Drones and ISR
-
How hard would it be to add UAVs (Predator/Reaper etc) into BMS for recon missions? Aside from the added realism, it sure would help with things like BDA and spotting enemy troops and such. IRL they would be able to share link data but i’m just thinking more utility for campaigns.
-
Several theaters have drones.
Mq9, Russia stealth drone.
Mq9 is even hellfire capable.
Check
Somalia
Kto 2012
Peru
Taiwan
PanamaFor sure those, and I think EMF and Spain?(POH)
But not sure on last two. -
Do they show as support flights? I dont think i’ve ever seen them, I have most of those theatres you mentioned. (granted I didnt look that hard)
-
Yes. And I forgot to mention Kurile.
You can add them in flights in te.
And IF they are added to campaigns, ai will task them flights.
The mq9 can do strike, recon , and cas.
Usually ai tasked for recon, but player can direct it to strike or cas. -
thats actually really cool. i’ll have to play around editing some campaigns and seeing how they work.
-
Standby for pm.
Btw I see the predator drone is called mq1 …
I always screw up designations. -
UAVs are very cool. They fight like fighters and evades missile like human.
-
In campaigns and theaters design for mq1 they fly more like u2 and can’t evade sams very good.
Flight model based on an2 and u2 mix not much fighter capabilities.
