Snapps

I’ve been messing with this for a few days now and ended up giving up last night. You guys who worked this out should be working for NASA.

+1, I can’t wait to see it too.

Gonna be like a little kid Xmas for us all. There is nothing else in this world I’m looking forward to more. GL guys

Try to take off the carrier without hooking up first like what happened to me in the hornet. After I work that out, maybe shoot some 54's off then work on some traps.

Red flag is awesome and is worth paying for. I can't wait for the hornet red flag to come out.

Is the JHMCS and aim9x something that could possible be added to the F15c in the future? Sorry if it's been asked for before

SCUDS! cant wait for them too. its going to be interesting to see how they implement ballistic missiles in DCS. Im curious to see how the fire bombs are going to look too. I ended up finishing mission 3 last night and was up all night on 4, I have to say the hornet has become pretty nasty after this last patch. It lets you notch now and u can pull moves after the 120 is pitbull like the f15's radar, I don't think it lost a lock once. We have more to come but that patch for me was a big leap forward for the radar.

so after realizing a cruise missile might not be the best thing to kill a ship I tried it out on a bunker1 fortification thinking this is going to look super cool and it don't fire. I tried it at different ranges and tried different ground units and it only seems to work on ships. did you guys get it to work on buildings and ground units yet or is it just for ships?

I gave myself the rest of the day off just so I could come home and try it out, yep worked first try at 18nm. I couldn't control the big smile on my face, I think I might have even clapped a little. that was until it hit the ship. after making it past all kinds of AAA and at least one ship missile, it crashed into the target, ships have force fields?? why no sink? hopefully Nine9 is right and they are still tweaking it and I should just be thankful it dropped and I am not complaining but pretty sure all cruise missiles are too weak. maybe expect 4 to take a carrier but a normal ship wouldn't be toast after one direct hit? thanks guys for letting me know how.

Oh I moved it within the range circle but wasn’t that close. That seems a little short don’t it? Just did a quick search and it’s reported to have a range of about 85km or 45nm so maybe they need to tweak it a little still. either way that’s goods news, I will give it a go this afternoon, thanks for ur quick reply bud.

Did anyone get the silkworm missile to fire yet or is it still not finished? I tried a few different ways last night to add it in the ME and have it shoot either at another unit and to fire at point but no joy. It’s just WIP? It still needs a radar and power unit right? I’ve been looking forward to adding this unit to one of my missions ever since I seen them screen shots awhile back and was stoked to see it was added in the last OB patch. That patch was awesome too, that small campaign they added to the hornet kept me up until midnight. i got to mission 3 last night and I’m dying to get out of work and back to it. Also, it looks like the radar is %100 better at holding locks and finding targets. Overall, pretty good patch if you ask me, was more then I was expecting and the hornet is so much better to fly now. Anyone know anything about the silkworm and getting it to work or if it’s just not finished yet? Thanks ED, I for one appreciate all the hard work and the updates every other week are fantastic! :smilewink:

This is awesome, I’d rather no batteries but 10 hours is enough. been looking for something like this for a while now and I’m sure there are a lot of people here that feel the same way. Start selling them already!

Lmfao dude! Was going to say something too but u nailed it my man. If I get a tomcat in my stocking Xmas morning would be the best day ever. I’m not sure how i will find any time for the hornet once this thing comes out.

I will take what they can give us when it’s ready, I love the way they are doing it so far. I am really looking forward to dropping some napalm tho.

I finally got it after trying for so many years enough now where I can pretty much fill up every time.i watched loads of videos on youtube, some vid of the guy in the refueled and the pilot having small talk like do you bring coffee with you and snacks and talk of crumbled pop tarts. I’m all for having the basket move around more realistic but what I don’t get is the small throttle imputs needed. From looking at them videos it would seem like they set the throttle to the tankers speed and both jets are locked in the same speed and direction and it seems to me like we have to work more to keep it connected. Just MHO tho from watching the pros do it. I hope they make it more real but that don’t mean it needs to be header.
