ED Team NineLine Posted November 7, 2017 ED Team Share Posted November 7, 2017 I just asked the powers that be, and indeed you are wrong. 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).

mwd2 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 What is about fuel tanks, are they ready at the begin of EA or later?

IASGATG Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I just asked the powers that be, and indeed you are wrong. Okay, cool to note. I guess it makes sense that once once the USAF they might do a software update for their own jets, or just use M's after they upgraded to the P for cost savings. Maybe bought them all off the USAF after the USAF stopped using them for 120's. Any word on the second part of my question? Or that still top secret hush hush?

I believe they stated before that AA would be done after AG missiles were done, that is all I know right now. I would imagine they will want the missiles to be the best they can be with all available information.

RhineHornet Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Weapons: Mk-82 series Mk-83 series Mk-84 series Mk-77 Fire Bomb CBU-99 and Mk-20 Cluster Bombs BDU-33 Training Bomb BDU-45 Training Bomb 2.75 inch rockets 5 inch rockets 20mm cannon AIM-9L/M and CATM Sidewinder AIM-7F/M/P Sparrow I really hope this means we will see the SUU-20 practice bomb dispenser for the Hornet module one day. It can be loaded with up to four 2.75 inch rockets and six BDU-33 Training bombs. Also looking forward to the CATM Sidewinder. Both make training missions much more realistic, loudout-wise, particularly when flying as a CF-18. :) Edited November 8, 2017 by RhineHornet [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 do you think mk-77 fire bombs kill every target in their coverage area in dcs? and how its visual effects in the sim? same with normal bombs or thick fire and smoke?

Ref: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3286287&postcount=1896 This is correct, Wags updated his list, due to effects and damage type it is safer to assume it will come later during EA.

TheWalrus Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Can the C-model carry bombs on the centerline station? I've read about A-model marine hornets loading Mk82 and Mk83s on the centerline but I can't find any pictures of such a loadout. I also found this legacy hornet diagram that shows that double mounted bombs can be loaded on the centerline. Was this ever used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
