cool, cool

which Squadron uses it?

Ah okay so it won’t be functionally different to the Paveway III and IV thanks for the correction

Tested with WTD61

got an, sources for that?

wouldn’t that require a new radar too?

unless I suppose it’s like Buddy lasing, In that case we may just add Paveways to every aircraft capable of carrying MK8X bombs

You can literally see their tail markings.

no

The Paveway IV has much greater accuracy than the Paveway III and can be used as a simple JDAM. In the game, LJDAM = Paveway IV, that will be enough for me.

And “your majesty” can continue to talk about his heroic 7 frags on the F-14B.

Is its radar even capable of firing ARHs? It would 100% need a new radar for Sparrows though

Rent free eh? How do you even know thats with GBUs?

I’d be surprised if it is

I’m actually even unsure if the radar is really able to detect and engage aircraft entirely

my idea is that this is maybe just a rail and would need another aircraft to Link16 the target postition and provide the CW illuminator in case of sparrows

because that would actually make sense for both the integration and the use case

Thered be no point as the Typhoon was around by then no?

You still haven’t told me the name of the aircraft that you would use to effectively destroy top SPAAs using Paveway II.

I don’t know when this test was, except that it must’ve been after AMRAAMs were introduced

So these are the only things it would realistically get that the current tornado ids doesn’t get. Expecting the other stuff now is just massive cope.
