Re: I have finally done it. Air-to-Air Missiles that SHOOT DOWN aircraft!

ea should employ more dedicated modders like this guy good work

Dedicated might not be the right word. :laugh: While I do love modding the BF2 engine I do have a slight "problem" in that in the middle of a project I go "wouldn't it be neat if..." and work on something else.

Fortunately this is extremely close to release. The only thing that is left to do is model/texture an AA-12 Adder Missile for the MEC and Chinese planes. It's just one of those things I never finished, especially because I had to format.

I have recently started working on this again. I've been playing around with the missile physics to try and get a perfect balance between lethality and realistic speeds. I think I've found it, but the AMRAAMs still need feedback. Because honestly I don't know exactly what to do with them.

looks amazing!! what codecs do you need to watch this video cause when I try to watch it it says something about an error with codecs?

I still work on this on and off, but no real major updates (Been busy cleaning up the X3 Universe with my captured Pirate Nova and 4 Wingmen, I love that game.). I found what could possibly be the final balance solution to the whole AMRAAM vs Sidewinder thing though. Sidewinders have an 8 degree lock cone as opposed to the original 15, but has a lock time of only half a second. The AMRAAM has a lock time of 1 second, but you must keep the crosshair in the target box.

The only thing thats really holding back this mod is a custom map with the biggest possible size that you can do in BF2. That way i can take advantage of the long range of the AMRAAM without making it really cheap. And I could have a very long view distance without the impact seen in the original maps.

Looks very good :) I'd love to see you try and implement the SIMRAD too, that would be so awesome :)

Wow sounds awsome. Custom air only maps would be awsome, in which the view distance could be turned way up and the fog way down. Just fighting over water with few islands or something....then it wouldn't lag a bit even with the view distance way up.

In my opinion this is the one thing that this mod really needs to be successful. I tried to make a maximum sized map, but I can't map for the life of me, so I did not get very far.

But if a map were ever made specifically for this mod, at the max size possible so I could take advantage of the AMRAAMs, would be the best thing to happen to this mod. Even with the really cool missiles and HUD, it is all negated by the fact that you have a pretty small area to play with them.

I happen to know a mapper with spare time on his hands, perhaps i could get him to make a map specifically designed for this. Just let me know exactly what you need and i can tell him.
