Has anyone else had any success with launching them? I guess they haven't gone through, with their decision, I tried just now, it wont recognize 4 harm loaded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viciam1 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Can we carry HARMS on pylon 4/6 now if the server allows to do so? Or not yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiz Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Not yet, it didn't make it into this patch, will have to wait for the next patch, as Bignewy said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I wonder, if a ship is wired for 4x HARMs, shouldn't it be able to carry and launch 4x Mavs, too? Now, unlike with HARMs, I have no idea if such a loadout was ever tested, and there might be separation/clearance issues, so maybe not, but I don't know.

Hextopia Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Tested a 4 HARM loadout and wasn't able to get the inner pylons to fire. I thought the loadout restriction patch was going to re-enable the inboard HARM pylons? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlift Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Tested this also after an internal dispute on discord. It seems all the payload restriction setting does atm is not allow you to put the harms on station 4 & 6 (if switched off). But if you do, they still dont register.

b0bl00i Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Same.. Instead of a wosh I had to dive to safety.. I don't get how things are announced but not included in the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hextopia Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Probably shouldn't have merged these threads until after the problem was fixed, since the title on this thread doesn't make it clear that 4 HARMs is out until the next patch.

Eld0r Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/ As I understand from DCS 2.7.6.13133 Open Beta - 2021·09·22 - Pylon 4 and 6 now got usable/launchable HARMS (no MAVs?) again for the F-16? (So I guess there was a special workaround preventing equipt HARMs to launch from pylong 4&6 and MAVs were just restricted for loadout. Now this HARMs workaround got removed.) and already since DCS 2.7.6.12852 Open Beta - 2021·09·17 - the mission editor tool for payload restrictions on individual pylons per plane was introduced. So I guess the discussions about HARMs on stations 4 and 6 is finally over since the solution is already out for 7 days now and the mission designers take care of that. Added to my todo list. Wait.. What about just carrying for transport? twitch.tv/eld0r — Chaos, dumme Sprüche, Chaos und keine Wiederholungen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodo Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 After doing a fair bit of research, I cannot find one real life example of a F-16C Block 50 ever firing a AGM-88 from pylons 4 or 6. I can't even find one manual that shows it was even possible. I understand this is a game but if we are going to do fantasy why not let the MiG-29S use vikrs or laser guided bombs. Or let the F-14 use jdams? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love these reverse psychology attempts ED did their research and found out that some were able and some were not able to fire harm from 4 and 6 (this exact model, block and tape), not all of them were wired for HARM on 4 and 6, naming this fantasy module is really disrespectful to ED and their work. Your post looks like a 12y/o not getting his candy. You did a bit of research? where is that research? who did you speak to? where do they work, what rank/position in the US airforce do they have? which documents did you see, and how did you obtain those? You don't have to tell us, tell that to ED, send them PMs, they are always open for new evidence. Come to think of it, if you had some strong evidence you wouldn't come to the forum and insult someones work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite simple if the AGM-88 was able to be fired from stations 4 and 6 then they would use the same stations to utilize Amraams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) 11 hours ago, Furiz said: Why would they do that? To be transparent to their customers. Saying "we have proof" and not showing it, while there is no indication anywhere else that what they say is actually true, gives a shady impression. Personally, I will give ED the benefit of the doubt and I'm willing to believe them to be correct, if they say they actually have proof, but it's not the best way to gain the trust of your customers to hold it back.
