A silly question from me.

I'm awared that in Fighter Ops, just like most other games of similar nature, have a good array of "adversary" aircraft. And there will be a mission editor.

Here is my silly question:

If I want to, say, generate an opponent equipped with US-made aircraft and weapons and/or an ally equipped with "adversary" aircraft and weapons, will I be able to do so?

In Falcon 4.0 it is possible (albeit the national insignia remains the same for those weapons that have one) . Would it be possible to improve the degree of freedom on that aspect?

Interesting, you could arm your enemy. I suppose that's no problem in a mission builder. Say, with in the mission builder, you could create a bomber loaded with WDM's and it's chemical! You have to stop it before it fly's over population! Interesting!!!

IIRC, arming NPC aircraft feature has been there since Falcon 3. :mrgreen:

Hi,

What degree of freedom are you interested in seeing?

As far as I know, there is no plan to restrict the aircraft to any particular team (except perhaps in a default campaign module sometime in the future).

Are you also asking that american jets be able to use russian weapons and vice versa?
If so, I am not sure it would be possible to realistically model these situations.

What did you mean by having more freedom?

Thanks,

Absolutely not. Have browsed a few military forums from time to time, I at leasst know that integrating foreign weapons is a very complex issue.

Besides, what I've seen are mostly European-made weapons integrated into American-made aircraft and American-made weapons into European-made aircraft (well until recently Europe didn't have the "complete range" of indigenously-designed weapons for their aircraft to begin with) . So far I found the only exceptions are Pakistan (their J-7 and Q-5 can fire AIM-9) and Iran (their American-made aircraft and Su-24 can fire Chinese-made missiles) . Otherwise, I wouldn't ask for what I never heard of.

Actually, about the only thing I can think of right now is the military insignia on the aircraft. Like old flight sims such as "Fighter Wings" and "Advanced Tactical Fighters", where a player can select his/her nationality (in case of Advanced Tactical Fighters, other NPC's nationality) , and his/her aircraft (in case of Advanced Tactical Fighters, NPC aircraft) will have corresponding national air force insignia.
