@firewill While you're adding APKWS and Hydra 70 variants to vanilla and modded choppers and your cluster bombs to vanilla aircraft, could you also add the AGM-122 Sidearm to both fixed-wing planes and rotary-wing helicopters? It's just an anti-radiation version of the AIM-9 Sidewinder, so it shouldn't require any new modelling work to the existing Sidewinder models. Essentially it would just be a shorter ranged- and less destructive AGM-88, which you already have, but with the ability to be deployed on attack helicopters and lighter jets like the AV-8B. Side note: After looking up information on the AH-64 program, the upgraded AH-64E originally lost its ability to use Stinger missiles, but I found it interesting that South Korea had Boeing re-add that ability even though the US Army doesn't say it needs that capability (even though in my opinion the US Army has very little for ground-based air defense capability right now)

Does that mean you would oppose a compatibility patch made by Firewill or a 3rd party between your stuff and Firewill's? What about compatibility with RHS or CUP?

@firewill Could you add some of your non-WCMD cluster munitions and Mk 80 series bombs to vanilla fixed-wing aircraft or add APKWS/Hydra 70 variants to the vanilla and RHS attack helicopters so that we don't have to modify the configuration settings ourselves? I love having APKWS on the both the vanilla and your A-10s, but I think that putting it on helicopters like the Apache that APKWS was even tested on.

Hard part is gonna be choosing between between Firewill, RHS, and USAF versions of the F-22, A-10, and other aircraft. I do hope you guys will add compatibility at some point between FIR AWS and your stuff.

Quick question: Isn't the F-22 able to use the GBU-53/B that can lock onto vehicles? I read that 8 can be loaded into the F-22 just like the GBU-39, but the GBU-39 won't lock onto vehicles, and wouldn't be able to fulfill that role in an F-22. It seems like in previous updates that it could be loaded into the F-22, or maybe the GBU-39 would have been fuctionally identical to a GBU-53/B. I also read that the F-22 was able to load it with AMRAAMs in the weapons bay. Even if this is intentional, I'm sure that by the time the USAF in the 2030s the F-22 would at least be able to use the GBU-53/B. It would be nice if the pilot manual info was put in or a section was put into the Arma 3 field manual that told you the characteristics, abilities, and functions of the various aircraft and munitions in the USAF mod.

Can you make an AC-130W addition? You know the AC-130W which has a 30mm bushmaster, (same one on M2/M3 Bradley) a 105mm cannon fired from the back ramp, SBDs, and AGM-176 Griffin missiles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AC-130#Armament ---------- Post added at 15:55 ---------- Previous post was at 15:54 ---------- I think it might be in the All in Arma vehicle pack or something, since Dyslexci uses it in his now ancient tactical guide

Now all we need is a P-47 Thunderbolt, F-86 Sabre, and a Phantom II. That should rectify any historical fighter addons, but I suppose you could also add in the P-51 Mustang and P-40 Warhawk if you need to. I'd recommend fitting them in the late variants and giving them to guerrillas. I suppose that this could be a separate mod, having all the historical USAF and USAAC/USAAF planes. I don't think that large bombers, B-17, B-24, B-29 could be properly implemented into ArmA III even without turrets. Still the fighters, especially the P-47, could have lots of fun strafing targets and bombing bad guys.

Just in case you didn't know the GBU-52s can be used in the F-22 as so they say. For some reason the F-35, B-2, and the Reaper aren't appearing in my Zeus editor. The pbo files are in the addons folder along with the pbo files are the items that are actually working.
