WOPR Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 It's actually loadable in the aircraft in the current patch 2.5.4 right now I can't seem to launch them though. This is like getting a candy cane made of coal in your stocking.
AvroLanc Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 It's actually loadable in the aircraft in the current patch 2.5.4 right now Completely nonfunctional in flight though. Usual placeholder for new weapons. Means we most be getting closer though......
WOPR Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Completely nonfunctional in flight though. Usual placeholder for new weapons. Means we most be getting closer though...... Trying jettisoning them. I just did and they fired. Unfortunately I wasn't aimed at a SAM so I can't tell you anything more. Edited December 20, 2018 by WOPR
AvroLanc Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Trying jettisoning them. I just did and they fired. Unfortunately I wasn't aimed at a SAM so I can't tell you anything more. I'm not going to bother, they clearly aren't functional in any authentic way. I'll wait a little longer. Everything else in this update seems good though.....well done ED!
DeathAngel1 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 HARM - one of my favorite weapons. Can we use it now? ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:..
AvroLanc Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 HARM - one of my favorite weapons. Can we use it now? Not yet.
Weasel Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 HARM - one of my favorite weapons. Can we use it now? Please note the latest mini update from Wags: In parallel, the team is hard at work on the HARM, datalink (SA page, MIDS, Link-16), FLIR rendering tech, and A/G rendering tech. All of this will be part of 2.5.4.
SuperSix2 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Yes, the HARM is actually in now after 2.5.4, however, like the GBU's they are unusable.
Etirion Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Yes, the HARM is actually in now after 2.5.4, however, like the GBU's they are unusable. The GBUS are very usable with the newest patch but the HARM seems to have be included by accident, pretty sure I've read wags state that its more likely to be January for the HARM but I cant find it right now so I might be remembering something wrong.
TomCatMucDe Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 the missiles also hang in the air from the pylon. It is clearly WIP. in a couple of Beta updates we should have it I guess.

How are you targeting for the GBUs without a pod? FAC or CCIP is the only way I can think of.

Woodford Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 How are you targeting for the GBUs without a pod? FAC or CCIP is the only way I can think of. Wags specifically said that GBUs would require off-board designation initially. Similar to the AGM-65-E's. But the munition itself is functioning properly.
Deano87 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Yep, they buddy lase fine.

TaoGaming Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Can confirm. Just buddy lased in a Harrier for a F-18. Worked just fine in CCIP. You just have to drop them in the general vacinity if the target. Edited December 20, 2018 by TaoGaming
Baaz Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Work just fine in CCRP mode too. Tossed a few of them onto JTAC lased targets.
ebabil Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 i don't see any point to use lgb's in that status. if you want to use something with jtac, just use laser mav's. at least it has a seeker and can engage from a distance FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5

EDIT: I also forgot to mention I was tossing LGBs between 4-6 miles from target as well. So, not like I have to be right on top of said target either. Edited December 20, 2018 by Baaz
Moafuleum Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 i don't see any point to use lgb's in that status. if you want to use something with jtac, just use laser mav's. at least it has a seeker and can engage from a distance Another advantage is that you don't need visual contact onto the target. You don't have to wait while the missile finds the laser spot but can just drop it. In some rare situations, you could for example toss the bomb over a hill ridge to hit targets right behind it. It could be dangerous to do it with a maverick if the target was a SAM as you need direct line of sight contact for the mav seeker. But i admit, such situations are very rare :D In RL, the decision is about money i would say, as GBUs are usually much cheaper than mavericks. Thus, if you don't have a very fast ground mover, you go with the GBUs.
