Hello everyone, quick question, I am preparing a suggestion to change the position of the Mica present as standard on the plane, does the one below seem correct to you?
Spoiler
[poll type=regular results=always chartType=bar]- Yes
- No
Context:
Currently the Mica missiles that we obtain on the Rafale when unlocking it are present on hardpoints 2 and 10, these are the wing hardpoints of the Rafale (as shown in the image above).
Problem :
Since the aircraft can only carry air-to-ground weapons on hardpoints 2 and 10 (except for a central Gbu-24), it is therefore impossible to carry both air-to-ground weapons and Mica missiles before having unlocked the modification corresponding to these missiles. Modification of rank 4 by the way.
Stay within a certain logic :
The Rafale is currently the only top tier aircraft that cannot carry both its medium-long range missiles and air-to-ground weapons before having unlocked the modification corresponding to the medium-long range missiles, in fact all the other aircraft have their missiles placed on mounts that do not prevent this dual carriage.
Solution :
I propose two possible solutions
-
Changes to the basic loadout for the Rafale
The simplest solution would be to move the Mica missiles present as standard on the plane to hardpoints 4 and 8 which are provided for this purpose, this would allow players to have their Mica and to be able to embark simultaneously with their air-to-ground weapons as soon as they obtain them. -
The painful solution :
The painful solution would be to modify all the basic armaments of top tier aircraft so that the treatment provided is the same for everyone:
2.1 : The AIM-54s present under the wings of the F-14s would therefore pass under their fuselage to prevent the carrying of bombs and these missiles before having unlocked them
2.2 : The AIM-120s present under the various F-15s would pass under the CFTs in order to prevent the
carrying of smooth bombs for the F-15C and to prevent the carrying of guided weapons on the F-15E
2.3 : The AIM-120s present under the various F-16s would pass from hardpoints 2 and 10 to points 3 and 9 in order to prevent the carrying of AGM-65s and other guided bombs
2.4 :The R-77s of the Mig-29, Su-27 and Su-34 would pass to hardpoints preventing the maximum carrying of air-to-ground weapons
2.5 : The Eurofighter AIM-120s would move to hardpoints 2 and 12 in order to prevent as much as possible the carriage of air-to-ground weapons before having unlocked the modification of the AIM-120s.
