Added or updated weapons files including
The various Hellfire II iterations - this covers fallbacks to rockets
for all 3 Apache variants, the Supercobra, and the Kiowa.
This also adds the 184 Long and 131 pods.
Lastly, this adds date and fallback information to the shrikes in
advance of the AGM-45B being added to the A-4E mod.
R-24R weapons file correction to R-3R fallback name - now matches name used in R-3R file.
Remove KH-28 weapons file due to removal from DCS.
Update KH-25MP weapons file to fallback to KH-29L instead of Kh-28. Kh-28 previously fell back to Kh-29L.
Adds US Weapons files with fallbacks in order of capability.
Aim-7P added by ED for several US fighters. Falls back to 7MH, and Aim-120B fallback adjusted from MH to P.
Aim-9J and Aim-9Juli added by ED for the Mirage F-1, also used by F-4 mod and will likely be added to the F-4E whenever it ships. Aim-9J placed between 9P and 9B, Aim-9 Juli placed between 9L and 9P5.
2x9j and 2x9Juli added by VSN for F-4 mod. Placed between 2x versions of same missiles as above.
Aim-7E now falls back to 2xAim9x instead of single Aim9x so that it runs through the entire loop of Aim-9s.
Adds a number of standoff weapons data files and fall backs, including for the B-52 and B-1. Generally used the logic long range guided weapons>big warhead mavs > smallwarheadmavs > walleye > fallback to LGB then dumb bombs. followed similarish logic with Russian weapons. Used selerate paths for laser mavs. Also corrected error with S-24B in rockets. There is probably a lot of room for improvement here.
Add Aim-9B's as fallbacks for F-4s and A-4s. Rework path by capability and not year (i.e. Aim-9X>M>L>P5>P>B), leave note in P that the year can be pushed back to represent earlier models the P is based on that are missing from game.
Added weapons fallback data for the laser guided rockets, AIM-54's,
AGM-65 E/F, 4X Hellfire and TOW carried by US helis, rockets for them
to fall back to, all of the USSR IR missiles, R-3R, Mk-83 & Mk-84 and
adjusted the dates for the R-27ER &ET to 1990.
This only takes effect for default loadouts. Custom loadouts set from
the UI will allow LGBs. In the default case there will not be buddy-lase
coordination so we should take iron bombs instead.
Also adds single/double Mk 83 and Mk 82 weapon data to accomodate this.
Hornet should be compatible with 1990 campaigns now. Air-to-ground
weapon restrictions are less interesting for AI aircraft so I haven't
covered *all* the variants here (the >2 variants of each carried by the
B1 and such).
This is a bit of a hack that makes the TGPs fall back to AIM-120s. It
works okay because this only applies to a few cases:
The A-10 gets an empty pylon. That's fine. Maybe later we can add
multiple fallback paths and depth-first-search through them so that that
pylon could carry bombs instead.
The Viper has no replacemnt for that station. The jammer goes on the
other fuselage station, the HTS isn't a replacement, and we don't have
LANTIRN for the Viper. No weapons can be fit to those stations.
What this helps is the Hornet, where any Gulf War scenario ends up with
an empty cheek station because we don't have the NITE HAWK to fall back
to. In this case we can instead fall back through the air-to-air
missiles to fill the station.
Both types use JSOW -> Walleye -> Mk 84. The JSOW A should maybe fall
back to some CBU instead, but I think the standoff capability is more
important to preserve than the warhead type.
The only parts of the old weapon data that worked well (didn't commonly
result in empty pylons) did this implicitly, so make the grouping
explicit.
This also moves the data out of Python and into the resources, which
both makes the data moddable and isolates us from a huge amount of
effort and a save compat break whenever ED changes weapon names.
I didn't auto migrate the old data since the old groups were not
explict and there's no way to infer the grouping. Besides, since most of
the weapons were *not* grouped, the old data did more harm than good in
my experience. I've handled the AIM-120 and AIM-7 for now, but will get
at least all the fox 3 missiles before we ship.
