Default Re: Aircraft weapons

An increase in FC for later A10's **MAY**may be an option. As Tony noted, the sights have gotten better since the first ones were built but it does present some problems with the OOB as there are not an unlimited number of units slots left and I really don't know if it's justified. For a moment there I thought Kev was going to accuse us of having an anti American bias in the game which nicley balances the the accusations the game has an anti "east bloc" bias as well. It's tough to do both at once folks


However as I have demonstrated over and over and over and others have confirmed the A10 using the cannon only is NOT useless in the game if used correctly despite claims to the contrary or you do not have unrealistic expectations of the weapons capabilities. It could also be this "old computer" Kev is using is toast and giving out weird random numbers. The game lives on random number generation.

I have stated this before but it obviously needs repeating. I started looking into the A10 / Gau-8 issue long before it was brought up on this thread and the more I dug and the more I tested the more I became convinced that we do not have a serious problem with the way this gun is modeled though the whole "gatling" class of weapon could benifit..maybe... from a higher numbers of hit's due to the higher volume of fire and ......maybe..... that could be "simulated" with an increase in accuracy ( thereby increasing the chance of a hit ) However, when the real world results are compared with the tests anyone can easily set up in the game to recreate the real world tests I think the existing set up stands up quite well and so far only ONE person is disputing that and he's using an old computer that is due for replacement.
