Bumping this. The details are not important and developers could create multiple various sized generic cargo units (that are cargo capable of course) to simulate resupply missions. thanks for considering.

ORIGINAL: orca

Is it possible to add a facility unit called generic cargo (of various sizes). It would come in handy for a scenario I am working on.

for example:
generic cargo (small)- cargo mass 5, cargo area 5 -*paradrop capable
generic cargo (medium)- cargo mass 10, cargo area 10
generic cargo (large)- cargo mass 20, cargo area 20
generic cargo (very large)- cargo mass 40, cargo area 40

category- structure
damage points- not important but possibly 1

<detail>There is nothing in the article or visible on the web that after this test this became an operational weapon.
On the contrary:<detail>
</evidence>
The most strange weapon on an F-14 was a MIM-23 Hawk SAM coupled with a 750 lb M-117 bomb warhead on Iranian Tomcats. It was a kind of air to ground bomb with 20-24 km range. Due to very low precision, it was not mass produced. #TopGunDay

<summary>BLU-136 Next Generation Area Attack Weapon</summary>
<detail>The U.S. Air Force is developing a 2,000 lb.-class bomb called BLU-136 that will shower metal fragments on enemy forces as a replacement for cluster munitions, which are being phased out by the Pentagon because they leave unexploded ordnance. This weapon is four-times the size of the BLU-134/B Improved Lethality Warhead, which is now being put into production. The BLU-134 and BLU-136 are different designs. The fragmentation of the BLU-136 is non-explosive, making it a less-hazardous alternative to cluster munitions.

The only problem is that the fragmentation pattern from one of these new weapons simply cannot cover the same area as a cluster bomb, even with the ability to change the height of burst on the fly. The fragments also cannot defeat heavy armor or zero in on a particular target, both features of the Air Force's CBU-105/B Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW) anti-armor cluster bomb and its infrared homing BLU-108/B Sensor Fuzed Munitions (SFMs), which the service keeps in inventory specifically to help defeat large formations of enemy tanks and other armored vehicles.

The tests proved that the design of the BLU-136 was effective in area denial and would be very effective against light vehicles, light structures, and personnel. They also showed that the BLU-136 is capable of inflicting fragmentation damage on the equipment and simulated personnel targets at distances in excess of 225 ft. away from the target.

“This was a very easy test because the weapon functioned exactly as it was supposed to,” said Lambert. “All ten BLU-136s dropped as they should and met or exceeded all expectations and requirements.”

The BLU-136 is a 2000-pound class bomb body with form factor and mass properties similar to the BLU-109. When combined with the joint direct attack munition tail kit, the BLU-136 is designated as the GBU-31v11.

“The loading of the weapons and delivery of the BLU-136/GBU-31v11 was the same as any other JDAM loading or delivery for the F-16, thus proving that if/when fielded, the weapon will be virtually ready from day one,” said Lambert. “This also means that the delivery of the GBU-31v11 from any other aircraft will likely require little to no changes in loading or delivery tactics.”</detail>

You can do by taking weapons and sensors off an existing platforms in game. If you want electronic decoy leave sensor on.

[Blast33]

Sure, ha ha so simple and easy. Rename into decoy and ready..
It is much easier than I thougth [8D]

One difference remains is the amount of hitpoints. A tank will not be punctured by scrapnel from nearby bombs and decoys will have different attributes.
Tnx

You can adjust damage by hitting the Damage Ctrl button in UNIT STATUS and then damage or destroy mounts (except sensors). Hopefully this work for you.

Please consider adding the Bell v-247 Vigilant to the simulation.
It is bells new tilt rotor UAV and it would make a very good addition to the simulation.

It has a similar footprint to the Seahawk and could effectively be used as a long range areal reconnaissance and strike platform.

Please consider looking it up, the specs are on Bells website!

thanks
