[TEC] Example of how to loadout planes

tater · 07-05-07, 04:41 PM

The A6M didn't carry ground attack rockets. There was a type used (rarely) against bombers, that's it.

I don't know of any widely used ground attack rocket (never heard of ANY used, actually) by any japanese aircraft, army or navy.

that they are set up for in it's DATA file and seeing I can not get them to straff with nothing but guns and the 100kg bombs just won't work for some reason I figured 1 rocket launcher on each outer wing would be fine to make them work better in the game at least for me anyways. Historicly correct maybe not but workable and usable in the game yes and not as devistating as a bomb.

Wonder idf the "rockets" could be reduced in damage to the same as 20mm guns, then give the Zero 60 rockets per wing...

Heheh, faked out 20mm strafing.

it has some kind of wing loadout to go with it so even 1 single rocket per wing will make it come at the boat or a ship

That's interesting... what if the rocket was invisible, and only did the damage of a 20mm shell?

The plane would fire the invisible rockets, but would also strafe...

The DCs would be interesting if the planes detected periscopes...

Torpedo's and scopes but the water has to be on the calmer side but not planes.
If you leave the AI Visual to it's normal levels in sensativity but lower the min height to -0.4 they will see your scope when your close to them and torpedo's at the last second. But the DD's tend to go looking for you in that direction the torpedo comes from and sometimes they advoid the torpedo with a quick speed up and turn. If they see it first the whole convoy goes into a zig zag before the torpedo hits a ship.

Again time of day is a factor too because at night they tend not to see them until they are right there at the hull.

But I found that if you give a plane a type of radar set so that they can pick up a scope they send planes out at night time and in cloudy weather to look around. So there is an upside and down side to all of it.
