Kerberos Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 when reading through the FAQ is saw this: Q: Will we be able to use Weapon X? A: If the real 3.1 A-10C use the weapon, chances are you will. If it doesn't, probably not. Do note that a weapon having been tested with an aircraft is not necessarily the same as the weapon being actively used by operators of the aircraft. A-10C payloads in the simulator are based on information from the United States Air Force. (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=955106) i have searched the forum but havent found a discussion about it and google has not helped either.:huh: Does anyone know what weapon is referred to here? 1

Rhino4 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 The mysterious and ever-deadly WEAPON X! Don't listen to GG. He's attempting to mislead you as to the extremely powerfull weapon available only to the select few who have managed to fly over 1,000 hours in the game. The weapon has a 100% pk and will hit any target you want without even having to find the target with sensors first. It READS YOUR MIND, MAN! GG is trying to cover it up, but I KNOW! It's a government conspiracy! I'm not crazy! I'm not! *Being dragged away by loony-bin people* It's a real weapon! I read so on wikipedia! I'm not craaaaaaazy! LoL... 1

GGTharos Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Realize that there are people who might be buying this sim that don't know much of anything about weapons, or they might be relatively young - or there might be a language barrier or all of the above. They can raise questions that seem dumb to you, but they're quite legit. I don't know which one of those applies to you, or if it was just a brain fart, which does happen :D Either way welcome :D oh i see. ^^ the quetion was probably not so smart.

amalahama Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 oh i see. ^^ the quetion was probably not so smart. I was only kidding :) sorry if it wasn't funny for you at all. But this remind me one of the first lessons at the University, on Calculus or Algebra (I can´t remember). The lecturer was writing on the blackboard some equations with the euler number in it (you know, e...) and then one of the students raised his hand up to ask what the number e was, a variable or what... nerd-ly funny :D Regards!

Certainly a candidate for the Golden Banana Award, but definitely not the outright winner - we've had some clangers of late, trust me :) Weapon X is a generic term, in this instance the 'X' being a substitute for any number of weapons/questions that the end-user might ask. Rather than list the entire USANG arsenal past, present and future, X is substituted instead. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

(http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=955106) But honestly I´ve to say that those kind of questions are really a bit confusing. The question and the Answer dont really seem to be sensefull, espacially for newbies. I know that this is a special thing which is difficult to expalin even in a few lines, so it´s pretty commonly formulated, to not specify a certain weapon, but it could have been formulated on a more understandable way. Weapon X is a generic term, in this instance the 'X' being a substitute for any number of weapons/questions that the end-user might ask.

Avilator Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 They could have said "insert weapon name/designation here." But that wouldn't have led to any friendly comedy trolling.:D And that's just not acceptable.:( I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"
