Hi everyone, Now that the new S-3B model has been released (albeit in a potentially bugged state), would it be possible for the S-3B's weapons to be corrected, as well as to add some others that are accurate for it (ignoring ASW specific stores such as torpedoes, sonobuoys and mines, as those require additional core functionality in order to work). The model we currently have depicts the S-3B as it was pre-1998 (i.e with AN/ASQ-81 MAD boom and all sonobuoy ports still present, from 1998 onwards the boom was deleted and at least most of the sonobuoy ports were blanked over as its role switched away from ASW). Currently the S-3B has the following stores available: 300 USG drop tank Mk 82 500-lb LDGP Mk 84 2000-lb LDGP Mk 20 Rockeye II AGM-65D AGM-65K AGM-84A Harpoon IP AGM-84E SLAM If the S-3B is to receive Maverick (which was post 2002 according to this, the same goes for SLAM), it should have the AGM-65F, not AGM-65D or K, neither of which is used by the USN. The SLAM should also use the AN/AWW-13 data link pod. It should also have ADM-141A TALD available, which was utilised in the 1991 Gulf War. These are mounted on TERs on the wing stations, but I'm not sure if it can equip a total of 2, 4 or the full 6. The Harpoon variant it should have is AGM-84D Harpoon Block 1C (as with the Hornet), it's probably still compatible with the AGM-84A, but the D is more appropriate (and has a far higher-quality model).

BOL mode, UFC BRG defined by heading readed from HSI on waypoint where ship is staticly located. AGM-84D shortly after parameters typed in, missile will fly on TRUE heading. on HSI the line was dipalyed as the BRG was MAG value. So the is TRUE typed in UFC (missile will fly) but HSI display missile line of flight in MAG heading. Manual says: "Flight Bearing (BRG): (BOL mode only). As with the SRCH function, the player will select the BRG option on the UFC. The magnetic or true bearing relative to ownship that the Harpoon will launch along." My additional question than is which heading AGM-84D uses, or how to switch for missile, where? AGM-84D-BUG.trk

Hello, I shall preface this with the fact that my tacview is installed incorrectly so unfortunately I don't have a tacview of the current instance of this issue, however I have an old one. I had not made a track file as this was multiplayer and I didn't think to. But I still have recordings of it happening. The Issue: Some harpoons fired will simply climb until they kill themselves at 50,000 or higher. Current record of the two harpoons I've witnessed doing this is 66,000 feet. This all occurred on the Syria at War server on multiplayer, Syria being the map. However I should point out I have experienced this bug once prior on the Persian Gulf map as well on Persian Gulf at War, so map doesn't seem to be relevant to the bug. Process: What I did was I loaded up two harpoons on the 2 and 8 rack pylons and I flew off the carrier. Once airborne I began timing out the Harpoons on the stores page and I activated the SEA radar to find my target, which I did and locked onto successfully. I switched the Harpoons to the R/BOL mode and they successfully displayed the target information I was wanting, I set them both to fly at medium altitude with a skim setting for the terminal. Both missiles read the same information. I then launched from 60nm at a broadside stationary destroyer. Pylon 2's missile proceeded to pull up and climb to about 53,000 feet before its engine cut off, whereas pylon 8's missile flew properly at 15,000 feet for the journey and struck the target dead on. The video is unlisted on my account for you to see. I do not have any better way of providing evidence of it happening and unfortunately I had pressed the record button too late to demonstrate my own cockpit footage. However I hope that my description of what I had done should assist in figuring out the issue. DCS Harpoon Bug Video.zip.acmi

Hi everyone, This is probably in the wrong place, but I wanted to bring up something regarding our new La Combattante IIa (finally, a ship from western Europe!). At the moment the La Combattante IIa in DCS is outfitted with Harpoon (though is still erroneously calling them AGM-84S EDIT: Not any more, it's finally been renamed to RGM-84D), but is firing them from launchers for the MM38 Exocet (the ribbed, box launchers). AFAIK Harpoon should be launched from the Mk 140/141 launcher (which has cylindrical tubes), as seen on our current Ticonderoga class. Another thing reinforcing this is that the ship is depicted as a 90s German Type-148 Tiger-class (owing to the radar fit and decoy launchers), these ships fired the MM38 Exocet Block 1 AFAIK, not any version of the Harpoon. Similarly, the majority of the current liveries depict ships fitted with MM38 Exocets and not Harpoons. The only ships fitted with Harpoons out of our current liveries are the Plotarchis Vlachavas (P74 Vlachavas) and Plotarchis Maridakis (P75 Maridakis), only these ships have 2x2 Mk 140/141 launchers, not the Exocet launchers we see in-game. For comparison: Hellenic La Combattante IIa P72 Votsis firing an MM38 Exocet (presumably a Block 1). Note that the launchers are identical to those seen on our La Combattante IIa in DCS. Compared with: Hellenic La Combattante IIa P75 Maridakis with 2x2 Mk 140/141 launchers, for RGM-84 Harpoon (most likely RGM-84D).
