Ehh. Useless or not I would still like to see all the historical ordnance.
I don’t think Laser Mav is historical on USAF aircrafts.
Idk man. If they used them i want to see them. If they didn’t so be it. Wasn’t there another much newer vairant of the Mav. Like the H or K afaik
H in game already iirc and it is same or very similar for… AGM-65B? AGM-65K we already have in Sweden TT on Viggens and Gripens (Rb.75T)

It is but it’s fairly rare, and tended to only really be carried by aircraft expected to go on BAI / CAS taskings (e.g. Specific Block F-16’s & A-10s) since the basic -65E could not properly track own-ship designators due to the way the seeker worked (the basic -65E inherited the -65C’s SALH seeker from the early 70’s) has to do with how centroid tracking and Laser reflections & Shadows, interfere with the Guidance and Control section.
As such the -65E-2 / -65L (the same missile, sans HERO compliant SAD system) is far more useful, since it can be freely self-lased and isn’t left hanging without additional support (which frees up other tactical elements to do other things). And permits better tasking for specific Target sets meaning that inventory can be better managed. (I wouldn’t be surprised if the Digital seeker from the E-2 was backported to the HEAT-F warhead to produce the AGM-65C-2 configuration to allow full use of remaining inventory of the 125lb warheads).
LJDAM bug report got closed for being a duplicate, which ig is fair, for every jet except the A-10C.
And they also deleted your comment and removed the A-10 vs F-35 document for being classified, even though the only reason you came across it is because it got declassified (at least I assume lol) and there was a whole article linked in report on it being declassified lol
Not blaming you, just wanted to let you know and also I find it kind of funny, since the one jet that it isn’t a duplicate of I cannot report since the primary source I used is apparently classified
Can’t find anything immediately (which makes sense since it’s a pretty obscure piece of equipment) but it’s come up before and iirc it cannot fire amraams and is only good for ferrying them around. Would be cool if they could
everything should come to fact that there is patent on double amraam rail for amber cfts…
Yeah I’m fine with those, it’s the quad racks that I’m unsure about
All the same, needs to wait. Because no one can prove the absence of double pylons for the Su-27SM and Su-30.

Has anyone bug reported that the F-15C/E are both missing NCTR?
I’m pretty sure the F-15’s are actually somewhat famous for their having NCTR, since it was what allowed them to perform BVR shots without AWACS approval during desert storm iirc…

you said something about how current F-15 ingame feels similar to other FBW jets a while back, here is how FBW F-15 would feel compared to current F-15 (also, note the giant color display)

I could be wrong, but i tried them in test drive (cuz i was gonna make some bug reports for missing cockpit NCTR for some jets) and it seems none of the american F-15’s have NCTR at all.
When i tested in the dev server they had full NCTR functionality like what is on the SU-30SM and rafale/eurofighter
Now in live it only reports engine count so basically just JET/MULTIJET/ROCKET Which is i guess technically still NCTR but disappointing full functionality was removed
It didnt even show that when I was in the test drive with the F-15’s i’m pretty sure, but I guess thats better than nothing. Ill have to look into it more tomorow and probs throw upa bug report regarding the missing NCTR in the cockpit atleast.
TWS lock or hard lock?
