LITENING III was only introduced just before the Typhoons last year. This pod is more than sufficient for them and is mostly what they all use. It remains possible as we said that more aircraft could receive or come with Sniper in the future.
F-15E, F-16C and A-10C were all using older pods and are being brought up to more recent pods as per feedback.
Everyone should get the upgrade, that is the point.
That is why i complain.
Watch as the AV8B+ gets it
@Smin1080p_WT Sorry to pester you again but you wouldn’t have any idea if the bug with the HVSS suspension on some shermans will be fixed with the update? As on the dev server it was also affecting the M4 included in the Hell on Wheels pack? https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/U44I67P9tScu
I dont have any news on that currently im afraid.
The pod is sufficient for Typhoon the Radar is not.
It troubles me that developers can make comments saying Typhoons TGP is good enough while ignoring all the other shortcomings with the airframe in question?
Which is why the GR7 is such a shame. Being a Subsonic aircraft at 12.0 with the TIALD (just as old and weaker than Litening II and LANTIRN) . Ontop of the Gr7 missing a number of possible loadout options and configuration options and all the Harrier related issues at the moment.
Its typical US mains swaying Gaijin its the F-15E engines all over again.
I dont think the F-16C the US have in game has ever used the sniper pod. F-16 Block 70
Anyway it’s done now
Nothing is being ignored. Many Typhoon reports have been worked on and resolved and will continue to be. I would recommend ensuring any issues are properly reported.
They are, and were 6 months ago.
Other variants of Harrier II remain possible for consideration with the pod in the future. Right now there are no plans for the GR.7 to receive it.
Appreciate the reply, but would have to say Typhoons Radar has been broken since it was added.
Which is the assumption I have come to, that it is being reserved exclusively for the Gr9A to maintain a “feeling of progression”
Still a shame though, as the GR9A has not yet been added and would have been perfect to add anytime in the past 2 years.
It is cleared for nearly every F-16 block and used on US F-16
Speaking of F-16AM, will it get the ability to mount AGM-65s and AIM-120s onto PIDS pylons? It would actually make it somewhat less powercrept while not making it busted either.
From my report on Sniper for the F-16C:
Links to those are in the report - [DEV] F-16C missing Sniper ATP
There are also several images online of the US F-16C’s using Sniper including one of the very same F-16C used for the base skin in-game:
A suggestion report is open for that, but im afraid no new news at the moment: Community Bug Reporting System
Any news on the F-16C receiving the PIDSU pylons that was reported? Even the PIDS+ could just be copy pasted over
Would be great to get, even though the US currently doesn’t use PIDS since it is compatible it should get it.
Also since loadout equipment doesn’t have to be in a nations stockpile so long as it’s compatible it should be added.
and yet, British Phantoms arent allowed Napalm…
