CybrSlydr Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Wondering if these kinds of munitions are in the pipe for the future, such as the BLU-107 or others?
macedk Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Many have wished for a runway damage model, almost since day one :) So far nothing i'm afraid.

mvsgas Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 BetAB-500ShP is a runway damaging bomb. Not sure the effect in DCS since I have not used them in a long time. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

j-tk Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 You can "pretend" with many bombs we gave now, but we are all hoping for the eventual, and longer lasting runway damage model. I'd love a crater that stops air ops (for MP servers), that woukd have a repair time of say 5 minutes on MP or permanent for single player.

Well, as far as the ATC is concerned, slamming your plane into the runway does that trick for quite a while.
CybrSlydr Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 Well, as far as the ATC is concerned, slamming your plane into the runway does that trick for quite a while. Always amazes me how ingenious people are at solving problems. :D
Kubiz Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Would also love to bomb the hek out of some runway. Interesting task for some missions and also prevent opposing forces to do that in other missions: runway bombarded - mission failed. ED - just do it :-) GIGABYTE Z390 GAMING X | i5 9600k @4.7 GHz | Noctua NH-U14S | MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti @OCed | Patriot 32GB DDR4 2666MHz | 1TB SSD + 1TB HDD | Win10 | Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog + WarBRD | Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals | 1440p AOC Q2790PQU
Pikey Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 it's available to do right now. If you hit a runway with any bomb it will close it and jam AI. Unfortunately this lasts until the end of the mission. There is even an event for runway death. What isn't modelled is any deformation of terrain, if you are lucky you get a black texture. And also different types of bombs don't do more or less damage, they just stop the runway being in use for AI (and may strip your gear). In reality, a lot of time is spent sweeping runways, even a small bomb would close a runway until safe. Wartime practices aren't modelled. You can use a taxiway. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
j-tk Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I can't wait for the day we get a runway damage model. Especially on say a MP or Dynamic Server where the opposing team had to send crews to repair it.
maths314 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 This very much. I've been hoping for proper runway damage as it would be a huge game changing dynamic for MP. Unfortunately the years just keep rolling by and I've never even heard a comment from anyone at ED about it. It basically eliminates the OCA (Offensive Counter Air) task which is a pretty central part of any air campaign without it.
gunterlund21 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 It appears to work in single player [ATTACH]201344[/ATTACH] If you run this mission in super slow there is a beautiful shock wave that comes off the exploding bomb. Nice touch. I was in Art of the Kill D#@ it!!!!
maths314 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 So I did a forum search as far back as 2016 and I haven't found a single response from anyone at ED regarding the current state of, or future plans for runway cratering. What gives?
