Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcceHomo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I am more concerned about AGM-154A-1. After refusing to use cluster bombs, AGM-154A-1 became the main model of AGM-154A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_No32 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) From what I‘ve seen in videos from those guys who messed around with the lua file to get the JSOW „a bit earlier“, I believe it will be the original A model with the BLU-97/B cluster bomb submunition. In my opinion a great addition to the Hornet‘s arsenal when it comes to SEAD. I can‘t wait to work out my own tactics using that thing against an S-300 site in one of my selfmade missions Edited June 1, 2019 by Hog_No32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrei Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Are we going to get cluster version in the future? Can jsow be launched against moving targets like big ships? maybe with help of jtac or tpod? Yes, we will get cluster A version. No, it can only be used against stationary targets. While stationary ships do qualify, if you can supply coordinates via TPOD, what's the likelyhood it will be indeed stationary? :) AMD R7 5800X3D | Aorus B550 Pro | 32GB DDR4-3600 | RTX 4080 | VKB MGC Pro Gunfighter Mk III + STECS + VKB T-Rudder Mk4 | Pimax Crystal FC3 | A-10C II | Ка-50 | P-51 | UH-1 | Ми-8 | F-86F | МиГ-21 | FW-190 | МиГ-15 | Л-39 | Bf 109 | M-2000C | F-5 | Spitfire | AJS-37 | AV-8B | F/A-18C | Як-52 | F-14 | F-16 | Ми-24 | AH-64 | F-15 | F-4 | CH-47 NTTR | Normandy | Gulf | Syria | Supercarrier | Afganistan | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 That's some good news we'll probably be getting both variants at the same time the original A model with the BLU-97/B cluster bomb submunition Will this be more powerful than the current cluster bombs? So that'd be the same as in the CBU-87. Haven't flown the A-10C for ages, but those were considerably more effective than the Rockeyes even back then. Can jsow be launched against moving targets like big ships? maybe with help of jtac or tpod? Theoretically you could guesstimate a ships position upon impact, or even calculate it and then try to put them there... don't know if that could be done with WP offset function (which still isn't implemented though).

Cytarabine Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Are we going to get cluster version in the future? Can jsow be launched against moving targets like big ships? maybe with help of jtac or tpod? Not unless you know exactly where the target will be at the time of impact. There is a version with terminal IR guidance but that won’t make this version of the Hornet (maybe a paid Super Hornet update down the track :)). Use a Harpoon at stand-off ranges of an LGB at TPOD ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaoqumba Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Are we going to get cluster version in the future? Can jsow be launched against moving targets like big ships? maybe with help of jtac or tpod? No, the JSOW-A and C we will have in the future will only attack stationary targets. Of course, you can predict the way forward based on experience and throw JSOW in front of the moving target. But that's another story. AGM154C-1 has link 16 control, and the terminal can be guided by man in the loop, thus hitting the moving target. But we didn't get it.

launchedsquid Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 From wikipedia "AGM-154C (unitary variant) The AGM-154C uses an Imaging Infrared (IIR) terminal seeker with autonomous guidance. The AGM-154C carries the BROACH warhead. This two stage warhead is made up from a WDU-44 shaped augmenting warhead and a WDU-45 follow through bomb. The weapon is designed to attack hardened targets. It entered service with the US Navy in February 2005." Do you know if this different to the JSOW variant we're getting? or is it inaccurate? I would take "unitary variant" to mean that they'd all have the same features and would expect it to have some sort of infrared seeker in DCS based on this entry in wikipedia.

Wags said in Youtube comments that the version we're getting has an IR seeker, but it'd make no difference to how it works in DCS - the version we're getting just has 'scene-matching' (which I'm guessing means it'll compare against a reference picture of the target to improve accuracy). They're not going to bother modelling it, as it makes no difference to accuracy in DCS and they've got bigger fish to fry (I'm paraphrasing).

launchedsquid Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 thanks, I thought it might do some sort of tracking of a target but it didn't make much sense to me if it did, 'scene-matching' does make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
