Are you needing this specific weapons configuration to make a scenario?

If not, it appears that we would only substituting one loadout/weapon for another. If you, or anyone, needs something special for their scenario (it doesn't matter if you want TLAM/Mk48/USET-80 for the tubes) we'll get it added. But until such time, switching stuff back and forth would only be musical chairs with weapons.

 

[JanMasterson]

yes i need it for scen i'm working on, basically a south africa vs france in the Mozambique channel.

i'm actually focusing on south african platforms (next will be the grippen, then the super dakota, the A109, the Lynx and the Hawk) then i'll check the french platforms.

so, don't worry, all i'm asking you to do here won't be wasted.

please note that i searched in the entire database to find a mount as close as possible to what i need to not give you too much work

thanks for your efforts,

Jan

New additions to the PlayersDB

This sub has been built as a special (personalized) unit according to the request and it has been armed with the specific torpedo tudes, loadout, and magazine.

Unfortunately, it did not make it into the July 7, 2007 release of the PlayersDB. Should you require it immediately, let us know so that something can be arranged. Otherwise, it will be released with the next edition of the PlayersDB.

If there are a number of platform requests like this, we can try to get them all ready for you at the same time. Let us know what your timeline is like and if we need to hurry up or not.

 

[JanMasterson]

there's no hurry Herman, i'm between the intel collect phase a avery early alpha version so it won't be for tomorow (but i hope to finish it before september).

tyhanks for your support

Jan
