If we're getting HARMs soon

does that mean the AN/ASQ-213 HTS as well?

It's a dumb little thing but who doesn't love pod symmetry?

We will be getting the HTS at some point, but I’m fairly sure we won’t see it in the coming update with the HARMs

But will be harms on next update or 'only' mavs?

That is unknown at the moment, a decent rule if thumb is, if there is no video from Wags about it, then expect it to not be included

They did say HARM and Mavs in the next update but only Mav video is up atm, so I'm guessing only Mav.

I believe on Discord they said a Harm video will be upcoming. Patch isn't until next week so they have some time.

You don't want that. If you release next Wednesday, you need to test the package early. So I hope that it's pretty clear already whats in or not. Otherwise there might be some surprises in there as well.

I believe they already have HARM implemented in the internal build most likely under testing and AFAIK Matt wont make a video untill all things sorted out and ready. I'd wait next Sunday or Monday for the video.

@OP: HTS pod is further down on the roadmap, but it will come eventually. The HARM will be released without the HTS first and will be limited to HARM as a Sensor (HAS) and POS mode untill the HTS arrives later and will then provide advanced targeting modes.

You're aware that testing and making a feature video are two different things?

Should have the EOM mode as well for HARM-without-HTS. HARM is quite capable without HTS.

I was wrong about the video. New HARM video is up. Here you go

Would be great if the SAM codes could be added in the kneeboard (with laser code for GBU)

Also need codes for US systems since some MP maps use a mix of systems for base defense.

I could've sworn the Viper can carry Four HARMS, why only two? I'm cool with a center tank and refueling it's actually how I use my Viper, maximize load-out through use of the tankers.

Although there were 4x tests at Edwards years ago, we have no evidence that this was ever used operationally. Additionally, our documents for a 2007 Blk 50 clearly specifies STA 3 and 7 only.

 

If you or anyone else has contrary evidence for a 2007 Blk 50, we look forward to seeing it.

 

Kind regards,

Kinda like those LAU-88s and the AGM-65s :D ;) Sorry Wags, couldn't resist, I know not exactly the same, but close in my book :lol:

3 years in Misawa, Wild Weasel Heaven and never saw more than 2 carried. STA3 and 7. That makes sense.

I'm not sure how accurate it is but The Modern Viper Guide by Jake Melampy states the same thing. And usually those publications are pretty good references. If anyone else knows more, please let us all know.

PS: That book is awesome!

The OFP can handle HARM on station 3467 but only 37 is cleared for flight. SEAD mission requires ALQ on 5, HARM quite draggy, there's no fuel left to fly the mission.

True! But that's why there's External fuel tanks! Most SEAD flights I've seen, it's always the same configuration: ALQ on 5, 2EXT tanks, 2HARM, 2AMRAAM.

Do you mean just a list to remind?

Yes, a static list with all the SAM codes in the kneeboard would be great, so we don't have to tab out of the game to look them up when programming the HARM tables. That would be especially useful for VR pilots! :)

We have three values for each radar - name, RWR symbol and ID code. And we have 50+ items to show, if we want to show all SAMs, ships and other related stuff. There is no much space on the list, so we should come up with how to show them all.

It could be small font, separate lists for SAMs, ships, or something else. We will think what we can do. But idea is great, thanks! :thumbup:

Seperate lists for SAMs, ships and so on would be great! :thumbup:

What I don't want is some sort of smart dynamic lists, that only display emitters that are present in the mission, because that might already give away some information that you might not be supposed to know when flying the mission.
