Air-to-air plane needed

[Wadi 0]

There should be a plane and probably a chopper as well with some air-to-air missiles, like sidewinders. Does anybody know where I can download some? Also, there should be two seater planes with a pilot AND a gunner.

the islands are a little small for air to air combat with fighter jets

however i agree with you about the 2 seater planes. i find it easier to test and see if they do what i want them to do when i'm screwing around with the editor. flying behind them just isn't the same.

The islands are not too small for air to air combat with jets, you can fly off the map. There is nothing but sea once you are off the map, but seeing as you'll be fighting air to air you probably won't care what's on the ground.

Another thought, this doesn't have anything to do with air to air combat, but what does the LST actually DO??

V-22 Osprey is the best plane for small islands

LST does nothing but supplying ammos for choppers and scenery. they don't move

you can look inside the cargo section in the front. try this

setPos[getPos lst1 select 0,getPos lst1 select 1,(getPos lst1 select 2)+2]

or something like that..i forgot...

LST just sits there and poses for pretty pictures although theres a mod that actually makes it move

just a thought, but isn't the TOW missile an AAM as well as an ASM? i remember when looking in a military specs book that it was, usually put on choppers to combat other choppers because of the short range...

i think i might b wrong though, but im not sure

[LordZach 0]

TOW is an anti-tank missile and it was usually put on choppers to kill tanks

[Benze 0]

Although, it is wire guided and can be used to shoot at choppers.

Theres an Apache addon complete with stinger missiles.

You can download it on this page

where can I get the moving LST mod?

(note: pushing a LST on shore with a volley of FFAR's is also lotsa fun)

So hopefully (I haven't tried it yet) TOW's should fire at choppers. But I still don't know where there are planes with air to air missiles. Would it be poss to add a TOW launcher to an A10? Another thing - why don't AA launchers target planes?

I'd like to have a Cobra with Sidewinders USMC Cobras can carry them.

Aha!

If you have downloaded a unit with stinger missiles, then if you type this in an aircraft's init. field:

this addmagazine "StingerLauncher";this addweapon "StingerLauncher"

then your aircraft will have 4 stinger missiles on it.

The problem with Air-to-Air imissiles is that it would be far too easy to shoot down and get shot down. Targeting an air unit would be almost as easy as targeting a ground target and the accuracy of the shots would be dead on. Of course when you are locked onto you get no warning, so if you don't see the missiles you have no hope of evading being hit and when you are hit you are more than likely to be brought down. Assuming some sort of warning system could be implemented you don't really have enough time on the small maps to do anything about it and chaff and flares aren't available. Also in single player AI won't know what the hell to do with any sort of warning.

Jubs.

i'd rather they actually made the AA missiles realistic. it is very annoying having to arm your entire squad with AA launchers just to down 1 chopper. it should take 1 to take it out or severely damage it. i've seen video of a stinger vs a hind.

Tomorrow or the day after I will release my planes-pack, consisting of propeller planes (based on cessna) for East and Resistance, with old USSR AT or AA missiles, as well as OFAB100 bombs or MGs. These are not nuclear weapons - they are old and not the most effective, but adds lots of extra fun to mission design. And the freefall bombs works excellent - AI knows how to drop them right in your face

It has been thoroughly tested and only need some minor texture tweaks before release.

[XtremeX19 0]

joy....

nothing for US im guessing...

well, thats alright, i dont like you either!

[WKK Gimbal 0]

arh, US got 400 choppers to put up against them.

[Wadi 0]

Did you say 400 choppers?

Bloody hell!

[Wadi 0]

Could I please have an answer on that, did you or didn't you say 400 choppers?
