Hmm. Not a very scientific approach. Counting yes/no's when you have no idea who voted or why! ED please stick to the facts, its what you are good at, and why your sims are held in such high regard.

well, imo it should also be removed, I for one take realism with the good and bad, therefore whatever limits are present should be reflected where it can be, that being said I also think some systems should be changed to accommodate the lack of feeling and real hardware but this issue is not a matter of opinion

Hi BN

 

I voted no for the sim, for reasons of accuracy.

 

However, if I was to play the arcade easy (MAG) style of the game...world is your oyster.

I think stations 3 and 7 should also be limited to 2 mavericks. The blast of the 3rd maverick on LAU-88 risks damaging the tail stabilator. However it was installed and tested back then. Never seen combat operation as far as I know.

Very good question, Thanks for raising this @BIGNEWY , I believe it should be base on realistic data, the F-16 Should be able to carry HARM, Mavericks and Sparrow, I know different block has different capabilities, but it will not hurt the simulator if we can have these capabilities, although may sound not practical to carry 4 HARMS or 8 Maverick but this will be user decisions

Need to point people would say no/yes due to some specific reasons, such as MP or because they are flying by another AC ..

No, people should not be able to ruin other folks' public multiplayer sessions by trucking 4 HARMs or 12 Mavericks. Limit them to two and four, respectively.

 

However, I believe there is a third option that will keep most* players happy: Allow the Viper to carry and fire smart weapons on inner pylons, if they have explicitly been pre-loaded in the .miz itself. At the same time, prevent players from choosing those weapons in the in-game rearm dialog. It used to work for the Ka-50, so I don't see why it could not be used in this case. If the mission creator explicitly wants that loadout, they're free to do as they see fit.

 

*There is always that small but voiced minority who makes themselves heard even in the most trivial matters. The vast majority of people do not really care.

i scoured net for information on mavericks in this config and could not find anything. however there was a post i take as honest that says 4 HARMS is possible.

 

"F-16 BLOCK 50/52 "WILD WEASEL Plus The first Block 50/52 was delivered to the US Air Force in 1991, and reached initial operational status in 1994. The Block 50/52 F-16 is recognized for its ability to carry the AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile in the suppression of enemy air defenses, or SEAD, missions. The F-16 can carry as many as four HARMs." 

 

Shaw AFB - F-16C Fighting Falcon

 

it makes sense for 4 HARMs because they can shoot those and then provide some additional CAP.

I'm glad to see that ED is willing to rethink this, although I don't think it should be about opionions, but about facts. All the facts I know say that the required wiring for HARM and Maverick is not installed on station 4 and 6 on USAF F-16s. If ED has information that say otherwise I would love to see that! Untill then I hope the HARM will be removed from those stations again and voted accordingly, because this:

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.

ah the old days going to the furniture store and there were all sorts of cardboard televisions... hey lets make the new guy ferry some HARMs over to Shaw this afternoon. the cargo planes need some rest.

But, let me ask, if there was a significant number of users who would like to see Mk82 on the tip of the wings, instead of A/A missiles, just because they want to get more bombs available, do you start this kind of poll? And why not? I think you're about to open a pandora box with this one.

Just my 2 cents

No. 

 

The team wanted to get the users feedback also, its that simple. We have data and SME feedback also. 

People can participate or not, the deciding factor will be for the team to make. 

 

thanks

Do you guys have any proof or fact that it cant carry 4 HARM, other than quoting some people that say that they worked on F-16 as ground crew for years (is that even true=)?

 

Would you believe me if I said I worked on Viper for years and we have loaded 4 HARM occasionally when it was a short sortie? On longer sorties with no tankers half way we would have to load 2 bags so they have enough fuel for the sortie. Is it ok now to have 4 HARM?

 

You are asking for ED to provide facts but you don't have any.

There is a major difference from an aircraft being able to carry a weapon and actually properly deploy/fire the weapon. Yes the F-16 was tested to carry 4 HARMS but it was never made operational to effectively deploy/fire the 2 HARMS on station 4 and 6. That is what is being missed here. The facts are the Viper was never outfitted to properly fire the HARM on station 4 and 6.

Yea all that is fine, but I'm trying to point out that none of you people saying that are providing any fact or proof of that, you are just shouting that out loud, that doesn't make it true.

It was literally tested at Edwards AFB with pictures of it. The USAF tests unconventional loadouts all the time with their test squadrons, that is literally their purpose. Just because the loadout is tested for effects on the airframe does not mean that they are put into the Standard Operating Procedures of the airframe. Which is the exact case with the block 50 viper, station 4 and 6 are not wired to employ the AGM-88C or the AGM-65. So unless substantial evidence is presented otherwise there is zero reason to be able to carry the HARM or MAV on station 4 and 6.

So, what you are saying is: you want to see the credentials that these people you speak of, are in fact in the Military and work on said system? There is a lot of current and ex-mil here. I'm sure none us would lie about that kind of thing. We are passionate about our former or current craft. 

If in fact that is what you are asking, how do you propose to see said credentials? And I can't speak for anyone else here but, I have never seen any of ED's SME's credentials! Or any other Devs SME's for that matter! I just trust the process!

I don't see the controversy so long as things are labeled properly. Allow stations 4 and 6 to carry whatever and put a toggle option for it as other modules have (example civil plane checkbox for TF-51 and external mounts for UH-1). This preserves realism and allows us more flexibility.
