How could I forgot to ask this question. How many mssiles will each plane have - like in real life around 10 or HAWX will have around 80 missiles like those AC planes?

I'm wondering about this also, put it in the Q&A thread

I hope we don't run out of missiles. FOR ULTIMATE BOMBING!!! MYAHAHAHAHA

Personally, I already have Ace Combat, so I hope HAWX is more realistic and more deliberately paced. I don't want 50+ missiles on my aircraft.

Given the Tom Clancy series' record for staying closer to "simulation" while keeping things fun, I have high hopes for this game.

Oh what are you gonna use machineguns? Where's the fun in that?

At least 25 sidewinders. In a screenshot where the HUD is visible it has a counter in the lower left hand corner that says, AIM8 Sidewinder - 25

Haven't been around in a while, huh?

i want a realistic loadout, i didnt buy ace combat because having 100 missles kills the game experience for me.

umm yeah for the guy that doesnt think that guns only matches are fun in the air, they are fun, and they take alot more skill than the ol fire and forget method. the ammo payload absolutely has to be realistic, thats what keeps the tension so high in good flight games, you have to make all the right decisions, execute all maneuvers precisely, and be smart with your resources. thats what a good flight game is all about.

They had better not have a ridiculous number of missles like AC.

A good flight game is about having a thousand enemies and unlimited rockets! Shooting them down one by one. What happens if your ammo runs out? You have to go running home in retreat. BTW There's no tension in running out of missiles there's only fear. Fear of being shot down. While you have none but guns to shoot down a squadron of 5 planes, reinforcement of 5 more. This is why I hate running out of missiles.

Well that's for me. My opinion. Because I just wanna go beserk and kill as many as I can. You guys want experience? Go join the Air Force. There's more tension there I believe.

If it has at least 25 sidewinders then I'm good with that.

With the organize resources thing I'm not that good with that topic.


Another thing if you're gonna talk about me, then write my name. How is it so hard to type DGTP? See? better. Now everyone knows.
I feel disrespected when someone does that.

TC games dont belong in the arcade style, which this game would be if you had unrealistic missle/ammo loads. It would be just another lame arcade shooter, and within a few months you would find server empty

Hey, my opinion dude. It's TC I'd never find the servers empty right?

correct you opinion and every one is entitled

I would guess that in the sp there will be an option to play the game you wish ie with 25 missle ect, and also an option for the more hardcore realestic type of gamer.

the hawx team hopefully recognizes that if they make a good realistic flight game people will play it for years to come. people are still playing over-g believe it or not.
ace combat, is a ghost town and for good reason. its a mindless boring game that feels like a chore to play. the planes are boring to fly, the endless amount of weapons are boring to shoot.
yeah it is cool on over-g when you run out of weapons, and your wingman is scrambling to get a bogey off your back so you can exit the combat area. thats team work.
a couple guys with unlimited missiles all pushing "a" over and over and over spamming one target is lame.
i use to work in a digital special effects house that worked on movies, but was starting a game division. i tried to convince them their first game should be a good flight game. it seems the suits that crunch the numbers feel that it takes too much work to create a good flight game for console because there are two types of flight game fans. the kind that want absolute realism, and the kind that want unlimited missiles, and unrealistic aircraft performance. i just hope hawx gets it right. you absolutley can not have a good flight game without realism, and good physics and ya da ya da ya. i guess time will tell what they have in store for this game. being the flight nut that i am i hope its realistic.
the thing is the hardcore realism fans, will play the game for years, and give them a solid fanbase, as where the arcade style fans will ultimately lose interest when the next big game comes out, and hawx will be left behind just like ac6. it sucks, i wish they would release more info on this title. its going to drive me nuts for the next 6 months wondering if they are doing it right or not.
