Aircraft Attack Profile Update

Post by jptheronmd »

Hi guys. I bought this sim a few months ago and I must say it is really good. I am so hooked it that I may need to start a support group. Anyway the reason for the post is I read a post from 2006 which was replied by one of the DEVS named 'emsoy'. The post was about the various attack profiles in the weapon loadouts - for example: lo lo lo; toss bomb; dive bomb; hi - lo - hi and so on.

Its seems some of the 'air nut' fans were interested in having select-able profiles with loadouts and emsoy said that this was VERY HIGH on his list for implementation. Having said that the post was from 2006!

Could one of the DEVS confirm if this is still something considered for implementation or if it has been dropped? I also noticed it is not on the wish list vote.

Kind Regards

Hi JP, thank you for your kind words [:D]

Lol did I write that in 2006? Hehe it must have been one of those posts where I was naging the Harpoon3 developers about an advanced strike planner. But they were never able to follow up on that, and if I remember correctly we quit Harpoon3 later that year and started developing our own simulator instead.

Yes, being an air-nut too I really want to make an advanced strike planner for Command. Since this is such a complex subject it will be implemented in baby steps the coming years. The plan was to release the first 'barebone functionality' version this year, but real life has somewhat delayed things and to be honest I haven't started yet hehe. New planned startup date is January 2016, althouh I give absolutely no promises!

In the meantime there's the Mission Planner 2.0, here:

PS: The advanced strike planner is on the wish list as 'ToT Planning'.

Do you guys have specific profiles you want for certain aircraft? We may be able to add these in the meantime.

Thanks

The 'lo-lo-hi' for the F-111 Aardvark is critical to a successful mission.  You can micro it for small strikes but its a bit difficult with a wing sized strike linked with SEAD, OCA etc.  To be honest I haven't had a chance to test it with the new mission planner and it may be more do-able with that.  Thanks

Mission Planner 2.0 automatically generates flight plans, see link in my previous post. Are a couple gameplay examples there. The F-111 is automatically given a Lo-Lo-Hi flightplan with a 800kt dash on target. Make sure to grab 1.08 RC as it fixes some bugs from 1.07.

Thanks!

Excellent! Thank you, haven't had a chance to try since the new mission planner was released. Will give it a try shortly. Downloaded 1.08 this morning. Hard to keep up with you guys![:D]

Please do let us know what you think.

Off axis stuff might be a good idea for some of your scenarios.
