OperatorJack Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Any chance we'll see something that enables the Huey to take on targets a bit heavier than it already can. I'd love to be able to make insane rocket runs on heavier targets /да бойз/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

If you only looking for some kind of "shoot them up" gameplay you may search for a mod or try another game... i9 9900K @ 5,0GHz | 1080GTX | 32GB RAM | 256GB, 512GB & 1TB Samsung SSDs | TIR5 w/ Track Clip | Virpil T-50 Stick with extension + Warthog Throttle | MFG Crosswind pedals | Gametrix 908 Jetseat [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

FSKRipper Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) XM5 XM9 XM11/XM22/M22 XM30 - Experimental XM31 XM59 with XM213 A/A49E-11 First of all according to your list of weapons and modifications by the US Army, only the door mounted machineguns are carried by the UH-1H. There have also been wishes for the TOW missile and even more exotic Systems (xm-m61) but the developers decided to use the UH-1H as weapons platform (not sure if this could be a license issue with Textron) xm9 - really more firepower than a M134 with rockets? I doubt it... xm11 - seems to be a mix between experimental and field modification. Very little reliable sources found (maybe you have more?) xm30 - as you already said, experimental. never used in numbers. xm31 - the only gun system that I found was used in larger numbers and would be ok from my POV xm-59 - even a 40mm grenade launcher won't deliver you more punch than the 2.75 rockets (and this was the point of the OP) A/A49E-11 - not sure what part of the System you mean as an improvement (http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/bru-20.htm) Edited February 3, 2016 by FSKRipper i9 9900K @ 5,0GHz | 1080GTX | 32GB RAM | 256GB, 512GB & 1TB Samsung SSDs | TIR5 w/ Track Clip | Virpil T-50 Stick with extension + Warthog Throttle | MFG Crosswind pedals | Gametrix 908 Jetseat [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I say if it was ever hung on the helicopter short of static display, add it in. Those who don't like can choose not to use.

Cibit Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 The opening post asked about available heavier weapons, specifically rockets.

FSKRipper Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 What about the XM26 TOW? Sorry the developers stated before the Huey release that this version (only 2? operational prototypes) won't see daylight. Maybe they change their opinion some day but this is the actual stand. No need to be a condescending asshole, pal. Never said and meant something you can make such a judgement. There are mods out tbere (I also use some) which give you another feeling for this game. And If you take trying another game (like BMS) for flaming you should think about your attitude to people you don't know. i9 9900K @ 5,0GHz | 1080GTX | 32GB RAM | 256GB, 512GB & 1TB Samsung SSDs | TIR5 w/ Track Clip | Virpil T-50 Stick with extension + Warthog Throttle | MFG Crosswind pedals | Gametrix 908 Jetseat [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

FSKRipper Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I understand your point of view even if I have a different opinion. I can't tell you the exact reason for their decision. At the moment every developer seems to decide for himself which loadout will be realized in terms of workload and realism. Don't forget we are not flying the Vietnam version of the helicopter. Several developers (ED, Aviodev and LNS) seem to counter this "problem" by creating different versions of the same plane (L-39, C101, F-14). This leaves enough room for creating several weapon lodouts without infuriating the hardcore simmers by adding theoretical loadouts. There were dozens of disscussions (should the F-15C carry bombs f.e.) on this topic but I think the current solution (creating different versions) should get us rid of such disscussions in the future. If you can wait some weeks/months we will get different choppers from Polychop, all are able to fire guided missiles :smilewink: i9 9900K @ 5,0GHz | 1080GTX | 32GB RAM | 256GB, 512GB & 1TB Samsung SSDs | TIR5 w/ Track Clip | Virpil T-50 Stick with extension + Warthog Throttle | MFG Crosswind pedals | Gametrix 908 Jetseat [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
