twistking Posted March 5, 2024 Posted March 5, 2024 (edited) This is a very modest wish: DCS lets you select USAF and USN "skins" for bombs. The USN skins come with the thermal protection coating, but in the case of the GBU variants they also come with grey guidance kits. The USAF style bombs come with the green kit only. So, i humbly wish for the option to also have the "modern" grey/green (non-coated) USAF version for all the Vipers, Warthogs and Mudhens to make their load-outs look a bit more 21st century. Similarly it would be cool to have USN version with coating and the "old" green guidance kits to better fit historic scenarios.

Northstar98 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 (edited) Yep +1 This, alongside the older-style green ablative coating is all that's needed to complete the colour schemes for USAF/USN bombs, and apart from a few cases (such as the Mk 81) those already exist: Spoiler Mk 82: Mk 83: Mk 84: (This one is currently the USN option available in-game, rather than the white coating) GBU-10: GBU-12: https://i.imgur.com/twv3b66.png (Note the grey guidance section (apart from the seeker), in keeping with OP's request) GBU-16: https://i.imgur.com/LpkCcKZ.png It's only the Mk 81 and GBU-24B/B that doesn't have the old-style olive ablative coating available (the Mk 81 only has AF-appropriate textures).

Are the un-coated ("USAF") bombs with grey guidance kit also already in the files? My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
