any reason that the F-18 has weapon control listed twice on its detailed modeled and the Su-30 has it only once? are these accurate or did they just kind of put these here

Will jf-17
Jh-7 and j-10 get ls6(500)
Kd-88?

su30 also has it twice

that’s guidance weapon control which is listed twice, weapon control is only listed once. guidance weapon control is listed once on the F-18 but weapon control is listed twice

just like in the hornet

guidance weapon control and weapon control are different I think

weapon control might be the gun?
and guided weapon control all kinds of missiles?

for the first 20s sure

fairly certain weapon control doesn’t let you use weapons at all where as guidance weapon control is for guided weaponry like air to ground munitions could be wrong though

i dont think that it makes a difference anyways since the moduels are so close together in both the Su-30 and F-18 that they will more likely than not be destroyed at the same time

Yesterday while using the SM2 in the test flight, after getting hit by the SPAA, which resulted in yellow damage to the HUD components, I couldn’t use radar, missiles and drop chaff and flare.

I guess it’s just not listed yet, I wish I had recorded it tbh.

probably, I just know the detailed model on the F-18 sucked so bad cause one small hit wouldn’t allow you to shoot missile guns or use countermeasures it was so bad

yea they dont list that anywhere happens a lot on the F-18 the detailed models are kinda a much bigger nerf than they seem


seems the mig29 is next on the chopping block : (

I think they are a good thing to be fair, just not for a mode like air RB where even small hits can occur.

If the modes where a bit more realistic and smaller in number of players, these damage models would be great, afterall even in real life these sytems can fail with small damage.

Now more than ever while playing Flankers etc. you have so little error room

yea I like the idea of them I just think they need to be a bit more refined. I also dont like them adding them to vehicles one at a time too cause its quite a nerf when one vehicle has it and the other doesn’t, kind of similar to the turret baskets on tanks, doing them one at a time is a poor choice just do them all and then add them all at once when they are all ready

This I absolutely agree with.

Judging by the level of detail on them I guess it takes much time, but as confirmed last week by Smin, they are still planned to be rolled out little by little :)

kinda sad its gonna be much less likely to get an R73 off when flatspinning after you been shot down now.

Indeed, now it’s only the rafale left that can pull off these type of kills easily.
