Kev2go Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 When the Hornet came out in EA, the Mavericks were one of the first guided munitions to come about next to AGm88 well before any TGP. I know agm88 integration is more complex due to the HTS pod, but what about IR mavericks? The general underlying tech is already there in use on the A10C and F.A18C. So its just a matter of applying the right interface/ symbology specific to how its used on the F16? So in short could this be the next weapon type we can expect for the F16 in the following update(s)?

And AGM88 works without HTS as well. BR, Deadpool Lincoln said: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

Frederf Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 When prepared correctly Maverick from TGP is very easy from pilot's point of view. Point track and missile automatically tracks same target. It's a two button procedure. Fully modeling the whole mechanization will probably be a coding challenge.

deadpool Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The F-ACK button will be used a lot!

Kev2go Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) What i mean is IR mavericks aren't reliant on TGP use. WE have GBu12's but cant designate targets outside of something atop a way point because slewing the tgp sensor around to targets of opportunity then moves your preset waypoints Edited February 15, 2020 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Boresighting / Handoff from the TPOD is quite difficult I would suspect. And AGM88 works without HTS as well. BR, Deadpool AGM-65 can work without TPOD, so why would it be hard to get a basic functioning Maverick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
