Guns and Rockets...oh my....

[BaD CrC]

Hi Gents

 

The Gun+rocket version we are going to release is fictional if we refer to what ALAT used.

That's why the liveries are named "fictional" the same way there's no british or american "Viviane" Gazelle.

 

I guess this will all be up to the player/mission creator to have gun only and rocket only configured Gazelles in the missions to stick more to reality. But from a gameplay point of view, it is also nice to have a mix configuration even though this is not really available IRL.

I concur. Like in the Razbam M2000, you can load mixed payload (bombs+rockets) even though in the real aircraft that's not possible because of ballistic computer limitations.

... it is also nice to have a mix configuration even though this is not really available IRL.

A gun and rockets mix looks to be a realistic configuration for the SA 342K but perhaps there's not enough (unclassified) info or it's not a configuration used by the ALAT.

 

Hence Polychop needing to use 'best guesses' and 'artistic licence' rather than factory specifications, etc. to bring an ALAT version to DCS but I'm only guessing.
