tn_prvteye Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I was testing out the new patch with WOE. I decided to take up Bongodriver's magnificent Typhoon to fly a little Air to Air. After getting 2 kills with missiles, and missing with the rest I was down to guns. Or so I thought. I was in a furious dogfight with an Su-27...couldn't get a good bead on him (damn the new AI is harsh). Finally I good a perfect shot. I pull the trigger and... Nothing. Pull again...zip...nada...zilch. My immediate thought was, "Oh my God, this model is so accurate, Bongodriver even removed the guns!!!" I then checked the DATA file and realized I hadn't added the gun to the GUNDATA file. Oops. But let this be a lesson to the MoD...FIGHTERS NEED GUNS!!!!! Quote
+ST0RM Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I think the MoD has seen the error in calling for the gun to be removed. The GR.7/9s in OEF have been using it to great effect along with the TorDet over Iraq. When/If 17 Sqn deploys, I'm sure the gun will be installed and loaded with bullets. Storm P.S. Great story Quote
tn_prvteye Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Wait, I though the British Harriers never had them? You mean they've got Cannons now? Quote
+ST0RM Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Wait, I though the British Harriers never had them? You mean they've got Cannons now? They initially deployed without the guns, but last year, reinstalled the packs. Storm Quote
tn_prvteye Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Cool, thanks for the info. I'm building a 1/72 model of one right now...are they using the twin Adens then? Quote
kct Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Nope, it was those 27mm Mausers you see in the Tornados. Quote
tn_prvteye Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 They use the same style pods or wing pods? I ask because I'd like to represent them on my model. Quote
