+1 More functionality should absolutely be part of the A10C-II, would love to see a mostly complete suite 7 set of tools.

Agreed threat rings, both preplanned and donner, and custom zones should absolutely be added. Its not like the tech for them doesn't exist either.

IMHO what has been done is not a realistic depiction of the performance of chaff against missiles. The previous value was just a better representation. Now they did do this not for that specific reason but they should go back to that value for realism purposes or just remove chaff outright till it can be reworked.

Right I was more talking about latter in a mission when a flag is turned on or unit is killed. Not necessarily at the start.

Pretty much in the title it would be nice to have this setable on the unit card instead of having to do it through the triggers menu a pretty simple QL option imo.

Yeah and tbf american clusters aren't much better either. We just need a total rework of the system something like IL2 or WT.

Probably but they should still be decently resistant being an active PD seeker. Not that the current interaction is realistic with chaff just being flares for radar missiles.

I have a copy of the 2008 -1 manual for the A10 and I was shocked when I first looked through it how much functionality the TAD is missing. We have maybe 20% of what you can do on the page. I was wondering is the -2 A10 module going to expand upon this page at all?

Right and I see no reason that this would preclude the sight from being accurate out to the maximum range it can do so.

Ummm no the shells can make it that far we can debate effectiveness of said shells at said distance but they can fly as far as in the above vid.

I'm in full agreement swift, i'm still of the opinion that the M61 dispersion is still too high. For example we know from both pilots and a USAF film (which I can't find anymore unfortunately) the F104 had an 80% dispersion circle under 4mills and a 100% value under 8. Which is what is sated in the F15-34-1-1 The AAA Vulcan using the default circular clamp has 5mill dispersion value. I also had this footage for the F18 which would seem to indicate this as well. All the rounds fall within 30-40'ish ft from a 6000ft firing range. Which would indicate a 100% circle of around 5-7mills. (target is 20ftx20ft poles are another 5-10'ish ft from the target) Edit: They are in all probability using PGU rounds hence the longer range.

Yeah its a pretty cool weapon and it seems its more advanced guidance is modeled as well, as too how well I have no clue, but it is at least different then normal LGB's.

It really isn't its quite bad compared to a few months ago. And no i'm not I just want it returned to the previous value which from all indications I have is far more realistic. And its not just the amraam the russian, PD/monopulse seeker, missiles are also way to vulnerable as well.

No it isn't, the significant reduction in chaff resistance is ridiculous. Yes other missiles haven't got that treatment yet but that's no reason to undo positive changes to the ones that had been fixed.

Hmm you sure? The first youtube video in particular, it isn't that smooth in DCS.

The GBU-24 was fixed by ED last patch! hopefully it doesn't get broken again! Can't I looked into that a while ago, the EDM files as far as i'm aware are ED's own 3d model format which you export too but not export from.

Updated the mod to V1.8 https://gitlab.com/Nighthawk2174/nhawk---weapons-mod-public-release ----------------------------------------------- V1.8 *Mod now works with current Open Beta Version but is INCOMPATABLE with previous versions. - R-77 New ED thrust added - SD10 - Now uses full drag curve similar to AIM-120C - SD10 - Now uses AIM-120C guidance - SD10 - Tweaked Drag curve/Thrust values - AIM-9L/M - Tweaked Thrust to better match thrust curve values: - AIM-9L/P5 - Tweaked CCM - Some Tweaks to AK630 Ammo *Adjusted weights, muzzle V, Lifetime, Explosive weights, and dispersion. *New Feature -Adjusted explosive damage of MK80 series of bombs, - tweaked explosion visual effects to stay consistent with current values - Gave armor penetration values to most American rockets and bombs (should help with damage on direct hit) - Adjusted explosive damage of Hydra70 HE/HEAT and Zuni rockets. changelog here: https://gitlab.com/Nighthawk2174/nhawk---weapons-mod-public-release/-/commit/add0b2cf28d4a0e65fb2fe7fb216f63d32c0f7c5

I agree the reduction in timer makes no sense and should be reverted to the old value. Kinematically though it's the same as the last patches since the initial change.

Its taken what 8+ years... man i'm just so happy right now; a big thanks to Wags and Habu for making this fix happen. After all the years of threads to finally, essentially be vindicated and to get a more accurate FM that will be more fun as well. The wait was long but the results should be worth it.

The current 27R only got lift changes no drag changes so in essenece the AA10A is a lot slower than the mod (check first post) and the ER is a bit slower then the mod. Here's how the R77's compare: Blue is new ED drag with new thrust Yellow is old ED drag with new thrust Orange is my drag with old thrust Silver is my drag with new thrust Current mod uses old thrust my drag, will update that in the next update when I get a chance.

Yeah adding weapons causes issues in other files that breaks things hence my statement of having to use an existing weapon. I don't know if you can just add the HAWK missile itself though, if you can get the weapon name I don't see why you can't just add it the same way you did the 9x/120. Not sure where the name is though maybe check in the scripts/database folder and see if it declares a "loadout" for the HAWK launcher unit. If it is in there then try seeing if copy pasting that name works.

Yeah when I get time i'll see if what was posted earlier works if it does i might as well just add it.

I havn't touched it recently due to it both still working and just a lack of time as well. I'll look at pushing out an update maybe with some changes to bombs and what not when I can look at it. Hmm I think in theory you could, coppy paste the stats into an existing missile the F14 has and then see if you can tell it to load the 3d model for it. Not sure if it will work, never tried, but hey if it does man that'd be awesome Yeah for all the older missiles I can't really touch guidance that much, I tweaked the PN coefs for a few missiles but raw guidance changes I can't really touch. It seems that the newer stuff has a few more things you can tweak, and I want to see if I can adjust the AIM7 to be a bit more agressive under 5miles, but again can't make a ton of changes.

Yeah there's a real A10 piolt who goes by Habu, the one here on the forums though is not the same guy he just so happened to pick that as his forum name.

Nope this is about modern CIWS which i'm hoping will get fixed especially since the SC is a thing now.
