michael_rub Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 I was bombing in the f15e with lager guided bombs (GBU12 GBU24) and i noticed that if i went over 25000 feet the laser would automatically go into safe mode, is there a way to override this limit and use the laser at higher altitudes?
Solution KlarSnow Posted July 30, 2023 Solution Posted July 30, 2023 No, its automatic and part of the pods safety features so it doesn't damage itself. SNIPER has no limitation like this, so whenever it arrives you will be able to use it at whatever altitude you desire. 1

Did the Mudhen ever get the 40k capable LANTIRN (like the Tomcat), or did the AF migrate to the SNIPER instead? -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
KlarSnow Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 no it never got any updates to the LANTIRN. LANTIRN was briefly supplemented by LITENING (a few LITENING pods sprinkled around the deployed squadrons with mostly LANTIRN) when OIR/OIF kicked off, and then both were replaced completely (eventually) by SNIPER.
Home Fries Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 We had the 40k LANTIRN on our Tomcats in 2000 for OSW and Kosovo, but we also had no plans to upgrade from LANTIRN. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
