[Request] Flash rocket - SILVERFISH1992 - 13.07.2009

Can someone make a rocket that dosnt do any damage, it just makes a big explosion ball of fire? Please.

...i'm struggling to see the point of such a request.... :?: :???:

You know the A6M7-63, its got those bomb rockets, I like to fire them off and raise a ruckus.
Kind of like fireworks.
Could you make the explosions different colors?

- Guest - 13.07.2009

In the real world, that sort of stuff would still cause damage.

- SILVERFISH1992 - 13.07.2009

Is it still posible to make it? Even if it does cause damage?

- Guest - 13.07.2009

MustangNF is right. think about it, you're in a plane doing 200+ mph, firing a 'non-explosive' projectile which accelerate even faster.
you're going to be doing damage, that's for sure.... :wink:
i personally doubt this type of rocket will be done, but who knows?
as for the different colors, i'm pretty sure that can't be done, i'm afraid... :?

all possible, u have 8 rockets say, u fire 1 at a time each different colour, each one is a different rocket so allowing for the colour.

BUT

thing is, no one is gonna bother unless you yourself want to go and do it but u need to know how. Weapons modding is not something u get the chance to learn easily and i doubt your request would permit this.

Napalm effect? - mavyalex - 13.07.2009

Though the Napalm effect (2x VAP of Il-2 Sturmovik ?) is not a very nice effect in game..It is Napalm,isn't it? Or was it only used starting in Vietnam War?

When I hear the word "fireworks" and "explosions", it reminds me of these huge explosions that you can see in war documentaries (Vietnam) and movies like Full Metal Jacket....

Napalm was first dropped from airplanes during WWII. Typically, old drop tanks were filled up with napalm and used on fighters. P-38's and P-47's rained jellied fire on German positions in Europe and all over Japan, normally with 165gal. tanks. In fact, part of the firestorm at Dresden and the one at Tokyo were caused by napalm. It was also used in heavy bombers. Some B-17's, for example, were equipped with what's known as Class C Fire Bombs. Basically, they were old 108gal. paper tanks filled up with napalm. They were often overfilled which led to spills while in flight at high altitudes and poor efectiveness once dropped which is why they were only a Class C. Naplam was then used in Korea and was dropped from F-51's, F-80's, F-84's, F-86's, B-26's, F4U's, and F9F's. The Air Force started with old 50gal. drop tanks again, except this time they were painted yellow to distinguish them from fuel tanks. Later, plastic tanks replaced the metal ones and started in 100gal. varieties and then went to 90gal. volume. Naplam is an icon of Vietnam; however, it wasn't actual napalm that was used in Vietnam. It was Napalm-B, a substance similar to traditional napalm.

Oh yeah, "fireworks" were actually used in WWII, although a more common name was flak.
