AStotzer Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Why does the Vikhr missles show up on the hud as 9A4172? But they are also called APU-8. Many of the missions I have practices with use this missle and it's been confusing me a little all along.
bSr.LCsta Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 also if someone could explain the #'s displayed above the stations in ground mode for the Su-33? I can't figure out a pattern, at first I thought the numbers corresponded to the actual bomb type i.e. 10=ODAB 500, but I don't think thats right. is this ok?
GGTharos Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 It's the station number. As for the original post, the 9Mwhatever is the -actual- missile designation (Like the US AGM-65D instead of 'maverick'). The APU-8 is the launcher used for the Vikhr's. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
bSr.LCsta Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 I pretty sure its not the station #, because it is not consistantly the same numbers. That seems redundant anyway. is this ok?
