Bigity Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Asymmetric loadouts - yay or nay? If yay, which ones do you prefer? Just getting into the jeff recently, I am digging it so far. Needs some bigger fuel tanks and engines but she's fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBorner Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 Yay. Circling a target area to observe targets is easier with TGP on the wing. You can then put a big badaboom or bag on the centerline, more big boom on the inner pylons. Also, Jeff has pretty good range and endurance if you stay at altitude and leave the AB alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering about this since mostly I fly the mudhen or A10 - both of which put the tpod off to the side - way off in the A10 case. I'll have to try that out. I did put a fuel tank on one wing but don't think I balanced it off on the other wide well - take off was quite interesting! In regard to fuel state, yea I found if I keep it out of AB (sometimes I don't even take off with AB if I have enough runway) and around 70-80% power it isn't that bad - I was expecting far worse based on just general commentary. I also have been putting it down on training power when doing A/G work. Edited October 17 by Bigity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm trying to conserve fuel, I fly between 24k - 27k altitude and 4 degrees aoa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Wing Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 Rarely will I do it, but if I do, it’s always BRMs on 1 side and 2 x SD-10 or LD-10 on the other side, depending on what the mission might call for. Normally I try to stay symmetrical, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not very professional or so, but it does its job null 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavkruger Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 2 gb6 sfw, one 800l in centerline, tgp pod on the right and BRM1 on the left, and 2 pl5 is my favorite. for recce flight 2 pl5, 2 1100l on wing, tgp pod on right and a SD10 or LD10 on the left, and jammer on centerline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigity Posted October 29 Author Share Posted October 29 Tried the first one earlier today, it's kinda nice. Some big bombs for the bulk work, then some laser rockets for clean up, and some extra gas. Might try the 2nd one later, find some SAM sites for the rest of the server and have a couple options for either taking out a track radar or a bogey that happens to be around. Wish the wingtips could mount SD10s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
