I was playing around with the X-4 guided missles against ship targets last night when the idea struck me that it would really add to the game experience if there were a mod of the exsisting X-4 missles to make them into the Hs-293 anti-ship missle. I really think the talented MODers out there could handle this. It would need a skin and improved explosive power over the X-4, as well as working out how to mount it on a bomber like the He-111.






Anyone else interested in making this idea a reality?

Ohka much?

I like it. Would go wonderfully with the He-177 being created.

Ohka much?

Not at all. Besides the rocket motor and use against ships they are totally different. The Hs-293 was a wire-guided short range cruise missile with a 295kg warhead. The bombardier controlled it with a joystick from the attacking aircraft, just as the X-4 missile in the game is controlled.



Yes! The He 177 is a great idea, I look forward to flying that beast

i think about this every time i fire an X4 as well. in fact its more fun taking out bridges and ground targets with the thing than bombers....hence...the Hs293.

does the X4 have a 'flight model'? that works like the aircraft do? if so, im sure itd be possible to make a new 3d model that looks like the 293, but same 'flight model' as X4. if it works that way with the weapon. i do remember something about the V1 being a totally different thing than anything else in the game, as far as coding. but there was a V2 mod done based on it. and if the X4 falls into that same kind of category, why not mod it into the Hs293? sounds doable to me.

For Il-2, the x4 is a munition, not aplane like the mistel or Ohka. It is structured as a munition, not as a plane.
At leats that was explained to me by a "mad scidentist" I know, experimenting with such things...

very good idea flyboybirdy.... but i cant do much....cept

GOOD LUCK with that job...to be done

if we could have the Fritz X at the same time to have more variety in the loadouts.... -> Hs 293 was used vs unarmoured ships, Fritz X was the anti battleships version :twisted:

So would that make it easier or harder to implement this idea?

The feedback is appreciated from everyone. The question now is, where do we start and how do we make it happen? I don't have much experience with the modding other than installing and playing them, but if anyone would like to share ideas for which programs and files would be needed to start work on this, I think I could find the time to atleast start the a project like this.
