DukeAngus Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 in real life could or did f/a-18 ever hang an aim9 and an aim120 from the same double mount Lau115?
Tholozor Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 AFAIK putting an AIM-9 and AIM-120 on the same dual-rack mount isn't possible.

79Au Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) I don't understand why they had to remove the old launchers. Just... Why. Some kids like to destroy other kids' toys I guess. Removing content/features (for no technical reason) should be illegal without the consent of the buyer. Why can't we have both. Straight up removing the single launchers was a bad decision.

79Au Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 You're entirely missing or even avoiding my point. Let me repeat, so that you can understand. The "forbidden" launcher was there when the F-18 released, it was there when people purchased the module, and there is no reason to remove it other than a couple hard core purists feeling like their day was ruined if it shows up on their armament menu. This stuff needs to stop. I'd call it bug report abuse, and only a developer like ED would side with those who advocate for the removal of previously developed and paid components of a module. Even if it's just a small launcher, it's not okay to flat out remove it from the game just because someone doesn't like it. This time I'm not asking for UnReAlIsTiC weapons like APKWS, I demand that ED stops listening to fanatics that want stuff to be removed.

Tholozor Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 The single-rail launcher was there on release in error. It should have never released with it in the first place. 6 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/

Gierasimov Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I wonder what rail Fulcrums used to fire those HARMs if you catch my drift. There is absolutely nothing to argue about. ED wants the best for their product and they want to be authentic. They added something, they realized, they corrected. Move on. Does it launch the missile? Yep! I came to this thread thinking "oh no, my favorite module got a wrong item?" I left this thread happy that it has got the correct one.

S Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Wow... I came here wanting to learn something. I learned two things. Some people don't understand the difference between a game and a simulator, and, There's a reason there aren't single-rail launchers on the F/A-18. Pretty cool! 1
