Donut Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Why only these two variants of the Maverick? Are the E and F variants of the Maverick the only ones that the Hornet was capable of carrying? From what I have been able to read online, it looks like the E was used mainly by the USMC and the F was designed specifically for the US Navy. Does that mean Navy Hornets only used the F model and was the F model used on only ships or could it be used against land based targets as well? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Why only these two variants of the Maverick? Probably for reasons of inventory and maintenance/training in a carrier environment (not only do you need to carry the extra weapons/spares but also the extra test and calibration equipment). Are the E and F variants of the Maverick the only ones that the Hornet was capable of carrying? Not sure if the other varients were tested ? From what I have been able to read online, it looks like the E was used mainly by the USMC and the F was designed specifically for the US Navy. Does that mean Navy Hornets only used the F model and was the F model used on only ships or could it be used against land based targets as well? The F is suitable for sea and land use. IRMV employs a 300 pound blast fragmentation warhead with a selectable delay fuze (instantaneous, D1=14ms or D2=30ms), and is designed primarily for use against hardened targets requiring delayed fuzing such as ships, bunkers, fortified structures, and armoured vehicles. By default it launches in ground mode with the impact point in the centre of IR source, 'sea' mode biases the impact point so as to hit near the water line. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fragal Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Sure it's the E and the F because they're the only ones navy hornets carry in real life and we have a navy hornet, other countries or users may carry different ones but ours doesn't. So we get the E and F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzaiib Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) It seems like this is one of those things that while it might be possible in theory it has never been done in reality. Page 2. http://www.midkiff.cz/obj/firma_produkt_priloha_140_soubor.pdf I don't know if we're getting the BRU-55 displayed in that photo. We're definitely getting the BRU-33. That doesn't mean it's not still possible, but that article clearly shows the BRU-55 being used with 2 LAU-117's to double mount mavericks. Being able to carry 8 mavs would be so sick! But, I have no idea if the LAU-117 can be mounted on the BRU-33. Fankly, I don't have time to go through hundreds of forum posts to find out if we're getting the BRU-55. At the time i was researching, i just wanted to know if we could double mount GBU-12's on BRU-33's, which is a yes, by the way. If we're not getting the BRU-55, then I highly doubt we'll be able to mount double lau-117's and thus double stack mavericks. The BRU-33 does not have the data bus to support anything but the basic programming of munitions. This would also severely limit the JDAM capacity of the F-18, which requires the BRU-55.

You also have to consider that a specific pylon doesn't mean a plane can mount a certain weapon. 2 Mavs might be mounted to close together to safely fire.

Perhaps i misunderstand, but that pdf clearly shows 2 mavs mounted on a single BRU-55 via 2 LAU-117's. I don't think they'd show that if you couldn't fire them.

In my humble opinion, the Maverick is a better choice for Hornets first PGM. It will give us precision, stand-off capability against a wider array of targets than HARM would.

Chewie_77 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 At least we'll be able to run SA-2 and SA-6 batteries out of missiles and then kill their radars without getting close enough to get shot down by IR SAMs. Definitely more dangerous than launching a HARM from 40nm but still an increase in terms of SEAD capabilities.
