[2020] EE Lightning F6

We will raise it again with the devs.

As we have already said, the initial response was that all aspect was kept back based on balance. Now thats no longer the case, however the unique features of the missile in terms of how its modelled needed extra work. As far as im aware, its not about lacking source material.

As far as im aware, there are no open reports on the Lightnings VNe being incorrect.

As for the Red Tops, as we have previous explained, in order to model their semi-all aspect in a very restricted cone (unlike R-60M), it requires a full code rework specifically for that one missile that has the potential to harm all other missiles. As such, its not a simple process and is in fact a very complicated rework for one missile which would actually yield not a massive difference in a massive capacity to the game overall. So as you can see, its a very complicated task, that whilst in queue, can have more of a negative impact than positive. Thus needs to be done when its possible for the relevant developers to able to fully focus on that and not have other ongoing tasks as has been the case.

The last and only one submitted on Vne was this:

Which had the following developer comment:

F.6 would be needed. Regardless of how unchanged it may be, this is what the devs will reference.

If a report is going to be submitted, I would just first be sure you have sufficient info to back up the F.6 specifically without relying on the F.53, as it raises the chances of it being rejected by the devs. Perhaps if there are some supporting secondary sources that can back this up for the F.6, it has more grounds. Simply that for all aircraft in game, the Flight Manual takes precedent. So if there is a conflict of sources, the FM will always take the priority. So its better to go supported than having a 50:50 based on previous variants and the wording surrounding the crew manual.

As I said, in a conflict of sources, supporting sources would be needed to override the FM.
