TB2 UCAV (Turkey) version 1.0.0 released!

Cruise speed seems to be way too high. It is set at 60 m/s, that's 116 kts, just 4 kts short of maximum. Manufacturer lists 70 kts as "travel" speed.

I hope ya realize this, but the armament is incredibly lacking

I get it if you aren't able to get the appropiate models, or have the time to update the weaponry. I was just throwing it out there.

I spend a lot of time on research. I haven't found any of these in use, besides the MAM-C and MAM-L.

The UMTAS (made for the T129 heli) was miniaturized (removed motor etc) and became the MAM-L. The TB2 is a relatively small UCAV (compared to a Reaper for example) and it can only carry up to 150 kg of armaments, the MAM-C is only 6.5 kg (compared to a single Hellfire that weighs around 47 kg). 

The Cirit was miniaturized and became the MAM-C. 

There is no evidence that the APKWS has been integrated to the TB2 yet. 

The Bozok is going through integration now, but it's more or less the same as the MAM, an un-powered laser guided glide bomb. 

Edit: Weapons models are a minor issue, I make them myself.

Okay. I apologize for making assumptions. 

 

I do have a suggestion that you may or may not be able to carry out

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47B

 

The X-47B can carry 2500 pounds of payload. I dunno what exactly it can carry, but i'm sure it can carry at least a small bit of payload

Am I missing something? The links on Currenthill's web site no longer work for me. I see all the models listed but none of the download links are active.

Hey @currenthill I've had no joy with the TB-2 hitting ground targets...

I even make a test mission using some of your assets and the FC3 MiG-29:

TB2 Test 01.miz

I suspect the problem is weapon guidance, respectfully.

Finally, request these two liveries plz:

Strange. I’ve defeated a staggering amount of tanks during testing, from 25 000 ft and down. I’ll take a look.

Thanks @currenthill here's a Tacview look at one munition drop:

 

[Serg5]

Your works are very cool!

Are there any plans to make more Tiger Cornet and TOS-1A Solntsepek?

Check your wind. You're running the mission with storm level wind. A 500 kg UCAV with a miniature super light guided bomb doesn't do well in those conditions. I removed the storm and set the drop altitude a bit higher, so it has a chance to guide the bomb. Targets defeated.

[AvgeekJoe]

Copy, yeah 50 knots of wind and dropping from 1K meters/3K feet AGL may be a problem... so I will do another test in the next 24 hours with much, much less windage & some altitude.

Hey, I love your assets, I wanted to give a suggestion, would it be possible for you to make Istanbul Class frigates?

Wow! It's Beriev 12 relict in the background and looks like it's still active. 

[Gundamator]

CH, any plans to add the Zumwalt with its soon to be added hypersonic missiles? My understanding is that you are already being futuristic with the Type 26 so this shouldn't be unprecedented. 

[AvgeekJoe]

@Freddie wouldn't surprise me.

[mattjonesgr9]

Can you please if possible add a Astute class sub to the UK assets please ?

Thanks for your testing, I think I know what the issue is.

Well done....thanks.

[AvgeekJoe]

I ran my tests with much less wind - LGBs work!  Thanks.

I get an error message when I try to launch my game with your mods installed and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m

The following DLCs are not authorized and will be 
disabled:
Modernized US Navy Ships

I'm getting this also...  Has anyone figured out the cause???

This error shows up because you haven't installed them correctly.

The mods go into the saved games directory, not into the game installation itself.

Hello CH,

As always I am messing around in crazy scenarios in mission editor and noticed that the 3M55M, YJ-18, and YJ-21 all have issues being intercepted, now I know these are designed to be extremely difficult to intercept, but I am seeing cases where the interceptors (in this case) SM-3, SM-6, SM-2MR bIII, PAC-3MSE, PAC-2 GEM/T, and AMRAAM-ER) all can fail to take out the missile even if it manages to contact it and detonate, I have seen an SM-3/ PAC-3MSE smash into it, explode and the missile continues on. I have noticed if I slow the game down and watch the interception it enables it to actually take out the opposing missile (generally at 1/8 speed). Is this due to game limitations, or DCS having issues registering proximity fuses at these extreme speeds?

It also seems a bit odd that intercepting missiles dive down on the incoming missiles making the intercept that much more challenging, but what do I know.

As always that you for your time!
