Well there is also hole’s in the developer’s implementation
e.g. Tornado IDS MFG’s AS.34 Kormoran anti-ship missile being able to track air targets and tank’s at a close range (despite not being able to do this IRL)
and the penguin anti ship missile being able to track tanks
GCS-1 should also be given a benefit of the doubt and get the same treatment
i think you are unfairly attacked? by what you are saying for GCS-1 seeker. which retelling what the developer stance on it.
but i do think that they are doing double standard for AGM-119 (Penguin), which somehow managed to be able lock ground target while bug report said it can only lock onto ships here Bug Report.
while the GCS-1 is using similar seeker, somehow is not able to do the same is kinda hypocritical to me.
Yeah unless there’s a source that clearly states the Penguin can track tanks, then this is some double standard BS, because you can’t say “Uhhhhhh IR munitions designed to attack ships can’t attack tanks because of how IR reflects off the sea differently and the seekerhead is optimized to take that into account” and then go and add an IR munition specifically designed to attack ships while still not adding other ones designed to attack ships. You either add all of them or none of them, don’t tug us around with this double standard crap.
if i recall it could only carry GCS-1 on the wing’s which makes 4 750lb’s and 8 500lb’s, I think due to it being too large to fit 4 in the centre pylon on the F-1’s belly
this is a good take but if a plane is constricted to one playstyle, then its two high a br.
personally, i think 9.7 is fine for the t-2, but for the f-1 10.0 just makes it really constricted.
Also how all the in game man-in-the-loop guided ammunition like the agm-62 ERDL, gbu-15 TV and the aj.168 just erroneously have an AGM-65 seeker. I know they dont want to add that type of guidance but trying to emulate that capability by just using the AGM-65A/B seeker is nonsense, these weapons should be able to track once the target is clearly visible on the TV camera, not 3/6km.
So of they can change a type of guidance to fit in the game why cant they just do that to the GCS-1?
