Complaints about A-10A guns

[ShadowVonChadwick]

Couldn't resist that one.

 

And I notice your Viper lover, cool just spent a few weeks getting FF5 campaign to run past 24 hrs. We lived Falcon4 back then.

Hows your knowledge base. Got to over 70 hours and ran out of AI pilots to help man fights.

.

Cheers

Can the ground ricocheting effect of Gau-8 be reduced? Not completely removed but decreased the number of ricocheting rounds.

^^^ Great! Thanks :thumbup:

Thanks for the tips guys... Now the GAU-8 is somewhat more acceptable... & it's easier to see what one is shooting at...

 

I set the "pula" model type & it really rocks seeing in replay tracks slow motion bullet by bullet hits to armor...

 

I would really like to see some smoke to those explosions... anyone came up with any smoke after explosion mod?

Anyone figured out how to improt A10A FC1 gun explosions to FC2?

Or the ones of DCS A-10C to FC2?

pula = ??

[Aries]

pula = ??

 

Yep... "pula" is the name of the 3D model of a gun shell so every bullet from the GAU-8A could be visble when firing...

 

Read the previous posts and leave the question marks out in tha future, my fellow flyboy... :smartass:

I was wondering if this was still being developed / refined / improved ?

or better still made into a Modman Mod for us non-nerdy pilots. :D

 

I've just made the switch to FC2 and miss tearing up the ground with the GAU-8. You know these tracers bounce off the water too?...weird, it just doesn't feel right.

Wow, this is much better...great work, thx.

 

Can the explosions and smoke be improved ?

And what's the goal of increasing tracer lifetime?

 

I'd recommend not to be frustrated of ricochets numbers... take a look at well known video of minigan firing from the helo. The probability of ricochet FOR EACH shell is calculated and it depends on the terminal angle. This probability derived from the real FT for artillery where "R" mark is used to plan "ricochet firing" as a kind of firing.

 

For those who do not believe that the shells bounce from the water surface - take a look at this video at 1-20

 

 

keep in mind that combat mix for the naval 30 mm has more HEI than API

That may be all technically and scientifically correct, but it looks crap in game.

 

Maybe a few of the tracers do bounce of the water.....when fired from a BOAT at about 12 feet from the surface!

 

Also in FC2 the water splashes are practically non-existent.

 

It's an all round weak effect, they need more oomf! I've just switched from LOMAC to FC2 and there is a MASSIVE difference in the effects...very dissapointing.

 

Cool music on the video tho' :D

The game is a simulation, so technical and scientific correctness is a high priority. The plashes in FC2 are about as big as they ought to be for the round size.

I disagree with you , I think they are too small.

What file do I need to alter to change the splash effect ?

[bigcomputerman]

You know what really pisses me off is that the night strafe of the a10 was deleted, why????
