Is there a way to give the Gau-8 Combat Mix?

[5by5]

Hi there.

First off. FC2 is amazing! You've all done a great job.

Been flying the A-10 lots already and noticed that the Gau-8 only fires AP rounds.

Round types can be changed in the aircraft_gun_mounts_.lua (I tried 2A42 HE rounds for fun and it worked).

However, is it possible to modify the lua for proper combat mix (5 AP to 1 HE)?

It would help alot for the realism and maybe make it a little less distracting when all those tracers careen all over the place.

 

Cheers!

As well as this, can we change the Gun Rate from High to Low. I'm sure it's a feature I used to use all the time in LOMAC and FC1, to help conserve Ammo.

 

PS I think the Combat Mix is called a Party Mix

The low gun setting was deleted from the A-10 a while back, so it shouldn't be available, also quoted by GGTharos at least once on this board.

Rate setting was removed from the real A-10A a long time ago.

CM, HEI and TP loads will only be available in DCS: A-10C.

It's a real shame about the High/Low gun rate. I used it a lot, and I could do a lot more damage with it that way. I seem to remember watching something on Discovery about the A10 and one of the pilots they interviewed said most pilots always had it at low setting most of the time. He also said it was the greatest feeling when they first fired it, they were grinning like a big school kid (something I can sympathise with after playing FC2). It has been a while since I watched the documentary though, and I'm getting old and forgetful and confused!!

I guess it is a lot more realistic now with the richochet effect, and you can visibly see the diversion spread of your rounds, I like it .... a lot!!

I never bothered to change it, since high rate of fire works in pretty much any situation for the A-10.

 

It's also gone from the F-15, but there it was even less needed.
