MW Mod 4.6 Development Log Thread - WIC: Modern Warfare Mod for World in Conflict

Last updated 10/20/2014

Change Log for 4.6 (Honeybadger):

- Significantly increased pricing of invincible tactical aids that cannot be countered or shot
down, such as: Incendiary Bomb, Sensor Fuzed Weapon, Airstrike.

- Removed following Tactical Aids: JDAM, Precision Artillery

- Increased game time by 5 minutes.

- BGM-71 TOW and 9M113M Konkurs ATGM: Missiles will now proactively reload when reload time
is up, rather than requiring ammunition to be depleted first and reloading afterwards.

- (US) Airdropped PAC-3 missile launcher TA has been relocated to 2nd (middle) level category
(Theater Support Systems) in the Tactical Aids menu.

- (RU) New TA airdropped unit added: (OPFOR) Medium Range Ballistic Missile Launcher:
1500 km ranged MRBM launcher (Shahab-3). Takes 3 minutes to arrive on target with apogee of
240km altitude. Extreme terminal velocities (Mach 7 - Mach 11), making it more challenging
target for missile defenses; 1,000 kg of clustered HE payload.

- (RU) Mi-28N: Improved kinematics for 9M120 Ataka-V missile; fixed some homing related issues.

- (RU) BM-21 price reduced to 1600 (from 1750).

- (US) Removed UH-60 Blackhawk transport helicopter.

- (US) New Unit: MV-22B Osprey transport tiltrotor craft. Significantly improves mobility of
infantry forces; Offensive special ability allows the aircraft to spawn Airborne Infantry
without requiring TA points.

- (RU) Anti-Tank infantry fire team now fires 9M113M Konkurs ATGM using FLINT missile system.

- Anti-Tank fortifications now use FLINT missile system.

- All homing projectiles in game have now been migrated into FLINT missile system -- no more
vanilla homing rockets anywhere in the game.

- (US) Ammunition for BGM-71 TOW missile increased to 8 on Bradley and Styker ATGM vehicles.
Reload time also increased to 90 seconds.

- (US) Patriot/IADS complex - Weapons Control Computer version 6.5:

* (Bug fix PR#4065): Uncommanded launch of Tamir interceptors when a track number (ECL_id)
equals wicg UnitID.

* (Bug fix PR#4059): Invalid triggering of 'terrain impact warning' and flight termination
of interceptors when engaging TBM & RAM tracks with low TLLs.

* PAC-3: Added two-way datalink between ground radar and outgoing interceptors:
Kinematics are more accurately reported and mid-course updates are significantly improved
against high velocity targets (i.e. MRBM coming down at Mach 7+).

* PAC-3: Attitude control (using side thrusters) is now engaged when the missile first
clears the launcher. Pitch & yaw axis are matched to Line-of-Sight bearing, prior to
pitching up for lofted trajectory.

* Tamir: Now flies higher during mid-course flight to minimize energy loss.

* Minimum flyout altitude (1.5km height) is now enforced on all TBM engagements.

* Iron Dome BMC: Improved command & control AI to mitigate excessive wasting of interceptors
against late engagement targets.

* Rewrote target queueing/track hand-off process on Missile Defense Radar in preparation for
future integration & addition of upper-tier defense element into the game (THAAD).

Aw man no more blackhawks? There goes my favorite troop transport

Everything else is great though

Yea, I mean nobody really liked it anyway. It's slow and ineffective. V-22 is at least fast and can drop airborne inf.

cool any plan to improve AI ? . love to see V-22 very cool

This is great news! But the game really needs some AI buffs, such as more obedience for friendly AI (they just don't listen do they? ) ) and more tactical gameplay by enemy AI, especially Air.
And it's great to see the MV-22! Any plans to replace the Mi-8 with a more modern transport?
