BLU-107 Durandal too powerful.

[Capn kamikaze]

I've been playing with this, and it is "killing" structural/map items hundreds of feet to either side of the runway.

Due to how it works, it is meant to bury itself into the runway, about 15ft down, and then blow the runway up.

On testing it on the Nevada map on the runway at Beatty, I am seeing smoke and fire along the edges of the runway about 3-400ft away either side, especially at the northern end with the buildings.

This doesn't seem right, as most of the explosive power should be contained in the runway, and not be damaging things hundreds of feet away.

That would be an ED issue….

Perhaps, but maybe not, the Durandal is only on the F-15E, so it may be theirs.

ED controls weapon effects. Again, not F-15.

That's not really true, both ED and third parties have control over it, for example the AIM-54 on the F-14, a lot of that weapons performance is determined by Heatblur, there's plenty of threads on the forums about them tweaking it.

I’m trying to point you in the right direction. You don’t wanna listen. That’s fine. But you are posting about it in the wrong place.

its on the Mirage F1

[Ivandrov]

Yep, third parties can tweak how the weapon interacts with the aircraft, but something like blast radius in this case is an ED thing.

I think the BLU-107 is also available on the Mirage, as it is a French designed weapon, after all.

BLU-107 was first added to the Mirage F1, and if you count the Type 200, the JF-17. It is not on Razbam to fix this, it's on ED.
