OperatorDerp Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Hey Guys, Just wanted to ask whether wags statement from an August Newsletter that we are getting the sniper XR pod, But it isn't included in the Planned systems list in the forums. Just want to know what is accurate, and if we aren't getting a Sniper a little insight into why, as its used on quite a few aircraft in the dcs library (A10, Viper, F15E etc) https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/2020-08-14/ Edited February 10, 2021 by OperatorDerp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoked Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 They mentioned that we would get it early on, then came back and said it was not 100% going to happen basically. I think it's one of those things they may revisit down the road, but it is not set in stone..

Northstar98 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) According to this, Sniper XR came on the F-16CM in the M4.1 software tape, we have the M4.2 or 4.3, so our F-16CM is definitely realistic to have it present on the F-16CM (though interesting that the AGM-154s are present on the list, which came in M5.1). The Sniper XR ATP has been removed and added to the planned list many times AFAIK, I think the A-10C II was also slated for it. Ultimately it depends on whether or not they can actually model it - which would require the necessary documentation be available.
