kaoqumba Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Does AV8B have air to ground data link? Situation awareness like a10c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenSim Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Similar, but not exactly like it. It uses the Automated Target Handoff System (ATHS) to transmit and receive digital messages and CAS briefs between a JTAC using a TLDHS and the flight lead/wingmen, but to my knowledge it doesn't provide the same kind of constantly updated position and sensor/stare point info that the A-10's SADL does. So properly modeled, it'll allow for digital CAS with a JTAC and sharing target/attack information and free text between the flight lead and wingmen, but that's about the extent of what it could do.

Fri13 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The ground troops can get TPOD video on their terminal, so they can talk over radio to the pilot that what they are seeing and where targets and own troops are. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Yep! Video downlink (VDL) is a highly desired feature of mine for Combined Arms, since basically the entire line of US fighter and attack aircraft could make use of it. VDL talk-ons by player JTACs in CAS would be amazing. "It is also true that we parted ways with Chicken after some disagreements." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yeah, but at least the AI JTAC's mostly suck, (not Raz fault). Human JTAC's are cool, but hard to find at times on aeroquake servers. Also, I'd love something than the generic early 2000's era JTAC's at some point. Turns out FO communications were different back in the old days...

ChickenSim Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yeah, comms have changed quite a bit over the years as radios, marking devices, and prevention of fratricide has become more important. It'd be really nice to get some differences based on the era you're in. "It is also true that we parted ways with Chicken after some disagreements."

Or maybe some Brit ones :) New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.
