Re: Shooting Pheasants with a Drainpipe
From my understanding, other than the Argentinian Marines who lead the initial invasion of Port Stanley on the 2nd of April 1982 (As portrayed in The Falkland Skirmish Alternative Layer - The Brits Landed at San Carlos on the 21st of May 1982 to retake the islands) who used the L34A1 (Suppressed) Sterling, other forces generally used the FM FAL as pretty much their only rifle, although some had folding stocks etc.
Its also worth noting that it technically wasn't Argentinian SF who where using the SA-7, although tbh, there was no recorded launches of the weapon, just a tone of them recovered by the Brits after the conflict etc On top of that, the only reference I can find of Argentinian SF using any kinda MANPAD, is of the Blowpipe which I actually posted in the OP Quote:
TBH PR:Fs biggest "Special Forces" influence is on "The Falkland Skirmish Small Layer" Based on the SAS Raid on Pebble Island: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_on_Pebble_Island In time we do hope to make a full 1982 SAS Sub faction for this layer but its very low priority. More on The Falklands game modes and other PR:F stuff here btw: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f19...falklands.html | |

Re: Shooting Pheasants with a Drainpipe
"No "Lock-On" Delay until you can fire the missile at the target."
i have being think allot about this, why not all the AAs work like this? because in reality you not receive warning for a hand AA only if the missile is coming, you receive warning to radar to but some AAs can turn of your radars to avoid be spotted, this should be worked on not only for PR:falklands but for the core game? |

"No "Lock-On" Delay until you can fire the missile at the target." means that you can fire the missile without needing to lock onto the target first, because the missile is not guided by locking onto a target its guided manually onto it. But as for your point, there isn't actually any "being locked" tone for aircraft in PR like there is in vBF2, only a "Locked" tone which is the same tone given if a missile is in flight towards you, although doesn't necessarily mean that ingame but we can't separate the two. As for how r/l warning systems works, it really very much depends on the type of missile/weapons system that is tracking you, more on that here: Missile Approach Warning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia But ingame we don't have all these different tracking systems ingame such as radar, IR etc, we only have "Heat" and "Lase" targets. Heat targets is what we have on aircraft and what all SAMs and AtA missiles use, regardless of if they are IR, Radar tracking etc. Lase targets are used for ground targets and what AtG missiles and LGBs lock onto. We also can't change the tone you get from what weapon is engaging you, although we can change the "Heat Lock" tone from aircraft to aircraft so RU jets have different tones from NATO ones or w/e. TBH the most we can do from what we have with the vBF2 system, is add back the "Being locked" on tone, or removing all tones all together so you have no warning at all for any weapon targeting you. To be clear, the only reason why the Blowpipe with CLOS doesn't give aircraft a lock is because they are not locking onto the "Heat Target" and are being manually guided to the target. | |

what about give the lock sound a bit of delay? maybe 2 seconds of delay is the time to get the lock and fire. | |

I suggest you make a suggestions post if you want to continue this discussion or better yet experiment with some ideas in community modding to see if they work as this is going pretty far off-topic now... | |
