CheckGear Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 F-15E Strike Eagle carried the AN/AAQ-13 (navigation) and AN/AAQ-14 (targeting) pods comprising the LANTIRN suite and the AN/AAQ-33 Sniper ATP. Will all three eventually be made available for use?
Deano87 Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) It will release with the full LANTIRN suite, the LITENING and SNIPER will come at a later date with the "CTU" update packages.

CheckGear Posted March 8, 2023 Author Posted March 8, 2023 Beautiful. I love how DCS improves each modules the same way the IRL aircraft improved itself in the real world.
elchacal Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 "CTU" update package will be a new concept to propagate updates for the F-15E platform in DCS. It would be very interesting to see this concept implemented among the other DCS modules. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Isn't there already a mechanism to limit available weapons according to a given time frame in the mission editor? All this is doing is extending that to avionics. 1

Muzka Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 How does the Lantirn compare to say the one in the F14, and to the current pods on the F16 and FA18? Is range, image quality and functionality much different?
