Sons of Attila - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

The AWG-9 with it’s 10.2 kW has been called the most powerful radar till APG-77 on F-22.
Of course sheer power is not everything. Btw the F-14B we have in game is from 1987, F-15C entered service 1979.

@Smin1080p Where do I report bugs from the dev server? I currently am having an issue with dropping bomb series and when I attempt to use it I get, “Drop bomb series command is blocked by active weapon selector.”

There is a bug on live where using Bomb series with weapon selector results in all bombs being dropped sequentially no matter the amount selected. This might be their “fix” to straight up block the 2 being used together. You’ll probably need to set a binding to disable weapon selector or use Ripple modes

Thank you!

I don’t know but it’s upsetting when trying to drop 12-24 bombs you know.

Ripple modes can allow you to select 2, 4, 8 or 16 bombs, and that can be cycled/chosen in flight. So might be worth giving that ago.

Nope didn’t fix it.

Interesting… When using ripple modes are you using your normal drop bomb/fire secondary key, or are you still pressing bomb series button?

When I press the normal drop bomb button it only drops one and when I use the drop bomb series button it doesn’t drop any and gives the same error.

Is there dev datamaine list?

Right okay.

For bomb series
So. Set a binding for “Exit selected weapon mode”. Press it first, and it will disable “weapon selection” and then bomb series should work normally. (this is required on live too, but rather than throwing an error, it just dumps all bombs)

For Ripple modes
set a binding for “Secondary Ripple mode quantity” and then cycle the through the desired amount of bombs by pressing it. Then when you press your normal single bomb key, it will drop that many. (also works with rockets)

The Russian BIAS is so annoying Gaijin come on ffs.
Really another NATO Tank with no Hull Armor and that after three Years REALLY?

Why has every 0815 Russian MBT Hull Armor while on the NATO Side only the STRV122s that is ridiculous.
Same goes for M1A2 SEP, totally ignored the better Hull Armor reported in countless Bug Report WITH unclassified Sources.

Same goes for Thermals Optics, few NATO have good Optics but RU many

When I turn off weapon select it does not let me use the bomb series at all. And the ripple mode is not doing anything either.

I’m calling it now. I’ve seen enough from the Tim’s Variety video. R-73 is certified GOOD missile. On par with AIM-9L, and I hope the 9L improvements are good, otherwise it will take 9M to keep the gap close enough.

MiG-29SMT seems to have a better flight model too, but that could just be my eyes deceiving me.

ET likes flares btw. Really is going to be best at catching people WAY off guard. Pretty niche, I’m not concerned about it.

RU doesn’t get thermal on it’s MBT’s until 10.3, and it’s crap. Not sure what tanks you could be referring to.

Just checking, you have a bomb series amount selected?

What are you pressing in this instance to drop them bombs? For ripple mode you need weapon selection on

I honestly am fine with the R-73 after using it it is not the most powerful missile the aircraft has to offer. That would be the R-27ER which the aircraft really should not have.

I’m gonna disagree on the ER, mostly because it only gets 2 of them. But I respect the difference in opinion. Regular R does not have the speed and guidance to keep up with AIM-54C.

Do you think there is any chance to see the RAFAEL Derby missile in the F-16 Barak? could be a good addition
