Hawk Salvoes

[+Piecemeal 450]

I just want to throw a query out into the forum for people to think about before I'm forced by my missus into making the dreaded weekly excursion to the shopping mall where, my trolley steering abilities will be analised ........

 

Anyway - is there a way I can change the firing salvo number of Hawk SAMs from six to, say, three? When they fire at an enemy aircraft, it sure makes for a pretty display, but it doesn't take long before you run out of SAMs to throw at the next wave of bad guys!

Can we set the launcher data ini to automatically load new missiles?

That's a good question. It'd be a great function if they could reload after (for example) 5 minutes, or whatever amount of time it takes in real life to load up again.

I suppose that could be another alternative to reducing the salvo amount.

With regard to salvoes, this is a perfect example of what I'm on about;

reducing this amount per salvo

- down from six missiles to three

Simple fix:

 

YawLimited=TRUE

MinYaw=-30

MaxYaw=30

YawLimited=TRUE

Right; here's the relevant section my edited HawkL_DATA.INI file. Am I going in the right direction?

 

[WeaponSystem]

TargetType=AIR

MissileRange=45000.0

MinMissileRange=400.000000

PitchAngleRate=8

MaxPitch=80.0

MinPitch=30.0

DefaultPitchAngle=30.0

YawAngleRate=30

YawLimited=TRUE

MinYaw=-90

MaxYaw=90

DefaultYawAngle=180

RangeFinder=1

BallisticComputer=1

MissileLaunchTime=1.5

YawModelNodeName=Turret

PitchModelNodeName=Rails

 

 

BTW Fubar; are your recommended changes for a three missile salvo?

In a word, no. Limit the yaw to 30/-30 You have it set at 90/-90. That's why you're getting almost every launcher salvoing at once. Also, erase that silly range finder and ballistic computer line, while you're at it.

Cheers for the help, FB. The Hawk batteries are still doing their job but more importantly, are being a lot less spendthrift when it comes to expenditure

 

Thanks again
