Gianky Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I noticed that lately the Mk-83 bomb and its derivatives seems not to be part of new releases. Specifically, we didn't get the GBU-32 on the Hornet and the list of weapons for the Falcon doesn't include the 83 in any form. Is there a reason behind this, or is it just a coincidence and I'm seeing too much into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backspace340 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The USAF don't use the Mk83 variants on the F-16 apparently (they didn't on the A-10C either which is why that doesn't have any) - the Hornet's meant to get the GBU-32 later on.

Ironwulf Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 And on the hornet there's no high drag Mk-83 variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Backspace. So, it seems it's a mimicking of what's happening in real life. Does anyone have any idea why USAF is not using the 83s? It seems to me like the perfect jack-of-all-trades munition (at least in DCS). I'm quite fond of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
