Madbrood Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I've often heard of Navy Hornets being sent up with around 1-3 missiles (heater and Slammer mix) for CAP, so I suppose it's not outwith the realm of possibility i7-4770k | EVGA GTX 980 SC | 16GB DDR3 | TrackIR 5, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals DCS: F-16C, F/A-18C, F-14A/B, AV-8B, FC3, A-10C, Black Shark II, UH-1H, F-86F, MiG-21bis, Mirage 2000C, AJS-37, F-5E :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escaner Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 TBH, that mix of all kind of missiles (AIM-120B & C, AIM-7, AIM-9) does not seem real at all in the F-15C. Currenly a normal combat load would be 6 x AIM-120 + 2-AIM-9 or 4 from each. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhand Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is single AIM-9 loadout used in instant action mission common in RL? A single missile of any sort seems odd. You'd normally have two of like type on the proper stations to minimize asymmetrical drag. FWIW, if you can trust what you read on the WEB, you would likely have some variation of these combinations...or less of each, say, 2 & 2 instead of 4 & 4. AIM-7 AIM-9 AIM-120 ------------------------------- 4 4 4 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 8 Like I said, FWIW.
