Can the Strike Eagle carry the LJDAM’s and the 1000 lbs JDAM?

[quartas121]

Pretty sure yeah, idk about the 1000lb bc iirc it doesnt use 1k dumb bombs so it wouldnt use 1k LJDAM

[MrKrabsPattys]

So we can get just the 500 and 2000 lbs LJDAM

@MrKrabsPattys

LJDAM’s

Yes. With USAF i cant remember such photo, but with export - yes.
About 1000 lbs JDAM. For some reason it cant use GBU-16 and… Mk83 iirc, so no.

[quartas121]

US is first operator of LJDAM, it fits on the exact same hard point, it’s more than capable of using them

aint that Laser seeker on Jdam?

@quartas121

Yes, i know. But everytime when I try to find LJDAM on USAF F-15E I doubt, cuz it can be DSU-33.

[quartas121]

Doesn’t it fit into the exact same hard points as typical jdam? The F-15 can carry a targeting pod to guided them, the USAF has LJDAM, no reason to not get it

[Abyss_Revenant]

No, it is quicksink program logo iirc. Maybe IR, maybe smth else.

Spoiler

GBU-56 looks like… This

[Abyss_Revenant]

Anyway i more interested in LJDAM-ER

@oom1992

I suppose now lack AIM-9M-9, AIM-7MH, AIM-120C-3 or AIM-120C-4, AIM-120C-5, GBU-15(V)22/B, GBU-15(V)31/B, GBU-15(V)32/B, AGM-130C-9 and EGBU-15

But GBU-15(V)2/B replace with GBU-15(V)21/B

[Abyss_Revenant]

@oom1992

But GBU-15(V)2/B replace with GBU-15(V)21/B

A debatable question, because in the manual SCW can only be used with BLU-109
IDK why this restriction is…

[NАТO]

Hey y’all, do you guys think we could see things like BLU-107 in the future?

And do you guys think it’s appropriate to make a bug report regarding MFDs, like if I were to make a bugreport regarding Mudhen MFDs so we can have a more accurate radar display in cockpit?

Btw for the radar display, I am totally nitpicking. But due to how unique, detailed, and complex the Rafale MFDs are, I would love to have a shot at getting the same for the F-15E.

[quartas121]

BLU-107 may come but wouldn’t be too useful.

Go for the MFD bug report, it’s worth reporting and there are other MFD reports for other planes so mudhen would be fine

[NАТO]

Sweet news about MFDs! :D

And for BLU-107 I guess for majority of players it’ll be useless, BUT for the minority of sim players… it could be extremely cool…

It was a BLAST to use in DCS and it is incredibly satisfying when successfully utilized.

++ to add on, playing the mudhen as a strike aircraft in sim is extremely fun!

Here is an excellent source I found for the APG-70

[kitsune_qq]

Its not really a source
Gaijin doesnt count it as source at least
