Dudikoff Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) I actually don't care about the Harpoon. The F18 has it and I can fly it if I want to deploy them. However, does mean that USAF doesn't use the Harpoon or the CM is not capable of of using them? I'd presume the USAF is not using them on the F-16's, so it wasn't integrated in the WCS. IIRC, they did use them on some B-52s during the Cold War? Edit: I guess they are using them still. https://warisboring.com/transforming-the-b-52-into-a-maritime-patrol-plane/ Edited May 31, 2019 by Dudikoff i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

Oceandar Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 As long as it certifified and capable for using it, it should be added. Doesnt matter if USAF ever loaded with it or not IMO. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tze
RaceFuel85 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 As long as it certifified and capable for using it, it should be added. Doesnt matter if USAF ever loaded with it or not IMO. Except it wasn't certified on USAF F-16's and they're not capable of using them.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G975F mit Tapatalk The USAF does not use them on the F-16 and the F-16 is incapable of using them in USAF service.
Ghilliedraptor Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 How does the F-16 fare against the F-18 in terms of air to ground capabilities?
RaceFuel85 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 How does the F-16 fare against the F-18 in terms of air to ground capabilities? More or less the same. Some people will bring up things like the SLAM-ER missile, but it's rarely used. For day to day stuff they're more or less comparable
JEFX Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 @ Ghilliedraptor To really compare the subtleties of each aircrat capabilities, I encourage you strongly to listen to the various episodes of the FighterPilot Podcast. There is a series on aircraft among others one is on the F-16 and another on the F-18 (with real pilot's interviews). Fantastic series and very informative! see here [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust... In real life I fly a humble Cessna Hawx XP II with 210 HP :D

Kayos Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Does the F-16's Litening pod have the same Low Altitude Navigation functionality as the Lantirn pod (AN/AAQ-13) or does another sensor we are getting? Edited June 7, 2019 by Kayos [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

IF ED are going to be doing skins for foreign operators of the F16C blk 50 which have varying capabilities different from the USAF/ANG one that they are actually modelling, i don't see why they can't include an aggressor skin(s), especially since even the F/A18 did.

I'll guarantee you there will be at least a couple. Then skinners will take it from there.

dudeman17 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I didn't see any updates to the models of the current in-game versions however I did notice that there are now two more in the menu both the F-16A MLU and the F-16C blk50 As opposed to the F-16A and F-16C blk52d that had been in there previously.

_mu110_ Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I haven't seen any updates to the model. I'd also add that at least currently, all the different Viper variants share the same 3D model. Check out my skins and mods on the User Files.
SparxOne Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Hey @Wags Just wanted to know if there is still some possibility in the future to see the Sniper XR pod for both the 18 and 16 ? Or is it a final decision to go for the Litening pod ? Thanks
