Adding the GBU-54 LJDAM to F-16C and F-15E

To add the cherry on top, I believe that the F2 is getting the Sniper ATP but the A-10C isn’t ☠️☠️

Sniper is carried by the F16C/V, F15E and i think the Super Hornet too

yeah only Kuwait for super horent tho iirc

Yeah. Though I don’t think it’ll add too much value for those planes since the TGP isn’t really limiting anything but for the A-10C it is.

There is a “bug” that the devs are aware of where it lets you carry a tgp adjacent to the triple mav adapter but it hasn’t been patched because if they did the A-10C would suck even more.

it would let f15e bring 240 countermesures with TGP instead of only 120

I believe the A and C would have the BOLs too

Edit: Nvm, you were talking about the F15e being able to bring more countermeasures as the sniper pod doesn’t interfere with the dispenser

Interesting, then the Navy might have something different but similar to Sniper?

The F-15E can equip BOL pods too. There weren’t a lot to go around but we can see one, unlike the 2S38 or KH-38MT

I know, that’s why i added the A and C model only that they too can, but i have mistaken the conversation being about the BOLs and not about the Sniper pod making it available for the F15E to have access to it’s 240 CMs instead of the 120 CMs with the current pod

I found out that the F2 got them too, which is straight up unbelievable and unfair behavior from Gaijin to not add them to the manufacturing and creator country first

Like the sniper. It is what it is. Gaijob does what it wants, unless we rise up against them again but nobody will do that just for some bombs

Honestly they would be so much better, as i wouldn’t have to carry a combination of both JDams and laser bombs on the F15 or A10

But yeah you’re right, nothing will happen and they’ll get added next year probably, knowing em

Perfect opportunity to add LJDAMS for the F-15 and 16 this update as they added the ER variants to the game but they just gave the F-15/16 the non LJDAM version of it and added the Laser variant to planes that already had LJDAMS.

Is there a reason why the the gnss bombs can’t be carried on the inner most pylons of the F-16. Is it because of a technical limitation or balance?

Those pylons do not have the wiring interface with the plane for the plane to be able to send the bomb coordinates before dropping so only dumb or laser bombs are available from those pylons on the US F-16C.

well damn, guess the devs just replaced the lightning without doing anything else

If you read the manually carefully, you could already seemingly bring CMs on the TGP side even with Lantirn. Sniper isn’t shorter than Lantirn I think, or at least it still goes over the dispensers. But not every part is covered, so the open spots are eligible for flares, whilst rest can be filled with chaff as I have explained here also:
