Taz1004 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) When you have 6 Mavericks, how do you get them to fire left and right pylons alternating. It always fire all my right side first and then left. Other than manually pressing OSB that is.

Vakarian Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 To add to the question. If I have mav pointing on the target and I want to cycle to the next mav (to basically prepare both mavs on targets without having to resort to markpoints), china aft short first boresights the mav and then second press on china aft short actually switches to the other mav. Is that by design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foka Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 When you step the missile the previous will bore sight itself, you can't "programm" missiles to remember targets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to change pylon. And by default. Like Vikhr on Ka-50, it alternates between left and right with each fire.

Chump Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Page 344 of the DCS A-10C II Flight Manual EN goes over Cycling Maverick Stations. It seems like repeated rejection should get you to the next station, regardless of launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping there would be some weapon profile setting that makes it alternate. I assume answer is no.

Captain Orso Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I was wondering about this too. My first attack aircraft was the Harrier, and having an asymmetrical load in the Harrier is not good at all. So when loading up the Hawg with 6* AGM-65D's on two LAU-88's, when I noticed that the Mavs were rifling off the same LAU, I was kind of worried. I've learned since then that on the A-10 an asymmetrical load doesn't make that much difference. So much so, that Fairchild set up the Mavericks to use first one LAU-88 before moving to the other, and that the next selected Maverick will automatically look exactly where the previous Maverick was aiming. This they called "Quick Drawing", so as soon as the first Maverick is away, you can slew the next one onto the next target and launch it, and then move on to the third Maverick. So don't worry about the asymmetrical load and let the Hawg do its thing and let the Mavericks rip in Quick Draw fashion.

dporter22 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) If you fire 3 Mavs from one station, 1500 +/- pounds does make a difference though, so it would have been nice if there was a setting to alternate. It also would be nice if the station number for the active Mav, or any other ordnance, remained on the HUD.

Captain Orso Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Maybe it's a personal thing, but I don't notice any great effect of having 3* AGM-65D on one wing and none on the other. Having the TGP on one side and the Mavs on the other will balance things out too; but honestly, I stopped paying any attention to it. I've got other things to occupy my mind than this. I think if it made such a great difference in the flight stability of the A-10, Fairchild and Raytheon would not have developed Quick Drawing, because rifling off 3 Mavs, one right after the other, but then crashing into the ground because you can't control your airframe anymore, kind of makes the system useless.

silverdevil Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 i personally fire two MAVS from one side and then toggle to other side and fire another two. keep in on that station and fire the last MAV and then switch to org side. i do not feel that i lose control really.

Taz1004 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Quick draw would be useful if IR sensor actually locks onto the intended target. I fire, move the cursor to another target, press TMS up and it always snaps to same target I already fired on. Until I get closer. So I do same thing @silverdevil does. Original question was whether if there is an option to alternate. It sounds like there isn't so I'll live with it.

ASAP Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 FENCE IN for mavericks and then china hat aft short until the top left of the maverick screen either says station 3 or 9. unless you have lau-88s you should only have to china hat aft once to switch pylons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Yoda Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Save two different MAV profiles under the DSMS and deleted the double pylon. Then cycle weapon profile. That said, the aircraft can handle asymmetrical loads quite well. Trim is your friend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
