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

102

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

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

105

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

I don’t know if you played the eagle on the dev server but back then it’s RWR MFD was just some green dots. I made a bug report and this is what we have now. I don’t see any problem with it

Gaijoob only wants flight manuals and authored works for the manuals. Thing is, the manual for the F-15’s weapon employment is classified :)

Do you guya think that we are going to get the F-15STOL/MTD?

117

Radar MFD not RWR :D

118

Let’s see if we get F-16XL since it got passed to devs, if it comes then yeah.

What’s wrong with it?

Not even secondary? It’s literally sponsored by the air Force after all
