Stand-off cluster "bombs"?

So its in the aircraft code not the weapon code? Because as Plasma said, rocket launchers with cluster munitions fire the same class of weapons from a standoff range.

Try using the MRLS weapon if you want a ranged cluster warhead. I dunno how well that'll work though.

No, that should run into the same issues as we've experience before. Because its the same class of weapon, it would appear the aircraft code nullifies range for that weapon class regardless of what its set at.

What issue?

Cluster BOMBS get the range mod from the Aircraft code.
Cluster WEAPONS might not.

I've strapped cluster wareahd weapons to helicopters before and it worked fine.

Okay Listy, I'm confused. One of us or both of us aren't getting across clearly. They're both class 14 weapons. How does one differ from the other?

Me by the looks of it.

It's been so long since I opened MOBhack I thought MRLS' where a seperate weapon entry.

I'll get back in my box now.

No, don't, you're one of the few people to really defy the rules or experiment with it at least. Your opinion in such a discussion is valued, I just realized that someone had to be confused there. It could just as easily have been me.

Its looking like this might just have to go without being done. Didn't think about helicopter cluster weapons though, that's an interesting idea and since they don't have the restrictions of airplane routines, it might provide for some interesting things to be modeled.
