Tbh there is no reason to play the F-102 due to the 106’s Vulcan to begin with, unless the 102 gets some non-falcon offensive options that work.
The 106 is still at the end of the day a gunfighter and a really good one at that, due to the issue of plane guidance hitboxes just being weird and falcons suffering from being hit to kill.
2x SUU-11 pods were seen on the airframe in the 2nd dev server
They will likely be made functional by the time it goes live
Removal of AIM-4F/-G is denied. I wonder where they got the source.
Ask them to list their source, thats actual BS
The snail works in mysterious ways (making things up). My guess is that they just assume they are compatible cause they are of the same missile family, but who knows.
Gaijin should need to do that for every denied bug report to prove it wrong in some way IMO.
On a side note the whole “technical compatibility” thing they do is quite harmful to the game, especially since they aren’t consistent with it.
Here is a new bug report.
[DEV] F-102A Missing AIM-4A/B/C/D Falcon Missiles
The most likely scenarios for this bug report are either: “Forwarded/Submitted as a suggestion” or “Not a bug. These AIM-4 Falcons are inferior, and the F-102A is to use the AIM-4G/-4F going forward.”
it’s good to get it out there still, thank you for the quick work friend
i just wish bug mods weren’t anonymous and could not close comments
There is a good reason for that
A certain Trickzzster incident showed us that
aaaand ohhhh marked as not a bug!!
Sadly.
yep, that’s exactly what they were meant to be used against IRL
Leaving aside that 4 of those missiles wouldn’t fit through the side doors, if this argument were true for the game we would be able to get a F-106 with a combination of 8 aim-26b or xaim-4H missiles between weapon bays and outboard pylons.
But on a nicer note, i found a video proving that the F-102A could and would fly with a combat load of 2 aim-26’b and 4 other aim-4 falcons in the 1974 william tell gunnery trials, and fire them individually:
I still maintain that the missile bays should be grouped up side to side instead of front to back with the same type of missiles, but it’s clear that the FCS isn’t limited to trading 3 aim-4’s for a single aim-26.
Hope they can properly converge, would be at least usable.
I am still a bit sad that no non-contact rocket options seem to be getting explored as that would be the more unique way to make the aircraft relevant.
The wsem “reads” to the FCS as if it were a normal falcon missile, while recording the missile sensor data internally. if you can equip them in the missile rails while firing, you would be able to fire the real deal.
Is F-102A getting any gun pods like Suu-11 7.62mm or Suu-16 20mm Vulcan Which hasn’t been confirmed for use on the aircraft, but was allegedly possible ?
it’s likely to receive the SUU-11, as it’s been seen in 2 different forms already on dev
lowk the bug reporting manager rlly needs to be fired like why do they always add stuff or remove stuff when they have no source whatsoever
