Angelthunder Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm making this thread for the Hornet and the list of confirmed weapons will be getting with it.I assume the jet will get Aim-9 Sidewinders,Aim-120 Amraams,Mk-80 iron bombs,Cluster bombs,LGBs,AGM-88 Harm ARM.Will it also be getting the AGM-84 Harpoon ASM or JDAMS.What other weapons will we get.

Texac Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Recently in the last few updates there were model changes made to some weapons and new weapons have ben added. For example: AGM-62, AGM-84A & H I believe, AGM-130 and Tomahawk missiles have been added to the sim or their models have been updated. I guess that some of these might be implemented with the F/A-18C.

RyboPops Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think the Mudhen is the only jet that carries the AGM-130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteKatze Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 F18C release and weapons When will the F18c be released? Also will it be able to have the Litening pod as well like in real life? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texac Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Tomahawk surely not :D Yea the Tomahawks aren't mounted on the Hornet. But I wonder if it's possible to guide one of those missiles into another ship like it was demonstrated with a Super Hornet. I'm not sure if that's possible with the Tomahawk and Hornet we see in DCS. Or whether it works at all with the F/A-18C. 1 - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if legacy Hornets can do that IRL, but I'm pretty sure that won't be possible in DCS.

Revelation Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 When will the F18c be released? Also will it be able to have the Litening pod as well like in real life? Only land based Hornets carried a Lightning Pod. All carrier based carried a different pod, these days they use the ATFLIR - if I remember the name correctly.

Vitormouraa Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Correct, only Marines use the Litening Pod (when they are on land), while Navy uses ATFLIR (AKA ASQ-228-). In this case, the ATFLIR is actually better, since Litening would be using the centerline pylon instead of a fuel tank for example. :) F/A-18C will have all kinds of weapons, from dumb bombs to very modern missiles like SLAM-ER. But I would not expect all these missiles and bombs available during the initial release.

probad Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Is it possible to carry ATFLIR on centerline pylon, even in theory? dont believe so, the fairing for the cheek mount is an integral part of the atflir unit. Do we have a reason to believe the Hornet's first release will be lacking a (small?) number of key features? yes It was about JHMCS. Early access should be available before this system is complete, or even may be started. really all you need in an info thread is a link to olgerd's post history.

Vitormouraa Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Is it possible to carry ATFLIR on centerline pylon, even in theory? No, because ATFLIR is connected thru an adapter, not a pylon. They have different shapes. (btw Olgerd told me that :D) SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktulu2 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Is it possible to carry ATFLIR on centerline pylon, even in theory?

Chrinik Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I've been reading suggestions like this in multiple threads now. Do we have a reason to believe the Hornet's first release will be lacking a (small?) number of key features? If memory serves me well, the last full-fidelity (or whatever it's called) module that ED themselves released, the A-10, came "feature complete" in the initial release. Obviously a number of key systems are still not implemented but ED has said it's feature complete so they'll probably never will. Weren´t the last modules ED released the L39 and Spitfire?

The ability to ID and track air targets without radar will be worth the -1 AMRAAM.
