whatever the JDAM situation is, i’d expect them to have made a decision if the blog for it will drop today.

When do you guy’s think we will get devblogs for the update after dance of dragon?
First or second week of October

I really hope so. It would be great to receive some recognition and a return on the time and money invested in this game over the past 12 years.
This sentiment isn’t just for me, but also for everyone else who has contributed to the game’s development throughout its lifespan.
I know you well enough so let me translate your question first:
“When do you guys think is the first realistic chance we’ll be getting news about subs getting added”.
Start of dev season won’t have official news on it I think so next teaser will confirm it but a leak might be earlier. Due to the short time between updates, leaks can already drop a week or two after this patch drops.

I’m mostly for it because they got cool camos anyways lol
Why would they add Taurus or Storm Shadows tho? They are anti-fortification weapons
Yeah, wouldnt that be nice to have…
Would also give Gaijin an excuse to give Russia cruise missiles like KH-59 which would in return create more “russia bias” complaints
To be fair, the Tornado GR.1 also is the only one to have the older Mk101 engines
Dunno about the CLDP pod, but I’m pretty sure the TIALD pod is also worse than the LITENING II pod
The best attack aircraft premium pack
AV-8B Night Attack (USMC) and AV-8B+ (USMC & Marina Militare) lack GBU-32(V)2/B JDAM 1,000 lb (450 kg) & GBU-54/B LJDAM 500 lb (230 kg)
My ADHD brain really enjoys that we likely only have to wait 2-4 weeks for devblogs for the new update after this one gets released.
Do you mean it lacks them in WT and needs to get them or lacks them irl and so likely won’t get them in WT?
Was more referring to the 10 → 4 JDAM situation but would love to see bigger/different JDAMs on it too.

It’s the former, it should have access to them via the D-ITER (BRU-70)

Considering that the F-14B was mentioned as planned to receive JDAMs in this update and the only size they used is the 1000lb GBU-32, having multiple variants added is likely for most airframes that are planned. Though I wouldn’t at this point be able to say with any amount of certainty that the loadouts will be correct, as most airframes have unique station adapters(e.g. F-16 w/ BRU-57, AV-8B with BRU-70) or otherwise non-standard carriage rules, since JDAMs require the mounting station to be MIL-STD-1760 compatible.

Thanks!
That gives me hope that even if we get only 4, we might still get the 1000lbs ones.
Do you have any knowledge ff the D-ITER allows for reprogramming of the 2-3 JDAMS hanging on it’s rack in flight as opposed to just pre-flight programming only?
tripod2008 say this
I think F-14B mounted GBU-31(V)2/B JDAM only but after F-14B (upgrade). Actually F-14B can’t armed JDAM
Rename F-14B from USA tech tree to F-14B(U), change new HUD by Sparrowhawk HUD

Another F-14B, yeah that would be cool.
Does reduce the chance of a 1000lbs JDAM for this patch unfortunately.
Very curious to see what the AV8BNA blog will say!
It has full JDAM capability, they can be reprogramed in fight as the AV-8B shares many components with the F/A-18 and F-14B(U) / -14D so integrating was well sorted by the time it was being done for the AV-8B’s OFP.
The lack of re-programmability is specific to certain airframe configurations and comes in tiers
The Ukrainian MiG-29’s for example, because it was a crash program to achieve capability a lot of the nice to haves were not included initially for expediency and also due to a lack of relevant targeting sensors and integration, inflight Re-targeting wasn’t really ever going to be an option since they weren’t in permissive airspace.
For example the initial F-14B(U) / F-14D, wasn’t capable of automatic handoff though targets could still be manually updated, the process just wasn’t entirely automatic. (Where the Aircraft could use its radar / TGP and generate coordinates and those be uploaded from memory at the press of a button.) initially Co-Ordinates would need to be generated, read-back, noted, then re-entered in the proper location then uploaded to the JDAM for reprograming the target. But since it was only a slight software change it didn’t take too long after feedback was gathered.
