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.
Post the replay file
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?
Since we don’t have a dedicated A-10 topic, the report for 4~6x BRU-61/A (permits carriage of the GBU-39, GBU-53 & AGM-187A) got accepted.

The sniper pod showed no issues with mounting the LAU-88 next to it. We don’t have a sniper pod in the game.
Has the A10 ever used/tested the AGM-187A? i haven’t seen any pictures of i. If so will ever be useful in WT? Considering how poorly implemented the Brimstones were, how useful will the JAGM be?
I don’t think pictures exist of the missiles mounted on any fixed wing aircraft yet, at least publicly.
The A-10C is mentioned by name in the AGM-187A’s Brochure and as a UAI Type 1 store, it can be mounted on the BRU-61/A with no additional work to the airframe, since it can already carry the GBU-39 / BRU-61 it would only require a software change at most.
There’s a few pictures of them mounted on an F-15 in the above the brochure.
