Hmm, good point, for the Spike’s flight path that could indeed let you fire from behind cover.

Forgot to mention that I meant it for ground vehicles

Please say this will be on the martel, or would it be a balancing issue?

Veeeery cool!

Hope ‘some others’ include also the AJ.168… = )

PW4s are also missing DL which would work well with the proposed system

YEEEEEEES!!!

FINALLY!!! I’m so happy

I hope so man, would make the buccaneer a beast and would make its addition on sea harriers mighty tasty if it ever mounted the tv version, which im now thinking it didnt but who knows.

Dose this mean that IR guided weapons with IOG/GNSS will now be fire able without a seeker lock? Or will they still require a lock to shoot and you can just change it later?

yeah, AJ168 guidance seems wrong

I dont think it did, I dont recall ever seeing the datalink pod on the SHar, but Tornado GR1 and Phantom FGR2 could get AJ168

Oooh, good shout, limited form of LOAL

Anything but FnF Brimstones… how are we still justifying them being in such a nerfed state when we’re getting more and more sophisticated weapons and features that makes CAS stronger?

Its a total work of fiction currently

The phantoms? My god, will we see the day where they actually become relevant again?

Oh! Important side note: With this feature, it would now be high time that guided weapons can also be guided directly from the (3D-)cockpit!

Especially the weapons benefitting from the man-in-the-loop feature can have quite long flight times, and staying so long “head down” will be very dangerous…

At the very least having no issues switching between views while guiding is an absolute must…
