AIM-9B?

[Brisafresca]

Hi

 

This question is aimed at developers Belsimtek:

 

The AIM-9B, Will it be available in the DCS F-86F?

 

I searched in the flight manual and I can not find in the BST´s screenshots of the Missile Control Panel.

 

Could you clarify?

 

thanks

 

regards

I really hope so, because then it would make an interesting opponent for the MiG-21Bis.

[IonicRipper]

I hope so as well. If we're stuck with guns only, the F86 is going to be so underpowered :'(

Suggest you get the Center Control Panel a Closer Look.

[IonicRipper]

Skate, are you referring to the panel under the dash with a knob that reads "Missile"?

If it is true that the word ``missiles´´ on the central pedestal, is a selector arms and cameras.

 

But the flight manual indicates that the procedure to launch an AIM-9B requires the use of the missile control panel I listed above, here the process of launching the AIM-9B on F-86F-25 and later airplanes.

 

The absence of this missile control panel motivates my question, I want launch an AIM-9B from the DCS F-86F-35 Sabre.

It was confirmed on the russian forums that this sabre will carry AIM9s. Can't remember which variant and I can't find my post with links to that bit anymore.

Chances are it would be the AIM-9B, at the time called the GAR-8. I don't know of any other variant of AIM-9 which the Sabre actually used to score kill with.

Just don't confuse with the GAU-8 :pilotfly:

In the end it could be something like this:

 

 

So, i guess we have to wait and see what we get..........:thumbup:

[FraserNZL]

Isn't that the variant with the cannon the used to stall the plane????

Yes, AAM-N-7 Sidewinder IA GAR-8 = AIM-9B :thumbup:

 

 

Controversy: In the cockpit of the BST F-86 no missile control panel, is that the cockpit is still Beta and we will haven´t at first the AIM-9B?, or never fire the AIM-9B from this module?

Just be happy you're not getting an AIM-4 Falcon Missile :music_whistling:

I thought Sabres didn't carry those in combat?

But only slightly. I think there are less than a handful kills reported with that missile.

That missile was so bad, the Air Force bit their lip and modified their Aircraft to carry the AIM-9Bs.

[Sceptre]

They would have been Better off with the German X4 radio guided rocket than the AIM4 falcon

[GGTharos]

Most certainly not. Say what you want about the AIM-4, it was significantly superior to the X4 in just about every parameter.

I don't think the warhead of GAR-8(AIM-9B) is modeled correctly in DCSW now.

the AIM-9B does not exist even in DCSW
