EcceHomo Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The GBU-12 in the game has existed for a long time, and in reality, the variant of GBU-12 has appeared in EGBU-12. The RAZBAM has added GBU-54 to AV-8B. Will ED bring any surprises to F-18C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitormouraa Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 That's not upgrading the bomb, that's adding a new bomb. See the planned weapons for the Hornet, if what you're looking for isn't there, the answer is probably no.

backspace340 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 If they give us the newer GBU-12, I think that means we won't be able to carry as many as they need the digitally enabled racks (like JDAMs). The old style GBUs can be dropped from the same racks as the Mk82s/3s, so we'd be able to take 10 - new style we'll probably only be able to take 4/5. It sounds like the only advantage of new style is being able to change the code in the air (though I'm not sure) - if so I'd kinda prefer the older style!

Paving stones II only laser models do not hit the target very well. Now DCs can not reflect. The EGBU series is an improved version of Raytheon, which incorporates GPS / INS to ensure that it flies roughly toward the target without laser irradiation. Instead of upgrading the paving stones, II has a very short range of LOFT at low altitude. In 2005, Lockheed received orders to upgrade the Navy's GBU-12. The model after that is GBU-49. The US Air Force began using EGBU-12 as early as 2001, because GBU-12's hit accuracy is low. I hope ED can upgrade paving stone II. This is a wish list.

EcceHomo Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 F/A-18 doesn't use MK-82AIR Time for a little update! Much our Hornet work has been focused on an overhaul of the Hornet radar. As you might imagine, this has been a huge task, but it will be worth it for the Hornet and other aircraft. As of today, it's near impossible to shake a lock with just ownship maneuvers. Now we just need to have the radar RTS after lock loss and MEM mode times out. We've also started initial tests of the JHMCS in the simulation. The attached image is an image of the HMD at a VERY incomplete state. We are now adding more and more of its symboloy and functions. MK-82YT Ballute and CBU-100 have been added internally. Speaking of CBU, the destructive power of anti-armor sub-munitions have been significantly increased, as well as the coverage footprint. The Flashing X on the radar has been when a person skips turning on the radar during a cold start has been fixed. Target lock in MPRF against short range, high-aspect targets has been corrected. AIM-7 HOJ is active development. New interactive training missions for CASE I recovery, AIM-9, and AIM-120 are now being created. Locked target HUD symbology jumping around has been addressed. TCN symboloy on HSI when viewed from a duplicate display has been fixed. Other items in the near-term cue: - HARM - LGBs - FPAS page - Automatic range scale adjustment - A/A Waypoint, BRA, and Bullseye functions - LTWS ATFLIR is also a high priority, but we first need to complete a an all new and improved FLIR rendering system.

This. I believe the GBU-49 just started integration with the Navy hornets around that time and that takes a while before it would be cleared operationally and any aircraft upgrades rolled out across the fleet. I’m sure there are people more knowledgeable on the subject around here though. I’d be happy just to get buddy lased standard GBU-12s at the moment lol. :thumbup: Proud owner of: PointCTRL VR : Finger Trackers for VR -- Real Simulator : FSSB R3L Force Sensing Stick. -- Deltasim : Force Sensor WH Slew Upgrade -- Mach3Ti Ring : Real Flown Mach 3 SR-71 Titanium, made into an amazing ring.

Frederf Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Time for a little update! MK-82YT Ballute "82Y" or "82YT" is not a ballute. It uses BSU-86 which is metal. Mk-82AIR as found on A-10 is not used on F/A-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano87 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Mk-82AIR as found on A-10 is not used on F/A-18. Well something is wrong in game then! Certainly looks like an Air Inflated Retarder to me.

US Navy did not equip MK-82 with BSU-85, while MK-82YT was equipped with BSU-86. Mk-83CT is equipped with BSU-85.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazius Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Just cause I wanna have some fun with this. The bomb is technically the Mk-81, 82, 83, 84. Everything else is just kits :) So technically its adding kits. And that is where the real work is required as every kit has some unique characteristic. Heck, I don't think we have airburst options yet. Even on the A-10C I think the Mk-82AIR has an efuze for setting burst height but I don't think it actually does anything.

Frederf Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) According to that 2001 TAC-300: 82Y is not a possible code 82YT refers to BSU-86 tail, not BSU-49 82C, 82CT are not possible codes 83CT refers to BSU-85 tail My understanding is that BSU-49 is not inventory by US Navy nor cleared for use on F/A-18 or any other US Navy aircraft. It is probably just a placeholder weapon as 500 lb. high drag until proper weapon can be made. I do not know why ED added "82Y" as a valid weapon code though. Maybe the latest software has added more codes later than 2001. CF-188 apparently uses Mk82/BSU-49 combo.

Flagrum Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 fwiw ... 82Y (non-thermal protection) is the SMS code for the Mk-82 BSU-49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
