wpnssgt Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Here is the loadout data for the A-10A prior to the PE upgrade. Just some notes If something is loaded on Station 6 nothing can be loaded on Station 5 & 7 and vice-versa. AGM-65 can only be loaded on Outboard & Bottom Rails of the LAU-88. AGM-65H & K are new versions with CCD (Charged Coupling Device) Seeker which is basicly an Enhanced TV Maverick. Only AGM-65B, D, & H can be loaded on LAU-88 as the AGM-65G & K are too Heavy. ECM Stations are 1 & 11 only -------------------------------- Operational Loadouts Standard Loadouts will always include the following. 2x AIM-9Ls ALQ-131 or ALQ-184 ECM Pod CAS & CSAR Missions [#1] 2x AGM-65 2x LAU-131 4x CBU-87 [#2] 2x AGM-65 2x LAU-131 2x CBU-87 [#3] 1x AGM-65 1x Lightning Pod 2x LAU-131 4x GBU-12 [#4] 2x AGM-65 2x LAU-131 4x Mk82/BSU49 FAC Missions [#1] 2x AGM-65 2x LAU-131 (1 with WP) [#2] 2x AGM-65 2x LAU-131 (1 with WP) SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM Combatace 47 Miles from the DMZ!

Guest Cali Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 All we need is for Shepski to upgrade his mod to this, well at least for the A-10. Sweet work wpnssgt, now I'm going to tell your RO about this :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Scythe Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Aren't AGM-65Ks just AGM-65Gs modified with a TV/EO seeker (as opposed to an IIR one)? If they are, then how can the AGM-65K be carried in pairs on the TERs when the AGM-65G cannot, since they should both be about the same weight? Only AGM-65B, D, & K can be loaded on LAU-88 as the AGM-65G is too Heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the G is bigger isn't it, that was my impression with AFs Gs only carried single missile per pylon. The other thing is that I have seen photos of Mavericks carried in pairs which makes sense for killing tanks. Any reason why none of those configurations has them in pairs. Also missing the BSUs in lockon. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tflash Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I'm pretty sure the G is bigger isn't it, that was my impression with AFs Gs only carried single missile per pylon. The other thing is that I have seen photos of Mavericks carried in pairs which makes sense for killing tanks. Any reason why none of those configurations has them in pairs. Also missing the BSUs in lockon. the AGM-65G has a 300 pound HE warhead; the D model has a shaped-charge 125 pound warhead. The D is a real tank-killer, on the viper it can be carried on the LAU-88 triple launcher. In the anti-tank role, it makes sense to carry more missiles. The G model is suited to attack buildings, fortifications, small bridges, small ships. I'm not sure about the K-version: it is supposed to be an overhauled G-model, with the IIR-seeker replaced by a low light CCD. The AGM-65H would then be an overhauled B-model. Both have been used in Iraqi Freedom, where the CCD seeker proved less sensitive to sandstorm disturbances than the IIR G-model. I guess that a K-model with 300 pound HE warhead can only be single mounted, whereas a K-model with shaped charge warhead could be carried in pairs?

wpnssgt Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Your're right, there is a typo in the data I have. The G & K are the same except for the seekers. The H model is the 125lb warhead version with the CCD. I will fix the above data. SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM Combatace 47 Miles from the DMZ!

D-Scythe Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 In my understanding, the A-10 can carry any Mav with the 125 lb shaped-charge warhead in pairs on its TERs. Off the top of my head, that (significantly) is the B, D and H variants of the missile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpnssgt Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 So is there a configuration with mavericks in pairs? There are but they aren't used all that often. Just take the ones I listed and add 2 each for Stations 3 & 9. SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM Combatace 47 Miles from the DMZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonnieRock Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hello Everyone, I did not know it could carry so many MK-84's. 6 of those is a massive amount of weight.

WhiskeyRomeo Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Good stuff WpnSSgt - thanks for the data! I've always wondered why the FAC loadouts don't include the Lightning Pod. Seems an ideal targeting aid for guiding in other CAS birds. Any insight into why the FACs don't carry Lightning Pods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMVI_Surgeon Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I found the way to use GBU in 1.11.:horseback Simply download LOPE, then load central pylons with gbu and save. When you build a mission, you must designate some ground targets such as building, bunkers, etc.... when you steer towards that target, the target box on HUD become a sort of maverick cross: fly over the target and when you hear the signal launch and the bomb will fall on that designated target. some shots: ...please post your comments if you'll try it. @wpngsst: you can only use internal pylons for gbu's?

Dice Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I would like to clarify something here so everyone doesn’t get the wrong idea about the LAU-88. Yes it had problems during Desert Storm and the drag when using them is great but, this doesn’t mean the LAU-88 is not a piece of equipment forgotten by the A-10 community. After Desert Storm the LAU-88 was modified to fix the reliability problems encountered during DS. The LAU-88 is still deployed with the A-10 and can be used at a moments notice to triple the load capabilities of the A-10. During OIF the LAU-88 was used to ferry Mavericks from the main operating bases to the FOL This cut the amount of time needed to support the FOLs and gave the A-10s forward operating capabilities quicker than could be done other wise. The LAU-88 is still a part of the A-10 inventory and will be until the A-10C is fully operational. Ugly but well hung! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBS17 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Can that inboard 65 still be launched off the lau 88, wouldn't its rocket motor damage the wheel? [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
