Kh-41 on Su-33

[159_Archer]

Is it correct that the '33 can no longer carry this weapon in FC2?

 

I thought in RL they were able to do so; shame if we have lost this facility -the 159th made some use of it!

 

We'll just have to go back to the anti-shipping drawing board...:book::pilotfly:

[Boberro]

No Su-33 and Kh-41 is completely fictional. In real life it doesn't have avionics to use it. It could carry it only as static model eheeh :D

[Robin_Hood]

Should be possible to carry a mock-up Kh-41 :megalol:

 

Anyway, Su-33 is practically fictional already :music_whistling:

Care to explain that?

[Robin_Hood]

Just kidding, because the Su-33 is seeing very limited service ;)

[159th_Jojo]

The Chinese are looking into acquiring Su33s for their new Carrier.

[Avimimus]

Can't the Su-33 gain a limited anti-shipping capability using the Kopyo pod?

[S77th-konkussion]

Even if it posessed the avionics it's just impractical. That missile belongs on a Bear or something..

 

Still was kind of fun though...

I don't know the gory details of the relational / comparative history of the 33 vs the 29K but isn't the 29K quite a bit more modern and up to speed? More serviceable?

 

I'm sure they say they're looking at it- due dilligence. But would they really buy it? Certainly not anything resembling the LOMAC model. The 33 is stuck in the 70's.. All it needs is a tie-dye paint job, and peace signs on the V-STABS

 

Don't freak. For LOMAC purposes- I spend almost ALL my fighter time in the 33. Ask anyone. :D

[Grimes]

Thats a shame.

 

I gotta wonder if its possible to modify the mission text file and put the KH-41 on a Su-33 via CLSID so its built into the mission itself. If the missile is still functional I might consider doing that for a co-op or something. I remember a while back I played a co-op that put a pair of Kh-31s on the Su-33, and it worked the same as the Kh-41.

 

Ok editing the mission text file works. I didn't look for the Kh-41 CLSID since no aircraft can equip it anymore so I put a pair of Kh-31s onboard. I can't get a targeting diamond to show up though. But the old procedure of going to A2G mode and turning the radar on worked... just need that target diamond.

I want my Kh 41 back. OK so it's not really in use, but that applies to the Su25T and the KA50 is all but dead. So can we suspend reality a bit for the sake of some fun guys. There's always a compromise between reality and gameplay / enjoyment. If we were reality freeks most of us wouldn't be in the cockpit at all. :cry:

[GGTharos]

Not only is the Kh-41 not in use, but AFAIK it was never even test-fired from a Su-33. This capability is not even 'limited numbers', it is entirely fictional.

Just like Kh-25ML on Ka-50 ? :smilewink:

So, please give us Kh-41 back on Su-33 & MiG-29K :P Just for fun...just for fictional fun :)

[Grimes]

GG... if you put the missile onboard the aircraft anyway is the code there to allow it to work?

[GGTharos]

I don't know the answer to that ... yes/no ... as in, you can make it work with a little effort I suspect.

[159th_Viper]

Who do we formally petition to get the Moskit reintegrated into FC2?

 

Have to witness the sight/sound of a squadron of 33's launching Moskit's with Toads in SEAD support to appreciate - really adds a lot, notwithstanding it's fictional nature. Has to be a way, surely.....

 

:)

[GGTharos]

I'll bring it up, maybe the devs will decide to put it back in.

Its possible to put anything on the aircraft. I put a pair of Kh-31's onboard the Su-33 by modifying its payload directly in the miz file via a text editor. I couldnt fire though since I had no target diamond.

Appreciated - Ta :)

[GGTharos]

Did you try assigning targets to your planes?

[Grimes]

The target was inside of the a targeting area... I'll do some testing with the A-10 to see what it takes to have the diamond show up... I'll also search for the proper Kh-41 CLSID

[Grimes]

You need AI to spot the target first... I could only get it to work with mudspikes. But the missile does launch :D

[Avimimus]

I'll bring it up, maybe the devs will decide to put it back in.

 

Wouldn't a subsonic anti-shipping missile make more sense (or a Kh-31)?

 

I'd personally much rather have a LAU-68 (who needs extra ammunition?) or a KAB-500L...

[Rhinox]

Hm, this looks to me too real for "entirely fictional" weapon...

[GGTharos]

It is certainly a good looking mock-up ;)
