HowTo: Tweak initTime, thrustTime, thrust (cfgAmmo) and initSpeed (cfgMagazines) of missiles. Ref: GLT Real Air Weapons (RAW) (dead link)

Resolution: Needs review


CH-29 missiles burn out too quickly

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Tweak initTime, thrustTime, thrust (cfgAmmo) and initSpeed (cfgMagazines) of missiles. Ref: GLT Real Air Weapons (RAW) (dead link)

Resolution: N/A for Arma 3


Vikhr Missiles CfgAmmo should be changed to make the Vikhr Ground-Attack only

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Set airLock=0 for M_Vikhr_AT (cfgAmmo). For A3 these might be relevant: M_Titan_AT, M_NLAW_AT, M_Air_AA and subclasses.

Resolution: N/A for Arma 3


Simulate laser guidance by helicopter weapons (like Hellfire for AH-64 Apache and AH-1Z Cobra)

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Set canLock=1 and manualControl=1 or add Laserdesignator_mounted and irLock=0 (or Make laserLock and nvLock independant to canLock).

See also: Cannot acquire laser target for BAF Wildcat CRV-7 PG rockets if "Auto guide AT" is turned off in difficulty

Resolution: N/A for Arma 3


Beeping noise when acquiring missile lock is WAY too loud

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Improve soundLocked[] sound file.

Resolution: Done


Rockets 9M117M1 Arkan / 9M113 Konkurs / 9M119M Refleks not laser/wire-guided

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Set manualControl=1, canLock=1 and not too high missile speed.

Resolution: N/A for Arma 3


Refleks and arkan missiles cannot be guided manually, only with auto-guiding

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Set manualControl=1, canLock=1 and not too high missile speed.

Resolution: N/A for Arma 3


Locking delay is too short for most missile launchers

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Adjust weaponLockDelay from 3 to higher values per missile.

Resolution: Rejected


Equip more vehicles with a laser weapon - Laser FCS (Firing Control System)

URL: link (dead link)

HowTo: Add Laserdesignator_mounted weapon to more vehicles.


Resolution: Done


Require engine changes

Ordered by assumed priority (first is highest) and hopefully limited effort.

Add option to restrict radar locking (TAB target cycling) of vehicles

URL: link (dead link)

Comment: Could be done with canLock=1 for all non Fire-And-Forget (FNF) guided missiles as AutoGuideAT makes it a difficulty setting.

Resolution: Arma 3 Targeting config reference#allowTabLock


Add difficulty option to disable radar of vehicles (that don't have one in reality)

URL: link (dead link)

Comment: Needs a new config value like hasRadar, link it to difficulty level or a new setting and disable it for vehicles with hasRadar=1 in Veteran/Expert. This way new players could still play with "always radar" in lower difficulty.

Resolution: Arma 3 Targeting config reference#radarType


Add option to disable friend-foe radar signature (difficulty setting)

URL: link (dead link)

Comment: To keep it for lower difficulty, but allow more realistic and better gameplay in Veteran Expert. Could be linked closely with the suggested IFF changes.

Resolution: Done in Arma_3_Sensors


Add difficulty option to hide the locking cursor

URL: link (dead link)

Comment: To make player rely on locking sound only. Defined in CfgInGameUI-Cursor/lock/target/select_target.

Resolution: Rejected


Radar targets and locking ability needs to be limited by object drawing distance for units/vehicles with irScanToEyeFactor=1

URL: link (dead link)

Comment: To reduce/remove locking abuse. Only with irScanToEyeFactor>1, radar detection/locking should go beyond viewable distance.

Resolution: Should work


Airborne chopper to be rendered in larger distances

URL: link (dead link)

Comment: Ondrej: The rationale why only planes and not helis that planes are mostly flying higher, and there are less planes in the mission, but in principle the solution can be easily extended for helis as well later.

Resolution:

Comment: Picks up ideas from Hladas in the BI forum discussion. Improvements here would help big time.

Resolution: Done in Arma_3_Sensors


irScanGround = 0/false does not limit radar/target identification to air vehicles
