Nickkerkwijk Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hello, Since yesterday i decided to test the mission editor for the first time after 2 years:music_whistling:. I wanted to see the what kind of loadouts where possible on the F18C. I noticed that you couldn't put 2 Jdams (gbu 38 ) on 1 pylon. But with the mk82 it isn´t a problem. When i fly the A10C, i usually load 4 Jdams, because you can take out 4 targets in 1 pass if they are somewhat close together. Is this going to be updated when the JDAM´s are finally released on the F18, or is it just not possible just like with the A10C? I never understood why it isn't possible to mount multiple JDAMS on 1 pylon. Greetings [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It's a little early to be asking detailed questions like this when we haven't got hold of the Hornet yet. Your best bet is to look at the data available for the real thing right now because ED are making sure it only has prototypical capabilities. I am guessing, but one possible reason for limiting the number of JDAMs on a pylon may be down to the fact that there has to be data transferred to the weapon prior to release. That could limit the use of TERs due to the lack of suitable wiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickkerkwijk Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 That makes sense, i never found a picture or a video where the multiple JDAM's where mounted. To bad it isnt possible to load 4 jdams and 2 mavericks. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kippy Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It is possible to mount MIL-STD-1760 weapons (JDAM, JSOW, WCMD) on the BRU-55/57 bomb racks. I think we will probably see this capability on our Hornet. 163rd vFS Website, Discord Soaring With the Snakes, Fangs Out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunctator Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 That makes sense, i never found a picture or a video where the multiple JDAM's where mounted. To bad it isnt possible to load 4 jdams and 2 mavericks. Australian Hornets with double JDAMs on one the outboard pylons. I think the picture was taken during the recent anti IS operation Okra. Actually I've found a lot images showing such a loadout. For example on the most recent Marine Aviation Plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvern Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 US Navy F/A-18s received BRU-55 racks in mid 2000's. So DCS Hornet should be able to hold up to 8 JDAM's in theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow KT Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Pretty sure there was already such a discussion, maybe in the armament thread 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Pretty sure there was already such a discussion, maybe in the armament thread it was never confirmed regarding BRU-55/A, only that we could load Dual GBU-12s on BRU-33 since they'd be the non-gps versions.

For example, in my former life as a maintenance officer we did sent jets down ranges with green bombs, but that was a bomber and that was a deployment from home to a potential war zone. Those Bugs from Oz are just as likely to ride an An-124 to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
