Blech Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Hi, http://www.456fis.org/M-61_GATLING_GUN.htm GAU-4 M61A2 Lightweight Cannon (20mm) The primary use of the cannon is in the extremely short range (less than 2000 feet) air-to-air environment, where more sophisticated air-to-air missiles are ineffective. Alternately, the cannon has limited usefulness in a ground strafing role --------------------------------------- 2009 Weapons File published by the Air Armament Center, Eglin AFB, Florida Nomenclature: M61A2 Name: Lightweight Cannon (20mm) Capability: Damage/destroy aerial targets, suppress/incapacitate personnel targets, damage or destroy moving and stationary light materiel targets. Description: Light weight six barreled automatic cannon chambered in 20x102mm. This weapon is fixed mounted on fighter aircraft. Characteristics: Gun Type - Externally (hydraulic) powered rotary (Gatling), air cooled, double ended Linkless helical or linear linkless feed. Weight (lbs.) - 200 Length (in.) - 71.93 System Weight (lbs.) - 860 Cyclic Rate of Fire, shots per minute (SPM) - 4,000 or 6,000 selectable. Muzzle Velocity - 1,030 m/s Ammo Type - API, HEI, SAPHEI, HEIT, TP, TPT (see ammunition section for details) - Dispersion (80% dia) - 8 mils Aircraft: F/A-18A-F F-22A edit ### And it is a question of ammunition In this case : penetrate / destroy light material (airplanes) and set fuel on fire Edited January 26, 2018 by Blech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_sukebe Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Bearing in mind how useless the A10's gun (in game) is versus tanks, probably worth assuming that the 20mm is only good for soft or very lightly armoured vehicles.

Mad Dog 7.62 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Guys, what mean "MULTI" multitude on UFC, then Wags selects quanity of bombs? Its interval of release ? No, its "multiples". So if you have quantity set to 1, and multiples to 2, you will drop 2 bombs each time. Just like on the A-10. So if you have quantity set to 4, and multiples to 2, you will drop a total of 8 bombs in 4 sets of 2.

Gearbox Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 How good is F-18C 20mm Vulcan gun vs ground targets? Is the gun on the hornet tilted up slightly vs centerline of the plane to make firing on a turning adversary easier, but making engaging ground targets more difficult? I could have sworn I read that somewhere many years ago but a quick internet search turned up nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I read that somewhere many years ago but a quick internet search turned up nothing. I'm pretty sure that it isn't tilted and that it's aligned with the Hornet's longitudinal axis.

ED Team Olgerd Posted January 29, 2018 ED Team Share Posted January 29, 2018 How many degrees?

I could have sworn I read that somewhere many years ago but a quick internet search turned up nothing. At least the pilot has 15 degrees of available sight depression - 13 deg down from the waterline to the nose plus 2 deg of gun tilt. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] К чему стадам дары свободы?

Altitude + Dive Angle + Greater Distance + Bullet Drop = Radar Ranging Sight = makes that 2° nothing to worry about.

The fact that we won't have that annoying lateral recoil of the AV-8B gun pod is a plus!

AcroGimp Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I just keep watching WAGS' tutorials on the Hornet over and over, is that wrong? I am stoked, looks like a fantastic module - coming from FSX where study level sims are few and far between this appears to be just an incredible experience. I love the Belsimtek F-5E and am really looking forward to see what they can do with the Hornet. Hope we get some Adversary skins, love the VFC-13 splinter skin for the F-5E, hint, hint, hint.

Emmy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I keep watching the last two Hornet videos hoping something will pop up on the radar! Very, very curious to see how the ground radar turns out (and what comes down the road once that tech works in DCS*) *Yeah, Viggen has ground radar, but it's nothing like the proper synthetic aperture you get in a Hornet (and Strike Eagle, and Viper, etc...)
