A-10C Maverick Loadout Discussion

The thing with this is that I believe it only refers to the closest AGM-65 right next to the targeting pod, as the AGM-65G can be loaded on the LAU-117 pylon next to the targeting pod (there is no specific mention that it can’t be done), and the AGM-65s on the bottom and left side of the LAU-88 pylon are much further spaced than the AGM-65G on the LAU-117.

Flight manuals if the A10 aren’t classified?

then it should be possible to do an async loadout

I never knew that. Where did you find this information?

And anyway, its not like a waver at a squadron / wing level wouldn’t annul this if it was decided to be beneficial based on the wording.

Thanks. Out of curiosity, how did you find this information in the first place? I’ve always had trouble looking for sources and feels like I’m throwing a bunch of darts and see if they stick.

Anyways, there was a bug report (Community Bug Reporting System) made however it was denied but his reasoning didn’t really answer the bug report.

It was denied because we are not getting the sniper pod.

As for researching just time put in.

absolute bullshit

The real maverick issue is them not buffing the lock range of the 65Ls. They should be able to lock out to 28km.

Stupid question but why won’t we get the sniper pod? Is it too classified? Too overpowered?

Why are these new laser-guided Hydras missing the target? I’m designating the target through the Litening pod, the nose of the plane is pointed at the target, but the missile flies off in some random direction.

Maybe idk the reason we aren’t.

You will have to show what’s going on.

How?

Because it costs effort to model and instead they rather just copy paste the Litening pod wherever they can. Similarly they did not even model the TGP at all for the JF-17, the ASELPOD, and it instead reuses the model of the PZS01 pod, at least last time I checked.

The Harrier GR.7, and more even could benefit from the Sniper pod too. I wouldn’t say the pod is overpowered too considering there is similar in game already in the form of the ASELPOD, which boasts good zoom levels and currently (overperforming) thermal resolution.

When I use zoom, the CCRP indication disappears.

This happens during a test flight. So, no one else is having issues with these missiles?

Do you believe that if that were the case, the Americans would not have solved the problem of an airplane with more than 50 years of service?
