FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
Just wondering what your primary/secondary weapon pairing of choice is.

Mine's dual Prom-S/Harpoon/Tornado.
Who uses forum signatures anymore?

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
Kayser / Maxim + 2x Tornado (i love 'em!). Almost always have it when i'm flying an Erinyes. Arm a wing of them like that and you can disarm anything if not tear it apart, though i do admit you gotta keep an eye on your power a lot of the time. Usually i choose between using the Kayser or the Maxim; i very rarely go for the double whammy as it sucks your power dry in seconds.

Failing that, i find pairing a powerfull gun like the Prom S with the Subach is a good mix. I can use the subach for bomb interception and stuff like that.

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
Maxim + Kayser; Harpoon + Trebuchet
I've never been a fan of the Tornado... tend to keep the extra shots afforded by the Harpoon. On the other hand, Kayser + Subach isn't as stupid as it sounds, and can be fired for a pretty long time.

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
Subachs/Mehkus + Tempests
Kayser/Maxim + Harpoons/Trebuchets

Depending on what's available. I like to be able to kill cruisers/transports, so I generally go with a bank of Tempests unless I get a Maxim.

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
Mekhus in a 4-gun bank if I have it, Prometheus S otherwise or on Terran ships. I never take equal weapons in a 4+2 configuration; firing from the larger or both banks has the same dps. Instead, the second bank will get some long range stuff... Maxims if compatible and I want to take cheap shots at capital ships, Morningstars otherwise.

Tempests in the smallest bank for some added punch at close range, to compensate for the lack of Kaysers (which I don't like because of their energy demands).
If I have another bank, I'll load it up with Trebuchets... long-range stopping power and decent anti-subsystem use.

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
Prom S or Kayser depending on power needs (i.e. number of guns I'm supporting), Harpoons for extended missions, Tornados for short ones, Trebuchets for bomber intercept or disarming duty. Mix and match as necessary.

Except the Trebs and Tornados. If only one bank of Trebs is being brought along, the other always goes to Harpoons.

Sounds good to me.  Maybe swap something out with Trebuchet if the mission calls for it.  But I usually wind up flying with the mission defaults most of the time anyway.

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
If it's an assault mission, I switch out the harpoons for trebs and the Prom S for Maxim.  Those are about the only changes I make.

This, of course, does not work for bombing missions.

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
It works against anything other than the fast Shivan fighters.  And even then, just spam Tempests and you'll hit something.

Re: FS2 weapon pairing of choice?
Really? I remember being the one that suddenly saw Harpoons randomly change course mid-pursuit of a ship from its six after RC1 was released, and no countermeasures or any attempt at dodging was made, with my luck Hornets might as well turn around and hit me instead of whatever I try to launch them at.
