Not sure, always thought that they weren't able to be applied, if so then that's good -

Okay I just deleted the page of drama about getting a part done. Fact is and I'll speak for everybody that modding isn't a paid venture and unfortunately since most of us take it out of our freetime, we try and do our best. If a person cannot deliver then that's it. And if they say they can't their not lying or trying to screw you, it's just a normal fact of life. Now lets get back on topic and move on.

Me: F/A-18F EPE with "conformal fuel tanks", 6 x AIM-120D, 4 x AIM-9M Opposition: Shenyang J-31 with some missiles (didn't remember offhand) and Seaqeh with two AIM-9J or Bs, tank and gun Instead of breaking it down I decided to try out the bird if fitted (though none were not, fuel was adjusted to mimic if they were there). Both were maneuverable and even the Shenyang's UFO like flying behavior didn't prevent it from being shot down as it was about to crash into a hillside. The Seaqeh was a PITA but other than anemic 9Ms that went stoopid (except the third) I was able to down both jets. Takeaways. Flying with the extra fuel hampers the superior handling capabilities slightly of the EPE Super to a degree, to the point I was feeling like I was flying a Tomcat, which given past history, doesn't seem to be too much of a problem. I can't honestly say I like it but seeing as how the Navy may go this direction (and should with the engines at least!) it was worth a run through to see how it would perform.

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/us-navy-may-add-conformal-fuel-tanks-to-fa-18ef-super-hornet-fleet-383701/ After reading this article and doing some testing... at least with my EPE versions, the additional fuel (no idea on drag factor so it wasn't included) performance seemed to be the same. If the Navy buys into it (which probably in the future at least) may be a future modification.

populating carriers
Flanker562 replied to Sokol's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Nope, the D or B Hornets that sometimes populate the deck have their canopies open and wings folded. Maybe when FC is able to attack the problem we can see but for now its just something people will have to deal with. -

Unfortunately no, even when doing exact span they still don't fold -
Home On Jam
Flanker562 replied to SupGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
No worries, yeah though I seriously doubt it works since you can't test it against a human player who's jamming... -
Home On Jam
Flanker562 replied to SupGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You can have any radar guided missile with the "Home on Jam" feature checked off to work, not necessarily a specific missile. -
Home On Jam
Flanker562 replied to SupGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
As far as I know the function is set through the Editor and not so much an Ini entry. But I think Fubar512 can answer whether it works or not as he's more of a guru than I am. But I can tell you that HOJ means that the seeker of the missile will start to home on the jammer source rather than a radar return, so either way you have it coming at you no matter what. -
