Air to air MGs (with Npatch)

Lt Albrecht

is it possible to have visible non-missile projectiles for air-to-air weapons? and if so please can someone post the necessary weapon/projectile Rules code.

More explanation:
Aircraft X
Aircraft Y
Aircraft X has air-to-air weapon, courtesy of VK/PD (thanks VK/PD)
Aircraft Y is shot at by air-to air weapon from aircraft X, we can see the projectiles go from aircraft X to aircraft Y in a straight line (from front of aircraft X courtesy of Omnifire=no) to aircraft Y and cause damage upon impact.

Thanks, I would also like to make a tutorial of it (with credit to the person(s) who figured out the code).

And to anyone who may help, thank you for using your time for helping me, I really am grateful.

Hmm, I had MGs working on a plane before, I'm not sure how yours aren't working. Same as any other AA projectile I'd imagine.

Don't worry, I'll delve into this subject later on and give you an answer immediately.

I highly doubt it or it would just miss, fly horribly off screen.

Why must you be so negative? really? Is there any need? I only want to see if it can be done. Is that so bad?

But I had thought that that might be an un-wanted side effect...

If they both are at the same FlightLevel , simply using Vertical=yes on a projectile will give you a fun although not necessarily useful effect.

Alright, I will test it as soon as I find my stupid YR disk...

In the meantime, DCoder is right as always, though I haven't tested if vertical is needed, but that's what I used in association with Proximity and ROT=100 (it's invisible, what do you want)

EDITO: It should work with a visible vxl projectile also, as long as ROF is 100 you shouldn't see it stray off course.

eh? I did say visible projectiles... You can have non-visible ones by using a straight clone of the rocketeer's weapon.
