mattebubben Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 this one come with AIM120 and TGP? We are getting the AV-8B NA. The AV-8B NA does not have a Radar so no Aim-120s (Aim-9s only for Self defence) though they have stated they might do a AV-8B+ later on. (Which had the APG-65 radar from the F-18A and would be Aim-120 Capable). It should be TGP capable though (though don't know if they have officially announced if it will release with a targeting pod or not).

Galm99 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I am really looking forward to this module, I'm especially enjoying all the new pics and video of late as it helps to feed the hype train RAF Air UK Website http://www.rafairuk-dcs.co.uk/ Mike Alpha Tango's YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9oKDSVDDDErRVjRFqgu3bA Intel i7-6700k RTX 2080TI Gigabyte Z170-gaming K3 32gb DDR4 RAM Hotas Warthog CV1
schroedi Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) So, the AV-8B can use the TGP Pod on all pylons except the most outer wing pylons? Edited February 6, 2017 by schroedi
iLOVEwindmills Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 iirc initially they had to carry the TGP on wing pylons, losing a weapon station, and later it became possible to mount it under the centerline.
schroedi Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) but the combination TGP and gun pod + ammo pod is not possible right? hmm, look like that's possible, too. Are the most outer wing pylons on the US AV-8B and the UK GR7/9 different? US Harriers never carry GBU-12s on that stations, while UK Harriers do. Didn't eitherknow the AV-8B has four wet harpoints. This jet is getting more and more interesting. Edited February 6, 2017 by schroedi

I am not Harrier expert, but as far as I know, GR 9 and AV-8 wings are actually different, so is the number of hardpoints they have: USA ones have 3 pylons under each wing, while the British ones have 4 under each. Another difference would be the gun armament, British ones didn't have a gun, while the USMC ones have the fairly potent GAU-12 25mm gatling gun, almost a mini brrrrrt of sorts. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
schroedi Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 British Harriers can have two 30mm ADEN guns.
iLOVEwindmills Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Yeah the outboards on the AV8 are mostly reserved for sidewinders, I think there's an armament list for earlier models showing its possible to carry a Mk82 there as well though. I don't think the gunpods interfere with the centreline TGP, these are plus harriers but it should be the same idea. Front one has guns removed, back one has them still.
Tirak Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 but the combination TGP and gun pod + ammo pod is not possible right? It is absolutely possible and was done.

Pocket Sized Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 "Ammo pod"? DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.
Cool Breeze Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 "Ammo pod"? The Marine Corps Night Attack version uses a single 25mm cannon in its own pod mounted on the centerline. The other pod is used to house and feed ammunition to the cannon pod. "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Leonardo Da Vinci "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." John F. Kennedy
Vampyre Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 "Ammo pod"? The GAU-12 uses one of the belly pods for the rotary cannon and the other for ammunition storage with a crossover belt and aerodynamic fairing aft of the centerline pylon. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"
Zeus67 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 "Ammo pod"? The AV-8B (any variant) does not have an internal gun. So, it must carry one in a gun pod. It is the same situation with the Harrier GR.7/GR.9. "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."

It is the same situation with the Harrier GR.7/GR.9. ...and the GR7/GR9 never had guns. There was a proposal to arm them with the GR3's 30mm Aden guns but, just like the stillborn project to have new guns for them it, that too fell by the wayside because of poor project management and lack of money. It did look good with the empty pods on there though. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

joey45 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 But the software was there for guns tho. using mobile The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Vampyre Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Software without the hardware is still vaporware. :smilewink: Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

Tirak Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Software without the hardware is still vaporware. :smilewink: And hardware without software gives you the A-16's 30mm gunpod.
JABO2009 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 watching this thread and the development pics, I realise what a wounderful plane the Harrier is and what an awesome module is coming to DCS. Keep it up gents, the Razbam Harrier looks fantastic ! Intel I7 - 10700 K @ 3,80GHz / 64 GB DDR3 / RTX 3090 / Win 10 Home 64 bit / Logitech X56 HOTAS / HP Reverb G2 Running DCS on latest OB version
robmlufc Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 The GR7/9s sometimes carried the gun pods if there wasn't enough strakes to fit in place, as they essentially did the same job as the strakes in the hover, forming the box section with LIDS fence, strakes/gun pods/tgp and airbrake.
Zeus67 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Yeah but AV-8Bs can't mount anything else in the pod locations so It's almost as good as :lol: It can also carry targeting pods there. For DCS the default configuration will be no pods, just the strakes.

Tirak Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Ive never seen an AV-8B with the horns on the nose. Isn't that a GR.9?
