Hook's UH-1H M-134 Damage Tweak

[Hook47]

Hey fellas,

 

Having real trigger time on the M-134, I believe it's damage capability in DCS is not fully realized in the sim. I'm sure ED will eventually tweak this, however I have created a simple mod to fix this issue for the time being. Remember that I can only use ballistic values provided in DCS, so while it may seem the weapon hits too hard in some situations, bear in mind the real M-134 is quite destructive, and is hitting above the normal weight of the 7.62x51 NATO due to the volume of projectiles and it's ability to mission kill components of even light armored vehicles. 

 

The up shot is infantry will be decimated by the M-134 now, which is exactly how it plays out in real life.... Trust me on this! 

 

INSTALLATION: 

 

Simply copy the attached folder to your DCS World or DCS World Open Beta/Scripts/Database/Weapons directory, and allow overwrite. You may want to consider OVGME if you want to be able to restore your sim version later! This will not pass integrity check... sorry! 

 

I will upload an OVGME version soon! 

 

Enjoy!

To those who may be using this mod- with EDs decision to encrypt LAU files needed to make user mods like this, this mod will be depreciated as of version 2.7...
