Lonecrow66 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Will we see the hawg make use of this weapon of choice? I'm not sure if it is already included? I'm sure it could be tied into the targetting pod somehow.. Wonder how they do it in real life.. I know the A10's in real life have carried them.. --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!
MTFDarkEagle Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Que? Does the a-10 carry those? I doubt it Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread

S77th-konkussion Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) The HARM? I don't think that capability is in service.. I'm not sure that that missile really fits into the A10's doctrine. Even if the avionics could be carried... which I do not think is plausible even in a self contained pod. I don't know if anyone wants to put an A10 into that kind of risk given it's speed, etc.. HARM does not have unlimited range. I mean you gotta get kind of up in there- and then be able to get out quickly if things get bad... Doesn't mean there isn't some skunkworx-type mad scientist giving it a try, though... :D Edited February 1, 2011 by S77th-konkussion [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]

ebabil Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 guys, how can we learn which ammunitions can be carried by a-10 in dcs a-10 game?

Lonecrow66 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 According to wikipedia they do.. I'll look a little closer. Not sure about the c version I take it back, I saw it used in reference with the text close together (cached copy) of a couple websites. When I searched for info on it,some of the text looked like it said it carried it but when you actually went into the page it separated the text and made references to other platforms. --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!

mvsgas Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) A-10 has never carried AGM-88 nor does it currently has the capability AFAIK. I don't think the Pilots would be qualified to employ them. Not sure if this would be added in the future. The aircraft is to low to effectively serve as a SEAD/DEAD. The F-16CJ, EA-6 and EA-18 would be better suited for that tasking. Just my opinion.

GGTharos Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 The A-10 is not a good platform for HARM. It would at best be engaging SA-15 or SA-8 in most cases, and giving up at least one pylon for an 800lb missile that is useless against its more likely threats and primary targets. There's no point in equipping this weapon - you just call in the wild weasels.

robmlufc Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I seem to remember GG (prepared to be corrected!) mentioning once that they were trialed but never put into service with the A10?

GGTharos Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I don't remember that, but it is possible. There was a smaller ARM too, the AGM-122 (IIRC!) which was basically a sidewinder with a radar-homing seeker. It turned out to be very limited in its use so after about 700 were produced, they were canceled.

Weaponz248 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I think we can rule out the AGM-88 for a while. IIRC the agm-88 requires a radar to give it target and ultimatly launch. NO radar in the A-10
GGTharos Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 No, the AGM-88 requires a radar to be operated by the offending platform, not the offended, AGM-88 armed platform. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
S77th-konkussion Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah it needs the receiver,(for lack of a better term) and the ability to process that signal.. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 You need communication from the RWR to the HARM, and to the Jammer (you won't want that jammer operating when you're shooting I think). You need communication from the missile to the aircraft as well. This will allow you to operate all of the HARMs modes - pre-briefed, self-protection, target of opportunity and harm-as-sensor, albeit probably at degraded capability without specialized radar detection equipment.

Lonecrow66 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Gulf War friendly fire incident During the Gulf War, the HARM was involved in a friendly fire incident when the pilot of an F-4G Wild Weasel escorting a B-52 mistook the latter's tail gun radar for an Iraqi AAA site. (This was after the tail gunner of the B-52 had targeted the F-4G, mistaking it for an Iraqi MiG). The pilot launched the missile and then saw that the target was the B-52, which was hit. It survived with shrapnel damage to the tail. The B-52 was subsequently renamed "In HARM’s Way".[5] --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!
