Caesar

I used to play a lot, mostly with the 2nd edition rules when they had an insane number of weapons and equipment with insane capabilities; I think you could wipe out ten models in a turn with the assault cannon in 2nd ed. if you rolled the right dice, the tunder hammer would insta-kill a tank if it so much as hit it, vortex grenades created mini black holes on the table, etc. etc. I still have a massive army of Space Marines (probably over 5K points) but I haven't played in 4 years or so. I play Dawn of War now; no where NEAR as expensive.

Check the pylon's allowed weapon classes; it needs NUC in there. Also, check the maximum allowed weight.

Okay, I got a video rendering on the way (15% done right now, prolly be done in about 15-20 mins). What seems to work are any TOO's that can be targeted via radio, and more randomly ones that can be targeted with "T," but don't ask me why, not consistantly. The video documents me hitting 2 of 3 shots on SAM sites, targeted with radio commands, then going to the primary target and hitting it with my last JDAM, then the "T" key working, which would have allowed me to hit the Z-157L truck with a JDAM had I not wasted it out of launch parameters on the SAM sites. Buildings, fuel tanks and runways, unless they're the primaries, I think is completely impossible. But, TOO's that are military targets, usually trucks or equipment, can be targeted and struck with JDAM or LGBs.

I'll try to capture it on FRAPS later tonight.

Try flying closer to the TOO's; you should be able to target them, albeit you've gotta get damn close. For example, the Z-15L trucks on bases or the 23mm AAA tank-things can be targeted if you get close enough and hit "T" (but good luck if it's cloudy; you'll loose the target damn quick.) Sometimes targeting radio-given targets (usually SAM or AAA sites) works better. If someone calls SAM launch, and I get the target by selecting radio target, I can put a JDAM on it, then after destroying the SAM launcher or Straight Flush Radar or whatever, hit "E" to reselect the primary target and hit it with my second JDAM (or vice-versa, hit primary first, then if I get a radio target, hit that second.)

I don't need any pods to drop any variant of the JDAM from my Tomcat (GBU-31v1-4, or GBU-38.) Usu. fly 2 JDAM, 2 AIM-7 or -54 and 2 AIM-9 on the glove pylons with the rear fuselage Phoenix pylons empty. So long as the target is selected, and they are dropped from the right parameters, they'll release and guide to target. The GBU-10/-12/-16/-24, however, need the LANTIRN or they won't even release.

I can hit fighters, bombers, et alium with the AIM-54 at range with a merged copy of WoE/WoV on the European terrain; getting towards Rmin against fighters isn't a good idea though; surefire way for the half-ton missile to miss.

Damn fine work you got going.

Best of luck to you.

I always feel bad bagging IRIAF Tomcats...but then I remember I'm in a USN Tomcat, and my 'Cat is better than their 'Cat.

Wow, that sucks; this is the first I heard of it too. I love Boston.

She's lookin' pretty hot

I've created an introduction movie for WoE, but I wondered if there was any interest in a movie first; then I'll prolly have to get permission to upload it as a file as it showcases several 3rd party a/c. This is it if you want to watch it: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=2506 Music is the battle theme from Gundam Wing.

It's been approved; it's in the file announcements.

File Name: Intro Movie File Submitter: Caesar File Submitted: 8 Mar 2007 File Category: Thirdwire Series (SF/WOV/WOE/WWI) This is an intro movie for WoE, which plays as a sequence before the main menu (kind of like what you'd see on console sims.) Simply unzip the contents of the folder into your main directory. Credits for 3rd party airframes/weapons are in the ReadMe. Enjoy. Click here to download this file

It's from an anime called "Gundam Wing," one of those gigantic robot ones. I've got the file in the process waiting approval.

I'm just glad that they're finally showing a Western culture's prowess in personal combat (even if it is blown way over the top, this blaitant exaggeration was once reserved only for Eastern martial traditions.) I'd like to see it for that fact alone.
