I just wanted to tell you guys how excited I am to see a Pacific theatre in the works. I can't wait to support you in this process. My dream would be able to fight a battle of Midway someday or at least be able to have carrier on carrier battle with torpedo bombers.

Your absolutely right. We didn't need those either. Deka has said the next module will either be a J-8II F or a Q-5. Personally I'll be thrilled for either.

They've said every carrier capable aircraft will work on it.

I used the laser. And I pressed the weapon release as soon as the cue started moving down the line and the bomb released as soon as I pressed the release well before the vv. The gbu 2 tried to fly to the trget but couldn't quite make it.

Thats what I expected but I had it release way early and fall very short.

How does CCRP work in this? I get the bomb line and a little box but I've had the bomb release when I press the weapon release early. Do you have to manually time when to hit weapon release? Thats close enough for gbus but not dumb bombs.

I've had a few go wild but the vast majority hit the target. I'm guessing the wild ones are because they are beam riding right now and not spot tracking and they lost the beam. But I actually enjoy the occasional zinger. I'm sure it happens in real life,

Thanks bignewy, my search skills failed me

Is there a timestamp for the F4U Corsair stuff?

I have a friend who has put a monumental amount of effort into making a campaign and hes interested in submitting it to ED to sell. I cant find the post though were they talk about how to do that, anyone know where it is?

Wow. Your taking it a little harshly I think. Well fly it only as Pakistan or Myanmar and you're all set:thumbup:

While it would be cool I'm not upset about not being able to use the rifle. In the real world Kiowa pilots were deadly with them, but what we would end up with in dcs would be something like the door gun implementation but only semi automatic. And with how the infantry is in DCS I don't think its much of a loss. Then you have to consider that the ai would have to fly while you gun, and there not going to get you close enough to hit targets with a rifle. You'd have to have multicrew first.

So after all our anxiety about the rockets and armor I tested them on a T-72. Frontal hits did nothing and side and top hits were kills. Sounds about right to me.

Ok, its got good selective jettison did I miss something?

Well it would probably be more appropriate to call "purple" than red. The main thing though is that it is the most not blue modern full fidelity fighter we have. I've certainly caused headaches with the mig-21 for hornet drivers online, but if they're flying their 18's how they should be I shouldn't stand a chance in the 21. This is a believable redfor that wouldn't be out of place on the Iran side of the map. I've also been assuming Georgia has bought some to use against Russia for missions I've made too though.

So my initial impressions. So far pretty good. I'd like to see the textures improve but it looks decent in VR. It's hard to judge when so new to a module because I'm not sure what is user error or a bug but I think this will turn out well. Oh and thanks Deka for the detailed known issue list before launch. That's something the F-16 really could have benefited from.

What kind of controls are you using? Aside from what's already been said, I teach to very slowly increase power and when you start to get some kind of lateral or fore or aft movement stop moving the collective/throttle neutralize the movement with the cyclic, and then start adding power very slowly again until you get another directional movement. Go slow. And how ever much you think you need to move the cyclic, move it less. Helicopters are very touchy and every input affects every other.

In that case, oops.:doh:

Sounds like a win:thumbup:

That really isn't the point. Yes they can take out light and medium armor. Yes they can overwhelm active defenses. Yes a single lucky hit could kill an MBT. It just doesn't make sense though that a weapon of this size could reliably one hit kill a modern MBT whether its American, Russian, German, Chinese, or Israeli. And no one is doubting the performance of the SD-10 either, just that the Aim-120 is known to under perform. Other missiles were as well to the same degree but now we will have one accurate missile in a sea of inaccurate ones. In any case can we agree to disagree and move past this argument and just be hyped about what looks like will be an awesome module?

Thanks, I missed that. And interesting that he says flight engineer. The proper term would probably be crew chief.

His little twitch profile says he flew pavehawks in the airforce. Whether thats true or not?

Isn't worht dealing with twitch BS. Would be nice to get it on youtube.

I read his comment as sarcasm but I don't know for sure.

I don't doubt that they are armor penetrating but doesn't it sound a bit much to one hit kill an abrams with one? A salvo of a few of them or one to a specific spot ok but it does strain credibility to think it could penetrate the frontal armor. Then again I do not know as I have no first hand knowledge of the weapon system. Based on what the development team knows Loop8back, is this really accurate? Thats an honest and not a sarcastic or rude question.
