Still does not mean it is declassified.
The Manual for the Eurofighter DA.7 is also on the Internet but it’s not declassified and you get into a world of trouble if you post it here

Well, looks like I got my work cut out lol (about LJDAM and EGBU on F-15, 16, 18, 117 and AV-8B and A-10C)

this has to be the easiest bug report ever

We’ll see when it hits the live server. I don’t trust gaijin with anything

Some chance that the AAQ-28(V) might get A2A IRST modes.

So the F-14B/D can get it too?

tripod2008 · March 4, 2025, 11:37am

No, but the Equivalent E-GBU / DM-LGB LGB variant(s) should be possible.

MikeyPlayzonYT · March 4, 2025, 11:42am

So they’re just variants of the LJDAM? Why wouldn’t the normal one work? To my knowledge the LJDAM was available in 2005 which is before the Tomcats retired.

tripod2008 · March 4, 2025, 11:48am

No, they are GPS enhanced variants of the Paveway III kits.

Never mounted as EGBU’s were already in stock and the F-14 was effectively already being killed off by '98 due to the AIM-54D / AIM-152 program falling though and missiles not being remanufactures to prevent the motors from aging out of service.

EGBU-24 on F/A-18C Late already.

MikeyPlayzonYT · March 4, 2025, 11:51am

I didn’t see “mounting them in service” as criteria. If it didn’t even require any software I fail to see why it couldn’t be added…

tripod2008 · March 4, 2025, 11:55am

If that is the criteria we might even see the JSOW for them too, as it is technically possible.

The final step included incorporation of a new senes of advanced weapons such as Joint
Standoff Weapon (JSOW) and Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Again, the Navy
determined the Grumman proposal to be too expensive as a whole and restructured its F14 upgrade program to include only portions of the program, which they called Block I

In support of air-to-ground attack missions, the F-14D can employ unguided and
guided munitions Unguided weapons include Mk-80 series general-purpose bombs,
cluster munitions, mines, and airbome and Marine flares. Guided weapons include laser-guided bombs (LGB), and recently cleared MIL-STD-I760 interface class weapons, including GBU-24E/B, JDAM and JSOW.
