Wags said they plan on incorporating the AIM-7F and H versions in addition to the AIM-7M.

 

Is anyone familiar with the AIM-7H??

Here's a discussions we can all enjoy; what are your preferred load-outs for the types of missions you're looking forward to most while flying the Hornet?

 

Here are mine:

 

Anti-insurgent/irregular/terrorist CAS load-out:

2x AGM-65E Maverick (Laser)

1x AIM-120D AMRAAM P3I.4

2x AIM-9X Sidewinder

2x GBU-54(V)2/BLJDAM

1x AN/ASQ-228 Terminator II ATFLIR

1x 330 USG Drop Tank

 

Anti-Iranian Navy/IRGC Navy in the Strait of Hormuz:

2x AGM-84N Harpoon II+

2x AIM-120D AMRAAM P3I.4

2x AIM-9X Sidewinder

3x 330 USG Drop Tank

 

Strikes on Iranian land targets along the Strait of Hormuz:

1x AIM-120D AMRAAM P3I.4

2x AIM-9X Sidewinder

2x GBU-12F/B Paveway II DMLGB

1x AN/ASQ-228 Terminator II ATFLIR

1x 330 USG Drop Tank

 

I certainly hope all the ordnance I've listed above makes it to the final cut.

I would say AIM120D is mildly unlikely given the thing isnt even 2 years in service and I am not even sure 18c has it on the navy.

 

Im looking forward to 1x tank 2x slam-er 2x harm 1x aim120 1x atflir 2x aim9.

And hopefully 4x itald 6x aim120 1x tank 2x aim9.

 

For the banter 1x tank 2x aim9 1x harm 1x harpoon 1x slam er 3x aim120 1x atflir. :D

Without AN/AWW-13 Pods slamm-er little better than AGM-65

 

Well except its warhead is a lot bigger and you can tell it to go to narnjia via coordinates from atflir standoff like and run. :D

That's a good list for EA! Hope we can fly the Hornet before summer. :joystick:

 

Well, seeing that list I would say that we will be getting EA in December. :joystick:

Do, or do not, there is no try.

It sounds like Matt is preparing the community for an announcement soon. Not saying this is definite, because ED has been bitten by putting "misleading" time frames out there, but IT APPEARS that something may be coming soon.

The MK40 can actually be employed against land targets. That should be fun. :)

Just a little question to the powers that be.

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the 7M wasn't a Navy weapon? I thought that the Navy went 7E-2 -> 7F -> 7P -> 7P bk 2.

 

I could of course be wrong.

 

Also does this confirm a revamp to missile guidance and ECCM logic? Since all three (4 if we include the bk 2) have the same aerodynamic performance (same shape and rocket motor).

 

Cheers
