Hey everyone,

I was wondering if there are any plans to add the mk82 series high drag bombs into the game for the A-10 and other US aircraft. I'm thinking either the Vietnam-era clamshell type or the updated airbag type (BSU-49/B Air Inflatable Retarder).

Also, I don't fly the Russian birds very often so I'm a bit unfamiliar with all of their weapons. I was wondering if they have any high drag bombs in the game. This would mean that the physics and code have already been implemented, thus making an addon much easier to include in a patch. Your thoughts?

Yes, the Lock-On have a few retarded bombs in the russian side:

PB-250, ODAB-500PM, BetAB-250, BetAB-500, BetAB-500ShP

That's great news!

 

Any community interest in adding the mk82 series high drag bombs? I can skin textures well, but I'd rather leave the modeling to the experts.

You have to change the .exe to add weapons into the game (with new flight profiles, warheads etc), so only ED can do it.

 

Oh, what about the retarded Mk-84? :p Why did it disappear after the demo?

All the russian bombs are great....if you fly russian planes. What about the ones who are not. I have actually had to fly down lower and lower to see the altitude and airspeed at which I'd get clapped by the bomb so I know how low to go. With drag devices that would not be an issue. I like to mow grass sometimes for fun, but you can fly right through the bomb blast if you're not careful.

Viper, I started a thread about this a few days ago but it was hijacked. What you're asking about is the Snakeye (clamshell fins). I'd like to see something like this for the A10.

Why did they remove the retarded mk-84 after the demo? I mean if the a-10 couldn't carry it, then the b-52 surely can (seen video of the real thing dropping them).
If it's not much heavier or larger than regular Mk-84's (which I doubt they are), the A-10 should be able to carry them. It's just a big lump of metal after all...

Lockon did have the .. I think its called the "balute" parachute thingy that fits on the back of the MK bombs. Not sure how far it was developed but you can see being used in lockon in this prerelease video here ftp://ftp.ubisoft.com/games/lomac/media/A-10_Attacks.zip

 

Why was it removed or why it never made it into the final release is anyone's guess?? To bad because it looks really cool.

Why were the mk-84s removed in the first way? didn't ED like the AIR animation lol :p <--sarcasm (to avoid any hostile remarks)

 

BTW, the Durandal also has a chute in lomac :)

Snakeyes give me wood.

 

You guys dropping snakeyes in other sims watch your 6!

 

...and I'm not talking about the tail of your aircraft either. LOL

I'm thinking Mk84-AIRs and Mk82/83 Snakeyes would make excellent additions! Now we just need someone brave enough to model them, hint hint.
