Ghostrider313 Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 I there any work being done to add the AN/AAQ-33 Advanced SNIPER Pod? Having been in the USAF for more years than I want to count, I know that for most USAF units that use targeting pods the SNIPER is the preferred pod. F-15E, F-16 and B-1 use the SNIPER over the LITENING. LITENING is primary for A-10 and B-52.
Tholozor Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Sniper XR is listed on the roadmap: REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/
OldFlyer Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 So it sounds like we could be getting the sniper pod this year! Very excited to see what extra functionality / picture quality this will bring. Would be fantastic if we could get a little preview from ED on what we could expect from the pod?

VDV Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Guys sorry about dumb question but i`ve just seen the F16 roadmap and its almost finish, a lot of stuffs are green. Is green means "compelete" ?? Because i saw LANTIRN pod green colored at the list, but we still dont have it.

The functionality is more like the LITENING but the symbology and such is actually LANTIRN. When we get the Sniper, the LITENING will revert to the LANTIRN. Two weeks (tm) 1
VDV Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 ok so why we ll get more old TGP than newer one ...i mean, i think LANTIRN is older than LITENING

Yeah, some stuff if green colored but not really finished like GBU-24 Paveway III or HTS pod, I guess they cant get all the documentation for that stuff. 56 minutes ago, VDV said: ok so why we ll get more old TGP than newer one ...i mean, i think LANTIRN is older than LITENING Because Lantirn is what our F-16 was using, we are also getting SNIPER XR which is more modern than Litening as far as I know.
