Really? It’s a pretty similar process to what happens in an engine, just uncontained and much bigger.
Makes sense.
Weaponized though
It’s been a while and it seems there’s still no suggestion post for this machine.
What’s up with that?
Idk; I’ve tried to make a detailed one, formatted off of another post, and can’t seem to get it approved.
That’s weird. If you PM a Tech mod they should be able to help you.
Got it, this post is actually the exact same as the suggestion I made, so…
Also, to clarity myself, when I said “ahead of its time” I meant as in; it’s an uncontained, non-mechanical open air combustion system.
Imo it’s impressive but not quite enough to qualify as ahead of its time
That would be OV-1A
IIRC, armed variant named “JOV-1A”
You should a suggestion about this amaizong vehicle
Yeah, the APKSW would be a cool addition to a bunch of vehicles in game.
the CBU-55 is a FAE cluster that was used to clear landing zones for helicopters
it had 3 clusters in it and its said that each cluster has the explosive power of a 500lbs GP bomb
so 1 CBU-55 has the same firepower as a stack of 3x 500lbs bombs being released.
it has no CCIP
it uses a basic gun sight without any ballistic compputer
there is one on the old forum
I have sources that say, completely otherwise…
But present yours I guess.

The sources I have listed is in the post…
Not only that, this is the last model, the OV-10D+, which had the ability to use laser guided APKWS (As of operation desert storm), if it can use laser guided munitions, it would be a literal joke it didn’t have CCIP.
the OV-10D still uses the same gunsight that the OV-10A uses, its all manually adjusted with manual depression of the gunsight according to weapon release charts:
the charts look like this:
EDIT:
also Id like to note that no, OV-10D+ is not cleared for APKWS
you would need the OV-10G+ for that
