Ironwulf Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Basically HTS for the F/A-18, very ingeniously integrated into the outboard pylons. Probably best summed up in this article, which is a great read... [TAS is in most detail starting at 'Targetting Recievers for HARM'] http://www.ausairpower.net/API-AGM-88-HARM.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) i never did find any indication the navy adopted tas afaik the way navy does sead, ea-6bs did all the targeting and hand them off to fa-18s, so an hts type solution wasnt really needed?

Cytarabine Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I was also intrigued by this but couldn’t find any indication USN Hornets used this system. Sadly we will probably have to wait for the F-16 to get a HTS pod for all our SEAD fun. Right now I will go for having functional HARMs back!

EcceHomo Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 This may mean ALR-67V3, while the game only has ALR-67V. It's very old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceHomo Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 ALR-67 V2 after ECP 510 ,has passive rangefinding。It exists in TAC-300 in 2001, but it does not exist in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read the V2 requires the presence of another aircraft to give certain features. This does not... it essentially functions the same as HTS on the F-16.

Without AMU, TAMMCA, VMF and normal TAWS, DCS F-18C is very much like an early LOT 20 with some later weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
