空导弹平台的雷达是开着的，即使没有地面视野，在你的飞机接近其附近空域的时候它也会出现在你的地图上。
This is also why the “unspotted” part of first step is so important; experienced players will shut off their radars the moment they see your incoming EW plane. Surprise is the major element here to succeed.
这也就是为什么第一步中不被发现是那么重要；有经验的玩家只要一看见你的电子战飞机就会马上手动关掉雷达。奇袭才能够保证成功。
3. SEAD Missile fired and homing in on the first victim. WARNING! Your trajectory should not be going deep into enemy territory. 反雷达导弹已经发射，正在自动向第一个目标飞去。注意！你的飞行轨迹不应当向敌方空域纵深延伸。
If your trajectory led your EW plane deeper into enemy territory, you are asking to be killed; even if the enemy is careless and the IADS (Integrated Air Defense System) zone is uncovered in depth (which is usually NOT the case; you’ll have more SAMs waiting for your arrival), the enemy could call in interceptors at moment’s notice and blast you to pieces before you evac. Try to have your attack run across the length, not the depth of enemy defenses, so it’s easy for your EW plane to escape back into friendly territory and evac. Have that in mind when you are planning the insertion in the first step.
如果你的飞行轨迹带着你的电子战飞机逐步深入敌军领土，你就是在作死；即使敌人比你还笨让自己的综合防空区虚有纵深（一般情况下不会，你面前只会有更多防空导弹等着你），敌人也可以马上叫截击机进场在你脱出之前就把你轰成渣。尽量在敌军防线的平行线上发动空袭，而不是一头扎进敌军防区，这样的话你的电子战飞机更容易活着回到友军空域并安全脱出。在你计划第一步如何发动袭击的时候就应该充分把这一点考虑进去。
4. Due to your SEAD missile’s superior range the radar should be down before the SAM ever reach you. 由于你的导弹射程更远，在反击的防空导弹打中你之前雷达平台就应该已经被摧毁了。
Remember that without the radar, radar-guided SAM is simply an over-propelled rocket; slight evasion of a rokkie pilot should be able to dodge it. This is the main reason why EW with long-range SEAD missiles is preferred.
记住，只要打掉了雷达，雷达制导的防空导弹不过就是个装多了燃料的火箭罢了；即便是新手飞行员都可以轻松避开。这也是有长程反雷达导弹的电子战飞机更吃香的原因。
5. If SAM platforms are situated together, ECM will kick in occasionally (don’t depend on it). Crew exp helps evasion. 如果有多个防空导弹平台部署在同一个防区里头，飞机上的电子干扰有时会起到救命的作用，但是别指望它每次都能救你。飞机乘员的经验值对增加回避率也有少许帮助。
If you have confirmed intel that there’re three or more SAM platforms in the vicinity, consider directed artillery barrage or even a land push instead of wasting your valuable plane. EW is for piercing a hole in the enemy IADS zone and providing opportunity window for following ground attack planes, not for suicidal mission to take on three or more incoming missiles at the same time. Sniping one or even two SAM platforms with a SU-24 however is totally doable and less resource-consuming than the other options.
如果你有确实的情报显示周围有三个或三个以上的防空导弹平台抱团，考虑用地面观察员辅助火炮覆盖或者直接从地面推进，别浪费你珍贵的飞机。电子战是为了在敌方的放空区上捅个窟窿，以提供后续的攻击机空袭窗口，并不是为了在三四个防空导弹的齐射中丢了性命。用一架SU-24狙击一个甚至两个防空导弹平台则完全可行，而且较之其他方案来说省时省力。
6. 2nd SEAD missile hit and target destroyed. Not a scratch. 第二枚导弹击中并摧毁目标。本体毫发无损。
Conclusion
Learn to decide target priority: SPAAGs can be annoying when your plane is doing low altitude ground attack runs, stunning your plane and render it useless until evac, but generally speaking they are not lethal to fixed-wing aircraft without multiple presences. SPAAGs are designed for killing helicopters and deterring ground attackers, and even if your plane is damaged it can limp away back to high altitude and evac to safety; it’s the SAM platform that truly shoots your precious plane out of the sky. Always attack the SAM platforms first when you are trying to break a IADS zone, the SPAAGs can be easily dispatched later with other more cost-effective means.
学会决定目标优先级：自行防空炮可以在你的飞机进行低空对地任务的时候击晕乘员，使其在脱出前都无法再做任何有用的事情，这一点会让人很烦躁；但大体上来说只要不是集火，它们对于固定翼飞机来说并不致命。自行防空炮设计目的是为了击杀直升机并对攻击机产生威慑，即便飞机被击伤也仍然能够拖着黑烟爬升并安全脱出；真正能够把你宝贵的飞机从空中抹去的是防空导弹平台。在你试图破坏一个综合防空区的时候，总是先把防空导弹平台干掉，自行防空炮可以在晚些时候用其他更有效率的方法解决掉。
A notable exception of this is 2K22 Tunguska series; it runs an infrared SAM package alongside its radar-guided AA gun. Experienced players would disable its gun when spotting an incoming EW plane, making it “invisible” to SEAD missiles, and use the infrared SAM to shoot you down. Be very careful around those things.
一个需要注意的例外是2K22通古斯卡系列；它在使用雷达制导防空炮的同时还有一套红外制导的防空导弹。有经验的玩家只要一旦发现迫近的电子战飞机，就会马上关闭它的主炮，使得反雷达导弹失效，并使用红外导弹打下你的飞机。一定要格外小心。
