zsoltfireman Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is it possible to add the Sniper XR pod? :detective: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFunk1606688187 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yes and no. As far as I know you can substitute the Litening's model for the Sniper but the animations don't work properly. Also, even if the model swap did work properly it would function no differently so it would simply be a Litening II in disguise.

genbrien Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Man wish our Hogs would get a suite upgrade..... you speak like if we have an A model..... (real question)what would be the benefit(for non RL military people) to upgrade our Hog? and what would is the difference between the Litening pod we have compared to the SniperXR?

Aginor Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, or the new radios they have IIRC. Sniper (or a newer Litening) has some features: (from the top of my head) multi-track identification of targets color display (not sure about the Sniper, but the new Litening has it IIRC) and possibly more that I forgot.

Actually the differences in suite 3 and 8 is night and day and almost like going from an A to C model. Lots of additions to the TAD and HMCS to name a couple.

rcjonessnp175 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Ya it always makes me chuckle when people question why we should have more updates to our SIM Hog. Modern Hogs are one of the most impressive pieces of Modern Weaponry we have. The updates are very amazing, and we havent even started talking about the updated Weaponry compared to the Old weapons in this sim.....

Fakum Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I simply googled this and watched some real footage of this pod in action,,, quite an upgrade in real life!

Robin_Hood Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Considering all the other aircraft (and anti-aircraft systems) in DCS are stuck with 90's technologies at best, I don't think an A-10C upgrade would be a very logical choice (apart from other considerations). I have made a timeline of DCS aircraft (released and a few announced), and already the A-10C is the most recent by far (BTW, I am unsure what year our suite 3 should start in) PS: yeah, I know that era consistency isn't really a rule for DCS 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks but I think you're the minority. Although I don't see ED upgrading it anyways.

PFunk1606688187 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think that pushing the A-10C to the limits of whats possible would be a good model for doing other modern jets that use similar or identical systems, much the same way the F-15 super sonic FM and the F/A-18C A2G radar will be used to help develop other modules.

panzerd18 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The amount of features people want with the LN F-14, the module will take so long it will be out in 2018. Give me the F-14A, and let me simulate late cold war against Mig-23 etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerdwing Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is there any list of functionality differences between the two to know what we're missing out on? :P From the sound of it, the Sniper XR just leaves the previous in the dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjonessnp175 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'll be honest, once you find out what the modern a10c capabilities are and compare it to what we have in the Sim.
