Hummingbird Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 Oh, honestly thought it was a bug.
flyingace Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 You will most likely not use the centre tank as it kills a lot of speed. Most f-16’s flying in the real world will only carry 2 under the wings

Most f-16’s flying in the real world will only carry 2 under the wings This isn't real life, also they still do fly with them in certain cases. :thumbup: My system specification i9 13900000K/Game board - 64GB of random access memory / Galax 7090/ ViewSonic Elite XG320Q 32 Screen of monitor/ VPC Collective - VPC Sharka50 Grip / Trackir 5/ TPR/ Orion2 F/A-18 Throttle/VPC WarBRD Base/ Hornet grip/F-16 grip/ and most of all a ham sandwich.
Deano87 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 If I’m bomb trucking to a nearby AO (as most are in DCS) a centre tank would be useful.

Wu70 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 For me centerline tank will be great because I will can carry all bombs available and still get some extra range with centerline tank
Buschwick Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 That's where the jammer goes. It wouldn't bother me if they never finished the center tank cause I'm not sacrificing jamming for it once we have it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Strong05 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) I think the Jammer can go centerline or on a chin mount like the TGP. So you will be able to carry TGP, Jammer and Centerline tank. Edit: I was wrong on jammer pod station placement. Edited November 21, 2019 by Strong05 5800X3d, 32GB DDR4@3400, 6800 xt, Reverb G2, Gunfighter/TMWH

With how long the ECM pod is, the MLG gear door would snap it off if chin mounted. It can only be centerline mounted.

Stubbies2003 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 With how long the ECM pod is, the MLG gear door would snap it off if chin mounted. It can only be centerline mounted. Not quite true. True that you will hardly ever see it anywhere but station 5 but it can be mounted and used on stations 3 & 7 as well.
