F16 loadout chart?

[Mohamengina]

Is there a chart available that shows how many weapons of each type we can use on the F16s pylons?

 

I haven't managed to find one :huh:

like this

[mvsgas]

Not sure if it applies to our expected version. I question the Gunpod, Recce pod, BVR missile, 600g tanks, anti shipping missile and A2S missiles. Should not be able to carry any of those.

I have a 2003 dated PACAF Standard Conventional Loads (unrestricted, freely available from the USAF e-pubs site) doc that says what configurations were approved on the Misawa Block 50s, but would that break rule 1.16?

Pylons 7/7a and 3/3a, what does that mean?

Multiple Carriage Racks

It means that in what ever version of the F-16 that is for, you can load a missile launcher for the AIM-7 (BVR missile), a Missile rail for AIM-9 and 120 (Advance BVR ) or a MAU-12 for weapons.

Not multiple loads per pylon like the F-4, F-15 Tornado can do.

Hi mvsgas, can i load the tripple racks for MK-82/S on the F16 we will get in DCS?

Yes. EDIT, 2007 Viper has the ability, likely the DCS Viper will as well.

I don't know what we can load in DCS version. On the Real aircraft, yes. 3 Mk-82 (different versions) Two canisters (different versions) 2 GBU-12 (different versions) can be loaded on TER on station 3, 4, 6, and 7.

Cool, this and HARM's is all i need for AG/SEAD :D

 

Thanks :thumbup:

I should correct, the 2007 Viper does have that ability, I'm sure the one in DCS will as well.

Thanks, you know more than most of us. Not being sarcastic, you still work the aircraft. I haven't since 2012.

Hey mvsgas, are you a weapons troop?

[Creature_1stVFW]

I still work it. Been loading weapons since ‘86 and will be until they tell me to go away old man! :)

[ViFF]

Panther & Creature whats your take on the max number of AGM-65s allowed on stations 3 & 7 in operational loadout? 1x per station or 2x per station with LAU-88?

Does anyone know why they aren't including JASSMs and JSOWs anymore?

Now? no, just a fat guy with internet. I was a terrible DCC once.

Started in Luke 1997, 310FS, 36FS in 2000, 510FS 2001, 510AMU ~2003, 9AMU 2004, 80AMU 2008, 62 AMU 2009, 310 AMU 2010 and 8 MOS 2011 to 2012.

 

I help load the jet before. You don't have to go to load barn to install the front fins of a -120 ( just need to use that tool in the center of the fin) or holding the GBU seeker while they installed the bolts. Argon for a -9 is not hard and you just have to hold the fins on the rockets...well technically you have to go to load barn but only if QA is around.

The software that allowed the USAF F-16 to use those weapons did not get introduce until 2008 and was probably not done being installed for a year or two. Then unit would have to wait to get the actual weapons, AMMO personnel need to be train on them, load crews have to learn how to installed them on the aircraft. Weapons capabilities are not gain overnight. So generally speaking, Unit scheduled to deploy will get updates first if possible, then units more like to deploy and finally training units.

That makes sense, but i also heard that EDs F-16 will only carry 2 AGM-65s. what's up with that?

I thought it could carry two triple racks

So we wont get JSOW and JASSM? Sad....:( I was thinking to buy DCS:F-16C because of them.

[Revelation]

I, too, was looking forward to having the JSOW and JASSM on the Viper; the removal of these weapons have no effect on my intent to purchase this module.

 

Ultimately it is what it is. Either you want to own the Viper or you don't. Enjoy DCS regardless of the side you sit on; see you in the friendly and not-so-friendly skies.

[Nealius]

I understand the removal of JASSM, but JSOWs were approved standard loads on 35FW Block 50s back in 2003. Isn't the Viper we getting circa 2007?
