Beamscanner Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Ok, good stuff! What about the ambiguous status, what is that exactly? I would assume those are contacts that could not be interrogated (probably because of the issues with the 5 blades antennas?) thanks! I dont know. I haven't read much on that specifically
Manuel_108 Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I'm gonna guess that it'll be 4-7 months before all of this is complete. I like your optimism.
Kev2go Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Swiss Air Force is completely AA with their Hornet, except Axalp shooting. So me as former Swiss Air Force officer - Totally happy with AA ;) Seems like a waste of capabilities given A/G aspect is part of Hornets Design and Mission. IU thought one of the reasons why the Swiss did buy the Hornet over a Pure A2A fighter/Inteceptor was because there was some need for a multi-mission aircraft? Its interseting that even as a neutral country A2A defense is justified for defense of Airspace Sovereignty, but training for A/G weapons employment isnt. What are the Swiss supposed to do if CAS is needed if ( hypothetically) ground Sovereignty would be violated and troops engaged in battle ? Kamikaze Hornet? :P Edited August 26, 2018 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD
delevero Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Will be great with the integration of the helmet.. However i personaly look more forward to getting a TGP or ground radar so i can find the enemy. ( i am not really an A/A guy, i prefer A/G ). :)
MrReynolds Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I'm surprised some modding guru hasn't hacked the a10's targeting pod to the hornet yet. Or even the Mav seeker.... Hint hint.......;-)
Hog_No32 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I'm surprised some modding guru hasn't hacked the a10's targeting pod to the hornet yet. Or even the Mav seeker.... Hint hint.......;-) Probably because you would be surprised to learn how complex that exercise would be (if possible at all without access to source code). It is not a matter of copy and pasting some lines of code from the A-10C. Such a pod is very much integrated and interconnected with avionics and other system. And from a modders point of view (assuming it would be doable), you would invest quite some time to come up with an intermediate solution nobody would be using anymore after DCS gives us the ATFLIR....
