Here's the character artwork done for the booth in HD btw, just because I'm excited and I want people to see it as both artists put a lot of work into it. That is, a near-final version of the main cast's character designs also.

Taking out the radar will disable the SAM site and any missiles already in the air. Getting close enough to do so, can be risky. At both long and very short range, you can outmaneuver the SA-2s. At medium range though, you'll need to either terrain mask or fly nap of the earth.

The missiles are now using a more correct "Command" style guidance, with the radar directing the missiles. The missiles depend on the radar for guidance. If the radar is lost, the missiles lose guidance. If the radar switches targets, it'll try to redirect missiles already in the air if possible.
