its called a fighter but it cant attack air units????

it says in its voice "stealh figter ready for flyback"

shouldent be stealh bomber???

[Ace22]

The U.S. called it a fighter to throw off the Public and the Soviet Union.


I see what you see, 7nth.


I also see with the attack planes that they should only carry a pair of Sidewinders.

Where did you get your information on the ALRAAM? Because I have not heard of it.

IS THAT ANSWERING MY QUESTION?

The first line answers your question, Karl.

what about a mi8 transport heli and a mi8 attack heli like these for the gla

Those would work for the GLA.

The USA F-117 is getting kinda old compared to these new stealth fighters that can engage aircraft. I would say put in the FB-22 to replace it, posssibly an upgrade.

The FB-22 is a fighter-bomber, so it is still agile enough to take out aircraft. I'm not saying it can go without an escort, just enough to defend itself from light airborne resistance.

All USA aircraft (everything else too?) should have the advantage of being able to drop a bird EXACTLY on a target from very far away. The JSF should have an impressive range for a support craft. This might give them a minimum range for air-ground missiles, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Also, all USA bombs should be jet-propelled.

USA weapons should have minimal splash damage, just a lot of concussion damage so it can destroy the target without killing your units or civilians around them. No impressive fireworks, just a small explosion that levels the War Factory.

To 7th Panzer: Stealth wasn't bad. The flying scenes were cool, but the in-between kinda sucked and there was a little too much of it. Still a cool movie, though.

[Ace22]

O.K. FB-22 replaces the F-117 and can defend itself against other aircraft.
Yes, Range should be long for all aircraft.

I like the concussion idea. Some weapons, like Super-unit weapons should be the exact opposite. Big, powerful explosion, blasting some things a mile away.

[Karlos Vandango]

this one is about laser guided missles

they should not be able to fire at air only at ground and should be able to kill tanks in 1 shot

they should be armed with air to air missles

helicoters should be armed with t.v guided missles insted of rocket pods
they do not miss and can shoot at other helicopters not planes cause there to fast

ummm

[Ace22]

Marbe not 1 shot kills, Karl.

[Ace22]

Yeah, you're right.

That would be cool to see an F-22 do all sorts of crazy flips flying circles around MiGs... until you see the Nanofighter or Switchblade flying circles around the Raptor. Is it possible to code fighters to fly around like maniacs dodging missiles, other fighters, brush the ground(and be momentarily vulnerable to AG fire) and just generally make them look more like skilled pilots who don't fly in a straight line when under fire? The main emphasis is dodging missiles, is there any way to make a plane do a tight turn when someone is locked on and make the missile miss, possibly hitting something behind them? If so, this would be a good upgrade for USA aircraft.

[Ace22]

I don't think they can brush the ground.

[link.the.first]

I would say if a MiG is chasing a Raptor the Raptor tilts a random direction just before the missile hits with a 50/50 chance of evading it, then do some tricks to get behind the MiG and shoot it down. If a SAM shoots at it, it gets a steep vertical climb then veers off course at the last second, again with a 50/50 chance of evading. If machine guns are shooting at it, it will fly around randomly and evade some of the bullets.

Also, make the missiles more powerful and make sure Raptors don't drop more than necessary for a target. Those six Slammers and two Sidewinders together could take out eight MiGs.

[Ace22]

I don't like random chances in computer games. Try something else.

I really agree with you on the non-overkill rule. I hope it can be coded.

Hi all,

Fairly new to the mod, having lots of fun with it.

Ideas for aircraft:

Any thoughts of using a V-22 Osprey for anything?
It's big, faster than a chopper... Every branch of the Armed Forces wants them...
Easy to arm, (Anyone read Dale Brown's book Hammerheads?)
Development is currently stalled at the moment. Would make a creat Special Forces transport. (Blackhawk is almost as old as the F-15)

GLA:

The Gazelle helicopter would make a good light gunship.

Militia:
Old Cobra Gunships would be cool.

China:

SU-35 copies would be awsome as an Air Superiority fighter. especially the one that the Russkies have fitted with Vector thrust nozzles for increased manouverablilty,
