TPOD on station 2?


Swift.

Recommended Posts

As seen in the picture, it looks like the targeting pod should be mountable on the outboard bomb pylons (at least on the av8b+).

I'm not sure if this is possible on the av8bNA but it would be pretty neat if we could do this aswell.

The tactical manuals do not have them put the TPOD on 2/6, but it doesn't mean it can't be equipped there. It's probably due to dropping ordnance and having the kept payload closer to the centerline, making it less asymmetrical.

Is it not evident enough by the above pictures showing actual harriers using this loadout.

 

It is evident that you did not read the thread I linked for you.

 

No one disagreed that it was historically utilized, at least on station 6. However, the USMC has gone to center-line or stations 3 or 5 mounting as standard practice. So much, in fact, that current tactical manuals do not have them loaded on station 6 (or 2).

 

Zeus pointed it out in that thread. However, I'll quote it here for your convenience.

 

Okay, here's the deal:

Stations 2 and 6 are valid attachment points, but they are no longer used. That is why the TACMAN we have only indicates Station 3 and 5. Station 4 was added later.

 

 

No problem. I'll add the TPOD to Stations 2 and 6.

 

That said, it still is not available on 2 and 6.

LOL - I am not planning on using any asymmetric loadouts in the Harrier.

Interesting though.

 

Why not?

TPod on station 2 and Aim-9/Agm-122 on station 6 would sound quite good to me...

 

However, Zeus made this promise already over 1 1/2 year ago:

No problem. I'll add the TPOD to Stations 2 and 6.

So better to not expect him to keep his promise.
