What new feature of the Hornet are you most looking forward to?

Jdam (gbu31/38) with mgrs or decimal input capability for wpt

Harm

Tgp

Datalink

HARM any day of the week, and twice on Sundays,

A/G Radar is the most important.

It will be the first in DCS and broaden the A/G side of the sim, time for some A/G radar love.

You should merge Targetting pod and guided bombs options together as people mean both in pair when voting for either.

^....what he said!

Dammit why only one choice??? (rhetorical)

TBH I want both the HARM and guided bombs. At the moment my squad has to use the trashcan on our ops for SEAD (and it looks really weird having a single SU25T flying alongside a flight of Harriers and a flight of hornets). The aim is to use 1-2 a/c types max, however SEAD is pretty important.

having said that, CCIP/auto bombing is still pretty inaccurate. We could really use guided munitions.

I voted ATFLIR and with that, I would include guided bombs as well. However, with the recent focus on the air to air weapons and systems, I would rather have this seen to completion before shifting focus to air to ground unless of course there are enough resources for both.

ATFLIR

HARM

JDAM/JSOW/LGBs

No no no no you guys are ALL wrong. Most important and most needed is the Mk77 Firebomb.

HARM

ATFLIR / LGBs / JDAMs

JHMCS

A/G Radar / JSOW

A/A Radar submodes

LINK 16 / MIDS / SA Page

Harpoon

SLAM-ER

Air-Ground Radar is the number one thing i'm been waiting for age in DCS. Been able to acquire ground target trought cloud, attack ship, well, anything i can see on my SAR image :music_whistling: Then goe the rest of it, HARM, JHMCS, SLAM-ER (<- this one is going to be HUGE add on too!) I dont mind ACLS since i can land it myself on mother, anyway like Sony use to say : "Greatness is awaiting" for DCS F/A-18C module ! Soon will be attacking ground site hundred of miles away with cruse missile, sink ships, go wild in the weeds to SEAD even send decoy !:pilotfly::joystick:.

I'm anthusiastic...

it's a hard one because half of those systems = core to what makes the hornet the hornet, the A2G radar = what makes it an all weather strike aircraft and a lot of it's munitions work hand in hand with it, even the Advanced Tactical Low Light and Infrared. HARM gives it the ability to run self protection on a package, Track While Scan allows it to actually effectively engage multiple targets, the datalink helps etc.. Really though with RWS and the like in I can see why people want TWS as it's is important for proper use of the AIM-120, but the A2G side of the Bug needs some love as well, so far the love has been very much just air to air.

But forced to 1 choice, the A2G radar, as it would allow for long range targeting and while not the ideal mean to find and kill SAMS (the Harm is) it does help with it.

Only one thing.... Normal IFF on radar display, not that thing on HUD which works at low ranges and saying its Ally even if its enemy... it happens to me 50% of time

Target for Tonight

A/G:D

ATFLIR, AG radar, HARM, JHMCS, SLAM E/R, ACLS

You're a meanie for making me choose just one.

Only one thing.... Normal IFF on radar display, not that thing on HUD which works at low ranges and saying its Ally even if its enemy... it happens to me 50% of time

That option is the 'AA radar' - we need the other modes before the Hornet will have IFF on the radar display.

Fixing the existing radar would be nice. (IFF + STT break on rolls + radar ceasing to work mid-flight)

What he said ^

F/A-18 (Fighter / Attacker) currently, the fighter side has more weight than the Attacker side. I vote for:

1- ATFLIR with some Guided Weapons

2- HARM

HARM.... so much HARM!! :)

That means we will not have any those update for tomorrow

I though we will get JHMCS at end of Aug

There was no promise that JHMCS was coming by end of Aug, only that they were trying to get it out. Statements like yours lead ED to quit giving us estimates and prioritized efforts.

Also, if you look the poll closes at the end of November. You shouldn't take the poll as any indication of development stage of any features.

What's the difference between HARM and Air to Surface Radar?

Eh? That's like asking what's the difference between an AIM-7 and the AA radar.

What's the difference between HARM and Air to Surface Radar?

HARM is a specific weapon system used in the suppression and destruction of enemy radars. Air to Surface Radar is the radar mode that allows the aircraft to "scan" ground and water-based targets.

A preferential voting system would give a more accurate picture of the order in which people like stuff.

people dont even know what their missing out on with LTWS, L&S, DT2,TWS, Raid, and Az/El..

Theres so much more capability missing. Right now the radar gives very little SA.. A completed AA radar would give more SA than any other radar in game.

^^^^^^ This times 1000000000! I'm beginning to wonder if many of the Hornet buyers have any Air Superiority in their blood!?
