Default Re: Yugoslav OOB

Hey guys, long time no see
Was playing this gem and spoted something intresting about the J-1 Jastreb plane in Yugoslav OOB. It has mostly the right weapons but...


Basically, this is what the aircraft should have for its armament:

3x AN-M-3 12.7mm machine guns (.50 cal M2 browning) with 135 bullets each

2x Rocket pods each with 12 "BR-1-57" HE or "BR-2-57" AP rockets
More info about the rockets in English:

6x VRZ-157 128 mm rockets (Yugoslav copy of 5in. HVAR rockets)
http://64.78.11.86/uxofiles/mulvaney.../5-IN-HVAR.pdf





The 6 HVAR rockets are standard and always loaded, the only thing that varies is whats on the bomb pylons...

From the official technical manual of the plane, it says:



"d - The rocket weapons

1) General rocket armament consists of:

- 6 rails for "Hvar-5 ", three under each wing

.....

- On the bomb carriers:
2 "honeycomb launchers" for rockets BR-1-57mm or BR-2-57mm, OR two "one-tube" launchers for rockets caliber 128mm, OR two "four-tube" launchers for rockets caliber 128mm

The combat set of a "honeycomb launcher" consists of 12 pieces of BR rockets."

That means:

BR-1-57 HE or BR-2-57 AP 57mm rockets x24
(they do come in HE and AP variant in a "honeycomb" launcher with 12 rockets each)
VRZ-157 128 mm (HVAR-5) rockets x6

or...

Napalm x2
VRZ-157 128 mm (HVAR-5) rockets x6

or,

250kg GP bomb x2
VRZ-157 128 mm (HVAR-5) rockets x6

or,

S-8-16 x32
VRZ-157 128 mm (HVAR-5) rockets x6

or,

KPT-150 cluster bomb x2
VRZ-157 128 mm (HVAR-5) rockets x6

etc... you get the point
