Im_TheSaint Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago (edited) I understand the technical differences between the pods, tell me which one you actually prefer though Which one do you actually think is better? The zoom is so much nicer on the litening pod, and that actually makes it much more usefull for me for A2A and A2G purposes. There are very few uses of the advanced features of the SNIPer, that are both usable, and necessary, at the lower ranges it can be used for. Tell me a use case that the SNIPer can do, that the LITENING can't, I'm really curious. Edited 17 hours ago by Im_TheSaint
Solution Tholozor Posted 17 hours ago Solution Posted 17 hours ago Keep in mind the zoom on the LITENING pod isn't digital like it should be (like on the ATP), making it unrealistically good. The ATP also has multi-track and an IR pointer.

Dragon1-1 Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Our LITENING appears to be a mix of II and G4 versions, the latter of which has optical zoom. I think the version in DCS was actually supposed to be a G4, but the docs were incomplete.

LITENING lacks Multi-Track, the IR pointer and can't be used for slaving sidewinder seekers. MT makes engaging several ground targets with JDAMs in quick succession much easier since you don't need to manually slave the tgp after each drop, or make markpoints with the DED. The only real downside to the Sniper is that there are penalties for digital zoom. But LITENING having perfect digital zoom is just a DCSism. Edited 2 hours ago by NytHawk

Yeah, but that's why the current LITENING was based on, at least where it wasn't more like LANTIRN. If that pod returns to the Viper, it should be a proper LITENING II, without digital zoom.

We will not get Litening II for Viper since they don't have enough public docs for that, We should get Lantirn later on. Edited 26 minutes ago by Furiz
