Tippis Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I've tried to search for it without luck (although admittedly, my search-fu leaves a lot to be desired), but is there an official post or release note somewhere that explains why so many of the Mav models can no longer be equipped on the Harrier in the loadout screen? It used to be that you could load D, E, G, H and K-model mavs not that long ago — today, E and G are the only available options. Weirdly, old missions that have Harriers equipped with any of the other models will still have them, so it's not like they leave empty pylons or any real game breakage. You just can't reequip them or save those old loadouts in the mission editor because that leaves empty slots where the previously available models would be. So what happened? Is there any info on if/when we might get them back? ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies. You are a Goon. ❧ ❧
joey45 Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) The harrier was only equipped with 2(3?) types of Mavs. Edited May 1, 2019 by joey45 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Tippis Posted May 1, 2019 Author Posted May 1, 2019 Ooook… that doesn't quite answer the question though. In fact, it just raises more questions: will they be stripped from old missions? Will the manual be rewritten to remove all references to them? Why are there delivery modes to support them if they aren't supposed to exist? ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

Tippis Posted May 1, 2019 Author Posted May 1, 2019 I mean that, for instance, EOMV is still available and selectable, which is consistent with the manual but not with the actual availability of weapons. ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

Nealius Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 EOMV would probably be a remnant left over from older days when the Harrier may have carried TV Mavs in the decades prior to the specific airframe/avionics Razbam is simulating.
Tippis Posted May 2, 2019 Author Posted May 2, 2019 My point is, why did they leave it — and the manual description, and the ability to actually still fly with the things — in when they removed the ability to fit them in new missions? No matter which way you try to turn on this, there is some very odd things going on and I'm simply asking if any of this has ever actually been announced or explained, and when we can see either problem resolved (whichever they end up consider being the actual problem)? ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

It has been announced and explained and will be resolved asap. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Tippis Posted May 2, 2019 Author Posted May 2, 2019 Neat. Do you have a link to it? ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies. You are a Goon. ❧ ❧
