that’s because they’re not pods, they’re the real missile, those above wing hardpoints are for a2a missiles

Can it carry 3 LGBs along with the Targeting Pod like the Jaguar IS? Itd be pretty cool if it could.

32

iirc no British jaguar could carry 3 GBUs + a Targeting pod, as the IS in game was specially modified to carry a LITENING pod in place of a cannon

Oof. So it could only carry 2 LGBs 😭😭. If it can double rack GBU-12s it would be kinda worth it… but i doubt it could. Tbh the gr3a should be foldered with the gr1a in game.

34

depends on its loadouts, it gets HMD, ASRAAM and some other nifty upgrades, which could put it at rank 8 plus, it could also be used as a test for ASRAAM since it only gets two on a mediocre airframe

if its without ASRAAM then yeah, its just gonna fill the role an actual GR.1A should fill but with HMD

If using pod on the wing you can use GBU-24 on fuselage

36

But its still sadly 2 LGBs only… if it could carry like 4 GBU-12s into battle itd be decent.

37

I think the main advantages will be the upgraded AAMs (probably Aim-9L), the HMS, Digital RWR and the better airframe/engines.

What I fear the most about it is the GRB BR being a tad on the stupid side and there still being 0 reason to ever take it over the Tonardo GR1 other than the fun of it

But will be great fun for other gamemodes like ASB

Would also get aj168 which are extremely potent even on bad airframe like buccaneer

Probably one of the few British top tier aircraft left to be added.

wish this stayed in service long enough to be fitted with brimstones, would’ve made it even more lethal

with brimstones would of been a real nice upgrade to its kit, probably allowing it to serve for a few extra years

I mean anything with Litening should be able to drop both LGBUs on two different targets simultaneously, Rafael claim this themselves

43

What is their source?

“The pod incorporates all targeting features required by a modern strike fighter. LITENING’s high-resolution sensors improve target identification, enhance recognition range and image quality, and consequently help avoid collateral damage. The pod offers multiple-target tracking, including stationary and dynamic as well as ground and aerial targets.“
