is sniper equal to SOLT-25?
Also Harrier Gr7 gets TIALD at a higher BR in ARB and the same BR in GRB. So… ?
But isnt Legion quite new?
But there is also just scouting. I know one of the most valuable things the Typhoons could do during Op Shader was scout for ground forces using the Sniper. Even send real-time footage down to the commanders on the ground
the lock ranges for IR missiles against Heli’s from what i can tell are realistic simply thanks to how exhaust is ejected on a heli and how Heli’s simply dont move fast enough to have their skin drenched in heat via intense friction and where engines are positioned, but the Comanche dials the IR signature down by a substantial amount altho i dont know the exact methods besides screwing with the exhaust
There was a tiger eye pod sort of thing on the TGP/navigation pod hardpoint
SOLT-25 is gen 3, which is currently best available, no reason to assume sniper would not also be.
What if they are adding SNIPER to F-2 and SNIPER XR to A-10, F-15, F-16
That would be pretty cool
Yeah (and I really hope that gets added to fixed wing aircraft at somepoint)
But this would help quite a bit with helis

how much it would help with the commanche is difficult to say, but maybe not quite pointblank
TGPs serve a bigger purpose than just A2G IRL. They are limited in capability in-game.
I don’t think we will see the distinction made ingame
So is Litening III. Could the A-10C get Litening III?
What Im saying is, if it could get Litening III. Then maybe it doesnt because of balancing? Also we should assume that for something like Tpods. GRB is what matters not ARB and so the Su-25SM3 is 12.7 and the A-10C is 12.0
Yeah I can see how a really modern one like Sniper could be useful in sim or even GRB for CAP on the F-15C, target ID would be really clear right?
Tbh doesnt really mean to much for most things, mostly because the firing range for 9M is alot lower than the lock range
Its an annoying fiddly bugger in SB. But yes it could be used for that
I don’t think it’ll get the litening 3 because the US never used litening 3

Eh… It is and it isnt. At least Ive had plenty of times where the target was within the LSZ and it wouldnt let me fire because I didnt have tone. Let alone just in range.
Ah… Did not know that. I assumed they did
In which case. Still a coin toss whether they decide something like the A-10C needs sniper.
Like Gr7 with only the Gen 1 TIALD could really really benefit from gettings its Sniper. But Im doubting it would, but instead be saved for the Gr9
The US does not use Litening III. And for A-10C it matters more because Sniper Pod removes the BS excuse for making the 6xMav an “illegal loadout” because there is no restriction on the Lau-88 loading with it.

I heard some TGP can laser more that one thing at a time, do you know anything about that?
Okay, Gen 3 tpod… flip a coin whether its worth it or not. The loadout restrictions. Yeah, now that is a more meaningful reason to add it
Sniper pod also prolly more durable than lightning 2 so doesnt melt when the rightmost mav on the triple rack geta fired
