Mk-77 firebomb 3D model has into DCS directories Missing all fire implementation on core and 3D effects. Planned to a future. When it done, they put into DCS modules.

The jammer is internal. they have the curren one that is already implemented, and also there is an optional ALQ integrated in one of the ourboards (in RL), so in RL they have that option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can still use fun and interesting weapons when locked in certain time periods as far as weapons are concerned. It's like with GPS being disabled pre-1986 or something. I actually hope ED will further act on the time-period lock you can set for WW2 stuff, so that available weapons are dependant on the time period. 1 T.16000m HOTAS + Pedals || TrackIR5 || Win10 64bit || 120+500GB SSD, 1TB HDD || i5 4440 @3.3GHz || 16GB RAM @ 1600MHz || GTX1070 G1 || FCIII, L39ZA, AJS-37, Normandy '44, Persian Gulf, Channel F/A-18C, Bf-109 K-4, WW2 Asset Pack, CA, P-47, F-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because deploying the latest and greatest weapons isn't the only fun to have in DCS. Exactly like flying cold war/early jets, there's a lot of fun in flying older 1980s Hornet scenarios. As for the Walleyes I, they were the ones mostly used on the Hornet during ODS, so for a cool ODS strike scenario, they'd be pretty neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I get that but 1) Hornets, especially the C have not used these in combat and were only approved for them. And 2) there are currently far more important aspects to be implemented before any new, old and unused weapons. You will use a Shrike and Walleye exactly once and then never touch it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really dosent matter if they havent used it much. For its 70 dollars we want every single feature that our lot had and they mentioned were going to get.

Mig Fulcrum Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sorry but did the Hornet ever carried AGM-45? I didn't manage to find pics and i didn't know they could carry them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex225 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 What's the latest on the SLAM-ER? I think it was previously mentioned as coming with the big 2.7.0 patch, but the latest information suggests it's simply WIP and not necessarily coming soon. No worries if it's delayed. Just curious where it stands. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, this is all 100% a matter of subjectivity and preferences. My favorite weapons and those I always go back to are the Walleyes and SLAMs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skysurfer Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 @BIGNEWY @NineLine I saw you guys mention a reworked pilot model for the Hornet in the past but can't find the exact thread and statement anymore. Can any of you maybe ask the team and find out what the status is on that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the Shrike, I agree, as it was actually a really dumb ARM that was preset on the ground and could only be fired at one specific SAM radar. Anything that could fire a Sparrow could fire a Shrike (since it's basically a Sparrow with the seeker tuned to a SAM radar as opposed to your own), so our Hornet can take it, but it was the first missile of its kind and as such, a bit of a kludge. However, the Walleye is another story, and they're actually really fun to use. It has some capabilities not found in modern weapons except for the likes of SLAM, for instance you can attack pinpoint targets through a full cloud cover as long as your release point is close enough and the clouds high enough that you're able to find and lock the target once the bomb gets below the clouds. Walleye I would be no different from Walleye II in employment, but it was a smaller, handier bomb, as opposed to the 2000lbs Walleye II. Since in most cases you're not trying to take out the Tanh Hoa bridge, a 1000lbs weapon with Walleye guidance would be really nice to have.

Elunnia Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Do we have information about the datacard? one year ago (or more) wags show us some screen about it. It will be very nice for all the PP droping and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's going to be a sim-wide feature implemented all at once for every aircraft that has data cartridge/tapes but IIRC, there was no timeline given for that. 5 537 Mongo CO vVF-161 Fightin' Stingrays Check us out on the web!

Hulkbust44 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Also something missing was the data cartridges for the Hornet that we're supposed to get. Are those still part of the release plan for the Hornet or has that been scrapped? Without them, anything other than CM Override is pretty useless in the Hornet.Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using TapatalkJust set the programs the way you want in the files, passes IC too.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Not exactly an option for every user. I don't see a reason why an implementation of the DTC a la Deka or Heatblur can't be possible. At least while we get the "proper" implementation, which at this point may take another 3 years for all they care.
