Hello all, 

 

We are reviewing the data again on the use of Viper stations 4 and 6 for HARM and Mavericks. We are considering many factors and data sources like reference documents and SMEs.  However, one factor we also want to consider is you. Although hardly the only factor, we do want to hear your feedback. 

 

Please make a choice YES or NO

Don't think community votes on this can be of any relevance, cause there can be more ppl with one or the other opinion not visiting forums and not voting on the subject simply driven away by some individuals who just cant stop shouting their own opinions on what they think should be.

 

I think its the best if you stick to the info you can obtain.

 

P.S. just look at the reaction now;P

In USAF/ANG F-16s, the wiring that provides HARM and Maverick video is not installed in stations 4 and 6. This means the weapons can be installed and ferried but they are not functional (which is why flight manuals indicate it can be loaded). Not a matter of opinion, a matter of facts.

And facts should always win the day.

Yea facts, I'm all in on that, if you have some send to ED, let them decide.

I Wonder If Harms can be used in POS Mode on Station 4 and 6 as this Mode does Not need the Harm to send a Sensor picture Signal to the Plane.

 

And where is the Sense to ferry Harms? You seem to Put a Lot effort and time to clear that topic. Wouldnt it be better to add a "Special wiring" Option that can be forced by MP servers? I mean this discussion seems to Break down to the fact that the wiring is preventing the use of mavs and Harms on 4 and 6. Lets assume the US airforce or Partner countries did Order some Planes with Special wirings for SEAD or Strike purposes....the Special Option might reflect that.

I appreciate getting community feedback,

 

However you lads should just stick with the facts and model things accurately. No HARMs or Mavericks for those stations.

Exact example of the people that are just loud with no facts ;D

 

Same stuff happens with advertising, they spam and spam and spam those commercials till you just cant think of anything else 😄

Voted no obviously, I don't see why this is up for a poll btw. as various SME's have already stated (and I am very confident so have ED's SME's). Weapons like the HARM and Maverick can not be carried on STA 4/6 as they lack the wiring. I believe the same goes for JDAM's but don't quote me on that.

This shouldn't be a vote...if it's not a realistic real world US loadout on the Viper it doesn't belong...

Correct, as far as I am aware the USAF F-16s don't have the pylons wired to support smart weapons like JSOW, JDAM (and WCMD?).

This is a simple yes or no poll to get your feedback, its not the deciding factor.

I believe Scrape, so please no HARMs on 4/6.

All the people keep asking for capabilities to be modelled.... I want the limitations to be modelled.... limitations make for realistic simulation.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a bit you realize the pig likes it.

Hard no on this one.  Many 12+ hour shifts doing wing changes on these to know that 4/6 aren't wired for employment of those munitions.  Also, JDAM's/WCMD's can be employed from 3/7.  Source: I'm a loader, and have loaded plenty of them.

So while I personally voted no I think there is a way to do this that walks the line rather well,

 

 

Make a setting in mission editor which determines whether HARMs/Mavs can go on 4/6.

 

This setting would also allow a bit more room in the future for other such problems. Call it Hypothetical mode or something akin to that. Just my opinion though.

If the F-16 can carry HARMs and MAVs on stations 4 and 6 in real life, then it should be able to do it in DCS too. Otherwise it's not a realistic simulation. I've never used it myself since I fly realistic missions where fuel is more of a concern, but I still want it since it's an option in real life.

-Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies. However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

The point is carry, not shoot. If you want to shoot that many munitions just enable unlimited ammo in your missions and go at it. You can also mod the .lua if you really wanted to carry a bunch of munitions on said pylons.

i voted no, because from the reading the forums it seems not to be a realistic option. if ED has good proof that harms on 4/6 can indeed be used, i would change my vote obviously...

 

apart from that, i do like the idea to have a checkbox for experimental loadouts. people always say it could be easily done by lua, but truth is that most people are not confident with lua editing especially in a MP environment. honestly i don't really see how 4 harms would be such a  gamechanger anyway, but on other aircrafts (f5e for example) such a checkbox would open up really fun and interesting options.
