otester Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I like to set up singleplayer scenarios sometimes. I know Iran developed an air launched MIM-23 HAWK missile for their F-14A's, would it be possible to attach a HAWK missile to a hardpoint, I am aware you can attach any AAM to any plane so I don't see much difference for SAM? (If no-one knows can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on doing hardpoints and i'll play around with it). Thanks, otester
GGTharos Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 No, it is not possible. Further, Iran found out that this mating of weapons systems sucked. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

GGTharos Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 No, I do not; but consider that the proof is in the pudding. They put a HAWK missile on an F-14, made some noise about it, but there's been nothing said about it since ... and somehow, Iranian F-14's haven't been lugging it around either.

LazerPotatoe Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Search for a program called LOPE -- it will allow you to change loadouts. I don't think you can put a SAM missle on a jet however. Also, don't play online with modded loadouts -- people will be upset with you. Regards, LP modules: F5-E / A4-E / A-10A / AJS-37 / SA-342 / UH-1H / Ka-50 / Mi-8 / CA would buy: OH-58 /AH-64A / AH-1 / Sepecat Jaguar / F-111
Vekkinho Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Iran never launched a MiM-23 from an airborne Tomcat, what you may saw in the pictures was a dummy missile. AIM-54 Phoenix was bulit exclusively for Tomcat as it's longest stick so there's no point in having a MiM-23 that has a lesser range, is heavier and creates a lot more drag hanging from your wings.

I have searched and all I can find is broken links :( Iran never launched a MiM-23 from an airborne Tomcat, what you may saw in the pictures was a dummy missile.

MIM-23 is very accurate with a Pk of 0.85 and longer burn time so I can see why they tried it. There was a video of flight and launch, I however cannot locate it.

Oh yes. They did. I know the pilot who shut the first Hawk and was involved in the program. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
