Nerdwing Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Hello there! I apologize in advance if I'm missing something, but I came to a weird conclusion earlier and decided to report it as a bug since it sort of fits the criteria. I made a little CA mission with an AH-64D engaging T90's at standoff range. The Apache, armed with its AGM-114K's, would only engage at 5km. This is, I assume, due to it not using the radar at all to engage targets with that variant. Instead, it has to use the conventional laser designation as per the rest of the family, I assume? However, upon looking through the game files to try and find an explanation, I came to realize the AGM-114L doesnt have any entry in the db_weapons_data.lua file! This means that the missile apparently cant be assigned to any aircraft, it would appear. As a result, the AN/APG-78 radar and its ~8km range are pretty much useless it'd seem :( The Apache closes to within 5km of the enemy T90's, and risks eating a Refleks to the face as a result. Is the Longbow Hellfire simply not complete/ready for implementation on the AI AH-64D? Or was it accidentally removed at some point?
lunaticfringe Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 AH-64D w/AGM-114L = nothing for the A-10C to do.
Nerdwing Posted April 6, 2014 Author Posted April 6, 2014 Not every mission has an A-10C assigned though :P Plus, there's the AH-64D's use in CA as a support asset and such.
flanker0ne Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 AGM-114K is reported to be a SAL (laser guided), and in the LOBL method have 6 km max range. SCOPRI DI PIU': https://www.amvi.it/joinus.php DISCORD COMBINEDOPS The Battle Planning Tool
