Sam Sites Can Now Show Below There Height
# SamsShootDown
Stops players from avoiding SAM Sites by flying helicopters below their elevation.
Overview
By default, Rust SAM Sites will only engage airborne targets that are at or above the SAM Site's height. This allows players to fly minicopters and other aircraft at very low altitude to bypass SAM defenses.
SamsShootDown removes this height restriction, allowing SAM Sites to target aircraft regardless of whether they are above or below the launcher.
Features
- 🚀 SAM Sites can target aircraft flying below their own elevation.
- 🚁 Prevents low-altitude minicopter bypasses.
- ⚡ Lightweight Harmony patch.
- 🔧 No configuration required.
- ♻️ Works automatically after loading.
Use Cases
- Protect monuments and compounds from low-flying aircraft.
- Make SAM Sites more effective on uneven terrain.
- Prevent players from exploiting terrain to avoid missile locks.

Notes
This plugin modifies the SAM Site targeting logic by removing the vanilla height check while leaving the rest of the targeting behavior unchanged.
