Hey Cobra,

 

Can you combine all the Weapons thread's into one? Also in the Process, can you just say a little something like "Yes you will be able to drop bombs?" I have no doubt in my mind. However, there seems to be a lot of thick skulled people out there that, can't see a painfully obvious clue to save their life. Thanks, -Woog

So I've been searching around and can't find it. Where are the countermeasures on the tomcat? I read somewhere that they were removed, is that true?

One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales...

:)The Future of DCS is a bright one:)

Isn't that the arrestor hook?

going to have to have a look at some tomcat pics now to work out if thats what we're looking at.

 

edit: yup, look at render 6 you can see them on the render that leatherneck posted in the announcement, just goes to show how impressive the 3D model is.

That's a late B or D beaver tail since it has the ECM antenna which means the dispenser should be the AN/ALE-47, right? Those models also had dispensers in the LAU-138 Sidewinder rails (or BOL rails).

How do you know all that???

 

respect is due.... :D

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't. I had to refresh my memory after seeing the picture to identify the exact "beaver tail" and then check what was the name of the upgraded dispenser as I've read recently about the upgrades they went through and remember that the main dispensers were upgraded and that some of the CM's were placed in the new launching rails..

 

I'm sure there are some people that keep all this stuff in their heads, but there's too much information lately bombarding the brains so it's easy to forget these little details unless it's your job.

F-14A Basic

For your viewing pleasure, I present a basic "A" model Tomcat releasing a load of Hell. Tomcats of all types could drop bombs. Even in their early varieties they could be used a "Bomb trucks" with a JTAC, or another aircraft Lasing the target for them. -Woog

Picking different weapons is the easy part- but the aircraft needs to have each pylon modeled independently, except for the tanks and the sidewinder stations. You should be able to load a strange "peacetime" Cold War CAP patrol load of 3 sidewinders, One AIM-54 and one AIM-7, distributed to minimize asymmetric load. I'm very interested in taking an 2 AIM-9/2 AIM-7 + TARPS on a high speed, low-level BDA.

 

I've seen strange live loads if an AIM-54 on a Phoenix pallet next to a CBU or MK-82. A lot of research needs to be done to determine what configurations were cleared.

I never heard of that one before - I'd read it was two 'winders, two Sparrows, and a Phoenix - though this may have been the "wartime" CAP loadout.

It would be a loadout when on cruise with no events happening, just blue water CAP. No war at all, just aircraft armed to respond if necessary. There's plenty of pics of asymmetric loaded F-14s with only one live AIM-9, an AIm-7 under the opposite wing. and an AIM-54 on a forward station mounted closer to the AIM-9.

Do you have any? Not that I doubt you, I'd just love to see them!

That has to be a Weapon test photo...note the telemetry stickers all over the aircraft and weapon.

 

A buddy who flew out of Edwards AFB told me weapons release test were dicey propositions until they proved the weapon and aircraft would separate properly.

That's the NAWC NF-14A testing GBU-24 release. Also a shot of it releasing at high speed in level flight. VF-154 flew F-14As until the end and dropped GBU-24 in OIF.

Look 2/3 of the way down this page to see one of Bio's own pictures of a VF-24 jet on cruise. This one only has one missile of each type, all live "war" rounds, as indicated by the yellow and brown bands. Doing this allows you a longer flight time, obviously and doesn't waste missile flight hours/catapult/trap time.
