[DEV] PIDS+ Should Be Able To Carry AGM-154A-1(F-16C PoBIT)
@Gunjob
Hey there,
I attached some of the pictures you posted in my report cuz I spotted some errors in them but don’t have time to check that out on dev server.

Do you have more intel on whether PIDS+ is able to carry Mavericks and JSOWs?

Thanks!

Su30SM2 is getting 360 RWR coverage, I wonder whether Gaijin would do the same to PoBIT

nah it will come in the next update after because it was underperforming or some crap instead of just giving it a feature it should have had from the start.

im looking at you double rack for the f15 GE, also why do we still not have the legion irst if were getting an IRST pod on the f18’s lol.

LEGION will come as promised by smin
We’ll have to wait

Just in 2030

agm-154b wouldnt even be that good, its still really easy to shoot down

some day, similar bug report was accepted for JAS39E 3 months ago and still nothing.

Is there anything wrong about countermeasures when you equip PIDS+?
I can not get 60 onboard slots filled with Chaff

oops, a known bug from dev server

you can’t convince me the devs didn’t intentionally choose the blk52 with weaker engine and also removed 30 flares to make the pobit as bad as possible

The PoBIT could’ve been a block 40, so no

360° coverage is already in game, it covers 360° in azimuth. You can’t just present 360° as spherical coverage.

Even older RWR like ALR-66 or Sky Guardian are 360° degree coverage. Doesn’t mean it’s got full spherical coverage in elevation.

I am aware, on the other hand, ‘enhanced spectral and spatial coverage’ is explicitly stated in many articles.
Does that translate into either longer detection range or smaller blind spot?

Spectral is covered by increase band coverage. And the spatial could either be range or increase coverage in elevation, but you couldnt just say “increased spatial coverage” = “spherical coverage”

Are these PoBIT F-16Cs?

nice, they are using my City’s airport and Ive seen them flying around recently

PoBIT in live seems to be missing a GPS antenna on the fuselage, after canopy.
