ATP For the DCS Hornet

[G21pilot]

The CF-18 Hornet carries the ATP both on the cheek (Since 2011) and the centre station. 
Any chance we could see this in a future update?


Cheers!

No, because our Hornet is a USN Hornet and they don‘t carry the ATP, only the ATFLIR pod.

… and the Lightning pod. The question was meant to be directed to ED. Sorry if that wasn’t clear in the OP.

Currently, Sniper ATP flies on both the Kuwait F/A-18C/D and Canadian CF-18 Hornets. As the Kuwait Air Force transitions to the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, they will benefit by receiving the new capabilities that the latest Sniper ATP configuration provides to the Super Hornet fleet. There are currently more than 27 countries and 15 different types of aircraft operating with the platform-agnostic Sniper ATP.

The Hornet in game is from around the 2007 time frame.

ED have already stated in multiple places it will not be getting the ATP

For example,
- https://forum.dcs.world/topic/314029-anaaq-33-advanced-targeting-pod-discussion/page/7/#findComment-5673710
- And in the F-16 ATP video from Wags, look at Note 3 in the description

OK thanks. That’s a lot more informative than the first response. Still if this is a “wish list” I’d like this to be counted as a vote for it.

Marine corps hornets use it as their primary TGP. It's within the timeframe standard ED has set.

Yep I got that.
