In fairness they are not denying that the Hawk 200, or any of the previous Hawks, could use a gun pod. They are saying that specifically the two prototype Hawk 200s have some sort of bulge under the forward fuselage, which no other Hawks have, which appears to interfere with where the gunpod is mounted.
You certainly could argue that the front of the gunpod could be modified to wrap around the bulge. But it does appear Gaijin’s claims are not entirely unreasonable.
Unfortunately IIR Martlets would be even more fake than Kh-38MT, so I personally don’t think they should be added.
fairly sure this is for the ammunition on the internal adens from the first iteration. Greatly doubt they would have been that short sighted as to block full backwards compatability including gunpods, BAE isnt Mikoyan.
If it’s only shown in brochures and never carried in real service, Gaijin won’t add it.Yet they made an exception for Kh-38MT, which was nothing more than a mockup.
There was talk of the RDA having atleast one internal gun fitted alongside the radar but not sure if that went any further. IIRC a guy was in contact with some people who worked on it but was asked that instead of sharing their emails to instead pass on their details to Gaijin so that they could talk directly.
Doubtful on whether they actually bothered to investigate or not.
i dont expect gaijin to add it, we will probably just get sold a hawk 203 instead with all these issues rectified. and it be 10.7 instead of 11.3 lol
you mean another premium hawk? i hope not, think they should just give the hawk 200 rda its gun pod and be done with it
Welp the bucc is back
they… added as 37s to the jag jr1?
Just seen the latest one. They are back, my bad
No, just the French Jaguar A
RAF Jaaaags never used them
i meant gaijin
wait can the jaguar a only have 1 of them?
They are big missiles
Whats the difference between these and the armats, or are they the same thing. Because ive been having a decent time with them on the mirage 2k, they loft quite a bit and have a decent explosive mass.
from memory, they’re pretty similar to Armat with worse range and worse band coverage, so there’s 3 variants instead of 1.
Yeah centerline, so you can’t use any GBUs
The AS.37s will have way more limited band coverage and are split into 3 missiles, not sure how they differ in other respects
