Weapon Mods: Up and Downsides - Ace911 - 19.03.2008

Hi there everyone!

I wanted to know the ups and downs of Weapon Modding, and maybe even 'how to's', if someone is
willing to tell me how? Big Grin

Well, even though we are about to be able to create new planes in il2 this is going to be a sticky subject for awhile yet. My opinion is to just wait and see what the AAA folks are going to say about it. They posted that new planes can now be inserted into il2 but nothing has come out yet, I'm guessing that the reason for this is they want to be extra careful that this goes smoothly without causing more controversial problems, just a guess though.

I really do not like the idea of Messing with Damage Models in 4.08 and up. Basicly that means you will have SOMEONE get on Hyperlobby or something, with bullet that act like 70mm Cannon Shells, and everyone will Scream the Folks at AAA are nothing but Cheaters,

:evil:

Which we are Not! We mod this game fto expand our world war two aviation sim. I see it as a pursuit of Historical Aircraft, Effects, and Maps.

Not Super Weapons, if thats even what you mean :?:

HOWEVER, I beleive you might be interested in some of the things in the 4.05 Topic, since those can't really be used online at a public Server like AAA's own.

Just My Thoughts Idea

What I'm looking for might not be so super weapon'y at all: I want to change the ammo belt mix, like in only AP rounds, since I came up with a scenario in which you 'accidentally' got only AP, or even regular Ball, ammo in your guns.
And since you can't easily change THAT in the loadout menu :evil: , I wanted to find another solution, which is why I've made this thread. Big Grin

And if someone is such a bad shot he just has to resort to cheating, he should just keep practicing his gunnery, and not being a sore LOSER. :!:

Is it possible to change weapon load outs? I dont want to anything unrealistic, but just more variety of combinations of the weapons the aircraft did carry but the game doesnt offer

For example, the late model lightnings had four hardpoints, two inboard, two outboard, but the game doesnt allow bombs or tanks fitted on the inboard racks if gunpods are fitted outboard, same with it wont allow tanks inboard, rockets outboard but does allow bombs inboard rockets outboard. :?

Thats just one example, as most know there are many more weapon mixes for aircraft missing. Some PTO allied aircraft had "field mods" for extra ammo, and this is missing on most aircraft in the game

With the possibility of new aircraft to come a weapons/FM change is inevitable. BUT, creating a new/modifying an old FM/DM for a new aircraft would not harm onlineplay IF the modded FM/DM is applied only to a new aircraft, and not an existing one. That way, only servers that actually have the extra aircraft in their planesets will allow users to play online with them.
