rjetster1 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I love the way Razbam keeps us excited with its transparency and progress...
ESAc_matador Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Absolutely. I love the harrier cockpit. Not too modern, not too old.
sirscorpion Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 What is the range of this sead missile? Looks small . Size matters right ? 16.5Km from AH-1W helicopter. Possibly to get more from a harrier IIRC some where around 25km "depending on speed/alt"
sirscorpion Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) @Zeus67, Looked at the weapon list and i got some bad news/good news. you guys are gona need to add the APKWS to that list :P. http://www.janes.com/article/59175/apkws-ii-deployed-on-usmc-harriers It was used operationally in Inherent resolve 2016. Though to be honest i dont see it to be "that hard" to implement. Hud view is in the first vid, and its a simple laser guided rocket. But we need it for reasons "Also the Super Tacano uses it" so might as well. Edited March 5, 2017 by sirscorpion
Zeus67 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I should have been resting, instead I found myself fiddling with the weapons loadouts. This is what I call my Anti-Ship load. You are ready for anything: 1 AIM-9M. 1 AMG-122 Sidearm. 2 GBU-16. 1 AMG-65K. 1 AN/AAQ-28 LITENING pod. 1 AN/ALQ-164 DECM pod. I'm not sure if this is possible due to weight constrains but we'll see in the future.

609_Relentov Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Looking great Zeus! So looking forward to this module. Quick question - is the LITENING pod going to be required to lock onto a target for the AGM-65, or will be able to view the more limited seeker head perspective on an MFD without it (if we wanted to use that pylon for another weapon)? Thanks!

Thanks! I think it depends on the AGM-65 model you are using. The IR and CCD versions can be targeted using the missiles own seekers which send video to the MPCDs. The Laser version would require an external party to lase the target. With this loadout I tried to find a way to hit a ship with medium range weapons. The ALQ-164 DECM pod will help you jam enemy radar signals, degrading their response time. The sidearm will take care of either the ship's search or tracking radar. The GBU-16s are the ship killers since they pack enough punch to sink a ship and those require the LITENING. The AGM-65 is a just in case weapons. Same with the AIM-9M. I feel that with this package you will have the greatest odd of surviving the encounter since the N/A cannot use the AGM-84 Harpoon. I want to know if it can carry and launch the AGM-88 HARM.

mattebubben Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Has This harrier a iff for air to air like the mirage? Inviato dal mio ASUS_X008D utilizzando Tapatalk the AV-8B NA does not have a radar so im pretty sure it does not have a IFF Interrogation ability ^^. Though the AV-8B+ if made later on will ofc have IFF.
Zeus67 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Has This harrier a iff for air to air like the mirage? Inviato dal mio ASUS_X008D utilizzando Tapatalk I think it would be foolish trying to use the N/A as a fighter. It does not carry a radar and while it can detect threats to itself via RWR it cannot detect BVR enemy targets. This is a Close Air Support aircraft, it can fight in the air but the lack of radar severely handicaps it. Also, neither the N/A or Plus (the radar version) variants are supersonic. Of course, any fighter jock that wants to tangle with the AV-8B N/A in its domain, low and slow, is more than welcome. They may even survive the encounter but they will be thoroughly shaken by the experience.

mvsgas Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I want to know if it can carry and launch the AGM-88 HARM. Not AFAIK, Only aircraft that can carry the AGM-88 in the US are F/A-18 ( not sure the versions) E/A-18G, F-16 block 30, 32, 50 and 52 (block 40/42 where updated to carry them after CCIP upgrade) EA-6 (not sure the version) A-7 and F-4G ( USAF version, not the Navy) I'm also not sure the "Sidearm" was ever used. Edited March 5, 2017 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

I know its a new weapon system but it is combat operationally used "also a very simple SA laser rocket" The AV8II+ can carry the AGM84 or Penguin but it was never deployed, the capability was made for Spain, But i never seen it deployed on them as well.
Cunctator Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 The AV8II+ can carry the AGM84 or Penguin but it was never deployed, the capability was made for Spain, But i never seen it deployed on them as well. Was AGM-84 ever integrated? As far as I know dedicated anti ship missiles are just a theoretical capability, provided by the AV-8B+ radar. They were on the Spanish wishlist, but even integration was never funded. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/european-navies-worry-about-harrier-arms-22768/

sirscorpion Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Wow! This is what we call precision! I want this APWKS in my N/A! Yep, quite the versatile system, and its been used in Afganistan by AH64s in 2014 and in Iraq in 2016 by fixed wing aircraft "F18/AV8II". its also used on the Super Tucano "which might convince me to buy it tbh" , F18, A10c, F16, pretty much anything with a laser and can carry Hydra pods.

The USMC wasn't interested in splitting the cost with Spain, and so Spain looked into Penguin integration.
Zeus67 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 It can carry the APWKS. http://www.janes.com/article/59175/a...-usmc-harriers @Zeus67, will you guys consider it?

I am interested, but the APWKS does not exist in DCS so that means we will have to create one for it. In order to do that we would need to know how it works: Guidance method, rocket burnout time, warhead explosive power, etc. From what I've seen it is a laser guided Hydra rocket and it seems to fit inside a LAU-68 or LAU-61.
