Shrike88 Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Greeetings Is the AV-8 N/A capable of deploying CBU-87 / 97 ? or is the MK-20 the only cluster type weapon that is available ? Just curious what I have to look forward to with this ? Was looking at the early release posts regarding the weapons with the Harrier and didn't see the CBU, The CBU-97 is modeled fairly well in DCS, wasn't sure it was available on the Harrier. Thanks
joey45 Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 I tried adding the BL755s but it disabled the module. I think the MK20s are the only clusters it uses. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Panthir Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 I tried several MK20 CCIP releases and I found that at first there is an accuracy issue, similar to the M-2000C one. The lower you release the better the accuracy will be. There is a tendency for the clusters to go long. Interval release seems that it is not working as well. Effectiveness is another chapter. The harder the target is the more MK20s you will need to do some job. For example, I have managed to get an accurate 10 MK20s multiple release to kill only one of a team of five T-90s. Better results over BMPs and much much better effectiveness against trucks. I will never use this weapon again. I will stick on GBU12s and MAVs.

Thanks AFAIK, it can only carry the Mk-20, CBU-99/100 (which are updated versions of the Mk-20)and; It is effective against trucks, radar vans, missile sites, fuel storage tanks, surface ships and snorkeling submarines From A1-AV8B-TAC-050, page2-173, para 2.6.1 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..
