Well there is also hole’s in the developer’s implementation
e.g. Tornado IDS MFG’s AS.34 Kormoran anti-ship missile being able to track air targets and tank’s at a close range (despite not being able to do this IRL)
and the penguin anti ship missile being able to track tanks
GCS-1 should also be given a benefit of the doubt and get the same treatment
also please refer to the graph I sent before
i think you are unfairly attacked? by what you are saying for GCS-1 seeker. which retelling what the developer stance on it.
but i do think that they are doing double standard for AGM-119 (Penguin), which somehow managed to be able lock ground target while bug report said it can only lock onto ships here Bug Report.
while the GCS-1 is using similar seeker, somehow is not able to do the same is kinda hypocritical to me.
Does such a source exist for the recently added Penguin ASM?
Yeah unless there’s a source that clearly states the Penguin can track tanks, then this is some double standard BS, because you can’t say “Uhhhhhh IR munitions designed to attack ships can’t attack tanks because of how IR reflects off the sea differently and the seekerhead is optimized to take that into account” and then go and add an IR munition specifically designed to attack ships while still not adding other ones designed to attack ships. You either add all of them or none of them, don’t tug us around with this double standard crap.
It on top of GCS-1 750lb and 500lb, is lacking its AIM-9L compatibility and External Fuel tanks
(corrected ty skultew!)
Well… not KG but lb…
If it had 12 500kg bombs this plane would be really powerful
if i recall it could only carry GCS-1 on the wing’s which makes 4 750lb’s and 8 500lb’s, I think due to it being too large to fit 4 in the centre pylon on the F-1’s belly
Maybe I a little don’t understand you bit F-1 can take only 5 750lb or 10 500lb GCS-1
4 500lb can’t be used because it is too long
x4 (on a single pylon) can be used because of a double rack system for the 500lb, however the 750lb only 4 can be fitted
as shown in the images below
?
GCS-1 can be used only with 2 bombs at this number because too long
5th can be used with 5th under fuselage
They can only carry 2 GCS-1 per pylon, because the seekers of the rear GCS-1 are too long to fit the two in front of them.
It’s the same reason why the MER that can usually carry 6 500lb bombs on the F-4 only carry 3 GCS-1 bombs
I see
