Awesome! Two questions. Can you please make a video tutorial for countermeasures use in the A-4? Second can you please ask the community dev team if they'd be ok with the A-4 being an AI only asset by default in DCS? That we they can be included everywhere. Plus i spoke to Chizh or Nineline once a while back asking them the same thing. They said yes, they just needed a nod from the community Dev team and it's a go!

I think the team has talked with ED about adding the model to the base game, but there are some barriers that are keeping it from happening. It’s truly a shame, but hopefully someday it gets worked out! As for a countermeasures tutorial, that’s a great idea. I might wrap it up into a broader “guide to combat” or “tips and tricks” video down the road

i was wondering, is there any way to make the missile fire button separate from the guns fire button

Hey sport, do hills interfere with the ground radar's solution for computer bombing? I've built a mission around a pop up attack against an artillery firebase on a large hill. While I initially built it around a rockeye attack, I've been forced to switch it to rockets because for some reason, on this hill, LABS makes your bombs fall way past the target every time.

@SportDCS

Жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t say they interfere, but it’s certainly a factor. The slant range is dependent on where you grab the ground level, so if you grab it ahead or behind your intended target, and the elevation is significantly different, the weapon release computer will calculate for that point. I have a bombing computer video coming out soon that goes over different techniques. Maybe I’ll include a section about hilly terrain. Another factor could be your dive angle. Too shallow of a dive angle might not give a good target resolution for the radar and result in a mis drop. Bombing is an exact science!

Is it normal for the guns to fire with the trigger when I use the Aim 9s? I have to either turn off my guns, or deselect GM ARM in order for my missiles not to fire when I use my guns

So you can only use the internal guns once? How does the nitrogen bottle thing work?

You get about 3 arming cycles with the nitrogen bottle on board. Every time you turn them “off” it clears the round from the breech.

That's where that fkn target is?!?!! Friggin hell I spent literally 4 hours, FOUR HOURS, doing run after run after run trying to figure out where they wanted me to hit by trial and error. Seeing how far I was off each time and trying to get closer and closer. I was positive it was those stupid white containers. Because the F10 communications menu to have them pop smoke on the target doesn't work.

The SEAD mission is also stupid as hell because they tell you not to launch until you are 10NM away, but at 15ish to 20ish NM the fkn SA site fires at you. I hate missions like that. You have literally NOWHERE to hide and do a popup attack either, because they start you on a carrier and direct you to the target entirely over the ocean...

all my shrikes go always dumb as the one you fired at 10:40.. they do not loft and go down instead, I've tried 12.000ft, within 8nm and even closer.. I've never managed to make one work..dunno where's the problem :/
