Resource Manager, Airport Warehouse, Can't Deny Cannon Reload

Hi,

Back in v1.1.1.1 a Client A-10C could Repair at a Neutral airbase, but could not Rearm.

In v1.2.x in order for a Client A-10C to Repair, the airbase must belong to the A-10C's coalition.

I am able to deny weapons Rearming at these coalition-matched airbases in v1.2.2, except for the cannon, using the Resource Manager - Warehouse In Airport.

I want to Client to have the Repair option, but I do not want the Client to Rearm any weapon including the cannon.

I do not see a line in the Resource Manager to turn off cannon rounds Rearming.

Please add this option to deny cannon Rearming (or tell me if it is there and I'm just not seeing it).

TIA,

WC

The RM is still very much a WIP. Aside from the gun, flares and chaff are also not tracked. I'm not sure when those might be added though. Gun ammunition is sort of a unique munition due to it being relatively small compared to other weapons. For example the current maximum limit for units of an item is smaller than the number of rounds the A-10C can carry.

Just out of curiosity, why need a repair function but no re-arming?

Hi Grimes,

It's a mission called The Highway, quite popular over at SimHQ and runs on Eno's Firehouse. It was designed for fun, after watching ralphidude shuckin and jivin one day w/o any weapons on his A-10C.

Start north of the lake near Krasnodar Airbase and follow the four-lane highway down to the coast. Both sides of the highway are covered with BUK sites so you have to stay low - and lots of convoys with some BTR-80s to shoot at you along the way. All you have are the cannon rounds. Feet wet, head to Novorossiysk where base defenses must be destroyed to capture the base for a win.

In v1.1.1.1 we could Repair at the Neutral Gelendzhik Airbase but not Rearm - no more cannon rounds were available, so if you get cocky and shoot up the convoys there will not be any rounds left for the objective. But with v1.2, in order to Repair, I had to make Gelen a Blue Base and that allows the A-10Cs to reload their cannons. Kinda messed up the premise.

It is a ton of fun to fly the A-10Cs down the highway w/o any weapon weight, skimming the asphalt and dodging the tracers, doing barrel rolls and what not. I threw some F-15Cs in there, too, when v1.2 came about.

Maybe just a checkbox for the cannon Rearm? I understand what you mean about the 100 max limit for stores, vs the ~1200 rounds for the A-10C cannon.
