F-16 rockets missing feature.

Currently in-game you can only fire a single rocket from a rocket pod at the time. This is realistic, but with the actual rocket pods you can manually change the firing now from single to ripple by turning a knob on the rocket pod. When in ripple mode you can hold down the weapon release button and launch all the rockets, or tap the button to fire in salvos. Keep in mind that in ripple mode it is almost impossible to fire just a single rocket because of delays in the signal etc. And your will most likely fire at least three rockets even if you only want a single rocket. This is a feature and could be implemented in a similar way to gbu laser codes in the kneeboard.

The F-16 can fire any number of rockets on a single WR button press configurable by the pilot. With the LAU configured for one release per pulse then the number of release pulses is set by the ripple value held by SMS.

 

It is the case that if X rockets are set on SMS but pilot releases WR before all X rockets are fired then less than X rockets will be fired. Considering the SMS capability the value of having LAU configured for all-at-once is diminished.

Hi!
Any news on this? For now, we can only fire singles or in pairs.
