RSharpe Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 When might we expect this for the Hornet? Surely that's the reason for a 3D model with thermal ablative coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarTzi Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Unless their face melting module is a super hornet, I think it's just future proofing. It's like when they recorded ball calls of aircraft that are not in the sim even in AI form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 When might we expect this for the Hornet? Surely that's the reason for a 3D model with thermal ablative coating. Is the USN even using the GBU-54?

Swift. Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Is the USN even using the GBU-54? Yes, legacy hornets did (and still do?) use GBU-54 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Is the USN even using the GBU-54? Yep they do, although they also have the GBU-12 DMLGB (Dual mode LGB). Similar but different to the LJDAM. (DMLGB doesn’t extract target coordinates from the laser, it’s just GPS/INS or laser or laser override in terminal phase.)

Bunny Clark Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Yah, this is quite curious. Does the the USAF use thermally protected bombs at all? I don't think I've ever seen any photos of them. The Navy are the ones that are (understandably) paranoid about fire stability. Maybe this is just a modeler building the two different versions he has reference photos of, since the textures would be pretty easy to duplicate? Or is someone at ED making plans BigNewy doesn't know about? Like Swift I'm not normally one to ask for out of scope weapons to be added onto a module, but if they're already building L-JDAM for the A-10C II it'd be pretty cool if it trickled over to the Hornet.
