AN/ALR-69A(V) did get C-K bands from the report so it should also get the coverage.

also does anyone know if targeting pods always gave gun calculations

i never noticed this before.

Yeah done that for a while now. Currently the only way for some planes to use EEGS, like the AMX’s have a range finder radar but can only use the EEGS if you turn it off and lock a target with the TGP.

Still not 360 as seen in statshark
guess it will change soon

I noticed it a few months ago, its pretty useful for some aircraft in GRB. Using the TGP to find enemy aircraft (using Air Alert or Thermals) and then tracking them with the TGP instead of radar. I realized it in a dogfight when I lost radar lock

okay gaijin i like this ui update its good, but godamn did it just remind me that 50% of a jets capabilities are locked behind the SL and GE, yes i know you can get it by grinding but a million rp -1.5 million is dumb,

Hi! that triple rack (TER-9A) is able to turn into missile launcher after being attached with LAU-127, LAU-128 and LAU-129 (should be LAU-129 cuz its for the F16) and its able to carried most of the air to air munitions in the world and it has been approved by the Marvin Group which is the manufacturer of those rack.

I believe that this rack do exist because they had been shown multiple times in Lockheed Martins rendered Image and Marvins Group have collaboration with Lockheed Martin. Meanwhile there is a similar thing called TMLA also being mentioned in the armed sales contract between Lockheed Martin and Türkiye which is cancel later due to Türkiye decided to upgrade their F16 fleet by using their own upgrading plan and not using the plan from Lockheed Martin.

But this will be the proof that the related technologies have already been test and being able to use
since it is not possible that US government will approved a sales of an item have never exist.

Even tho we dont have real footage of the MML(Multiple Munition Launcher) or the TMLA (Triple Missile Launcher Adapters) but there is multiple evidence showed that the related technology do exist.

Hey. Unfortunately there is no proof of testing. The order was placed, but nothing materialised thus far.

All of the above information has already been seen and is known to the devs. They are seeing for more than just renders and cancelled orders as it stands.

Any new information is welcome.

Just wanted to give compliments and say that developers did a good job lately in implementing bug reports for the AIM-120D and Derby-ER! @Smin1080p_WT

Great to see these changes.

What did they change

They increased AIM-120D’s weight by 1kg (still implementing the only report out there on the AIM-120D) and they significantly buffed Derby-ER which I covered in this post:

Digital plane

be happy it doesn’t just say F-16 (AESA) like it does for our Typhoons because that makes bug reports a lot harder than necessary
