The Beast Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Im sure this has been asked allready but here it goes if and when BS comes out are there an plans for addtions to current A/c armament inventory?? Which leads to my next question any chance you us getting an Aim-9x in game???
EscCtrl Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I dont think the fighters are getting any major changes if any let alone new weapons - even if they were the aim9x wouldnt be in the list as it is of the wrong era. Hope that helps
Weta43 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Isn't there a rear aspect IR missile for the Nato & I think the Red side coming with LOBS? Cheers.
golfsierra2 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Isn't there a rear aspect IR missile for the Nato & I think the Red side coming with LOBS? IRIS T will have 180° manouvrebility, but that still is experimental. kind regards, Raven.... [sigpic]http://www.crc-mindreader.de/CRT/images/Birds2011.gif[/sigpic]
britgliderpilot Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 IRIS T will have 180° manouvrebility, but that still is experimental. Ah - no. Where "rear aspect" means "it can only be fired from behind". Older tech, not newer. There's supposed to be an older version of the AIM-9 present, and the AMRAAM is being separated out into the AIM-120B and AIM-120C. They're on the screenshots section ;) Not sure about anything else. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg

Well, then we have only stern attacks left for this kind of heater, a big disadvantage in relation to the R-73, which still can be fired from a front aspect. I hope, we wil keep the AIM-9something like it is available now... kind regards, Raven.... [sigpic]http://www.crc-mindreader.de/CRT/images/Birds2011.gif[/sigpic]

There won't ONLY be the AIM-9B, don't worry ;) You can fit your shiny big F-15 with the AIM-9 as you know it . . . . just provides a bit more variation in mission-building, and the need to actually manuevre for a missile shot in a head-on merge if you're just doing things for fun. Not sure if a rear aspect missile has been added for the Russians, should probably go look . . . . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg

Well, I am flying MiG29S only, so personally I don't care about AIM-something, and I usually kill F-15C instead ;) Not sure if a rear aspect missile has been added for the Russians, should probably go look . . . . I think, with the R-60 we already have such a weapon in the inventory, it is poor from rear aspect and impossible from front aspect - you better use your gun instead... kind regards, Raven....

Hope that helps Cool i completly forgot about that my bad!! As far as the 9l/m goes im pretty sure its a rear aspect missile where as the 9x is a all aspect missle. Anyway another quick one here what years does LOFC take place. I cant remember if its late 80s or early 90s. Once again thanks guys
GGTharos Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 The 9L is rear-aspect up to a version, then all-aspect. We're getting the rear-aspect one. The 9M is all-aspect. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
MBot Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Actualy we are getting the AIM-9P-3, wich is the last of the Papa series Sidewinders wich is rear aspect only. That is why I built it :) Since rear aspect technology is added to BS I strongly suspect that ED adds the R-60 wich shares the same externals as the R-60M all aspect missile we currently have.
