null It would be immersive if we could select some variations form the Ground Crew Rearming Window and a box where we could select the following options:
Legend : Var = Variation; FCR = Fire Control Radar ( AN/APG 78 Longbow Radar).
Var 1 : No FCR mount. ( red triangule).null
Var 2: Current DCS default option before the FCR was implemented ( 17 march 2022 ~ soon?) (red star).
Var 3: Pointy/triangule mount ( red circule).
Var 4: FCR complete mount. With the AN/APG 78 ( red lightning strike symbol). (we can pick it up but depending on the script on the mp server).
Independent of the script on multiplayer if it would come with or without the radar ( if you join a random server and you have no way of knowing if the slot has the fcr on or not) you could change it on the fly, we would not be tied with the fcr if we do not want to. ( saving fuel and performance and could be a priority depending on the mission).
It would transform the Apache like the HAD changes for the F-16s, it takes a bit of the performance and tilts the aircraft sideways in flight and consumes a bit more fuel with the HAD on than without but, increases the f16 performance on the SEAD/DEAD missions. ( It adds a little pylon under the engine cowling so we could attach the HAD (something we did not had for a long time).
As for the Apache, the visual changes would be on top of the rotor, both in terms of performance ( drag/fuel efficiency) and looks.
Different options would give us different visuals, we could customize the aircraft the way we want, like historical loadouts and needs on the battlefield.
Ps: The name "VAR" could be subjected to change to whatever developers wanted to rename it.
