Hawk 200 Technical Discussion The Fighting Hawk

Couple of photos of the Hawk 200’s proposed NAV/Recce pod

Photos

Appears to be a Vinten Vicon 18-300 recce pod

Also a photo of the first production Hawk 203 for Oman being built at Brough

Unfortunately they seem to have stuck a red dust cover in the middle of the defunct Aden 25 bay, so can’t see if they actually put anything in there on production planes.

The Skyflashes and radar seem very strong for 11.3, it still looks quite fun

Watch as it goes to 11.7

She's a very pretty plane

What’s that little black dot just behind the radar on the RDA? it’s not on the in game model

Ohhh so it’s a recce pod, I was losing my mind trying to figure out what was on the belly in this photo…

Spoiler

And a pod for 3 bombs

[AblativeKitten]

huh weird, it’s on the later liveries too

[GLOXINIA_z15]

Has this been resolved?

Other photo. Was at Le Bourget 1987 it seems.

bigger version
I can’t really tell what bombs they are meant to be. But they look like they have SAMP logo on them

Ed:- and another photo from Le Bourget '87 that happens to have the ZH200’s Aden 25 in frame

Ed2:- Triple racked bombs are likely 125kg SAMP BL-61

Triple SAMP 125 shown with the mockup

Hopefully it will be resolved soon, if it hasn’t already been.

Gotta love Skyflash tracking a random Mirage IIIS 15km away and outside my radar illumination beam instead of the rapidly approaching F-5E lmao

Spoiler

To say I was confused is a mild understatement

[An_Pigeon]

is it just SRC PD or SRC PD HDN?

[da12thmonkey]

Scampton 1989 (Red Arrows 25th anniversary air show) ZH200 appeared with a significantly larger bulge where the gun pack is fitted

Other images

Any ideas why? Looks like it might have only been on the port side

[AblativeKitten]

Just SRC PD

Hmm, Brass catchers like on the Hunters?
idk why you’d need it though

[An_Pigeon]

even better !
The HDN mode is a pain in the butt

[AblativeKitten]

Skyflash one again having a normal one. Just to check that I’m not going insane the Radar illumatior is the green cone right? Or is that wider? I just wish Skyflash would actually target the guy flying directly towards me aaaaaaaaaaa

For Radar modes the RDA has:

• SRC [20 x 7, 60 x 14, 120 x 7] @ [19, 37, 74, 148]km
• SRC PD [20 x 7, 60 x 14, 120 x 7] @ [19, 37, 74, 148]km
• SRC SEA [20 x 7, 60 x 14, 120 x 7] @ [19, 37, 74, 148]km
• ACM [7 x 8, 10 x 40, 20 x 19] @ 19km

[An_Pigeon]

that is pretty nice tbh for an 11.3 with 2 average missiles.

[Bonrath]

No ground modes? Sadge.
Does it at least have SPI?
