Where is...

[tusler]

We or maybe better stated I need a AGM45 Shrike, I know the A10 is capable of carrying one, Can we have one?:cry: It would sure make doing SEAD against those pesky SAMs more fun...:thumbup:

[cichlidfan]

... I know the A10 is capable of carrying one,...

 

Unfortunately, 'the A-10' has a number of capabilities that are not modeled in the sim. :)

[Snoopy]

And what's your reference that it can carry it?

[tusler]

I guess it cannot carry the old AGM45, I thought it would but I can find no reference to the A10 carrying any anti radiation weapon.:doh:

So now we need F4G's more than ever hopefully carrying AGM 45's or better:music_whistling:

Other option is to use the Su-25T, it has SEAD capability.

thanks Sarge, I have never paid much attention to the Su-25, I primarily enjoy the Helicopters of the sim, but with the reduced ability to survive around SAMs in heli's I am venturing into the fixed wing side to try to learn something about SEAD, so far all I have learned is it is real easy to die if you don't know where the SAM is and you don't see the launch.

Thanks for the input.:thumbup:

We will get a DCS-level (PFM/ASM) SEAD-platform when the F/A-18 Hornet comes out.

I also wonder if the KA-50 can use the anti-radar version of the Kh-25 (AS-12 Kegler) in real life?

SEAD

 

I would VERY much love a NATO aircraft capable of SEAD missions. Did I say VERY much, because I MEAN VERY MUCH!!!!

The Kh-25 is much too heavy to be employed from a helicopter.

So DCSW is unrealistic in that regard? Because in DCSW the Ka-50 can carry the Kh-25ML

the MPU version... plus you need the equipment to use it.

[Aginor]

Yeah, I agree with the equipment. I just interpreted Sobek's post more generally.

Actually I think it isn't even the missile's weight (I doubt it is that much heavier) but the ability to carry alll the stuff you need in addition to the missile.
