Enabled autoloader for Centauro II?

At last, some good news for a ground top tier vehicle!

Its something. Heard that it should be way faster but its whatev. Not the first vehicle to be artificially nerfed in terms of autoloader reload rate

R.I.P sWaTrgInf, No changes in 31

I don’t understand why they nerf it so that it’s 12.0….

Italy has no other vehicles and no lineup at all at 12.0. What is the point of it at 12.0, to uptier the 11.7 lineup for a single 12.0?

Centauro II would be a significantly more interesting addition as a 12.3-12.7, both BRs where it would actually have a lineup, if that meant it could have a 3-4 second reload instead.

So why is there an unlisted BR increase for the F-15J(m) while the near identical F-15C & Baz(i) are staying at 13.7? The AAM-3s and a tiny weight decrease don’t seem like enough to justify it being the same BR as the F-15E/Is or am I missing something?
Oh, but it stays the same BR as the F-15C/BAZ(i)/E/I in GRB despite having ZERO guided air to ground weapons of course!
Edit: seems it was either reverted or my game was bugged and showing it’s AAB rating in ARB

the challenger stays the same (absolute pain)

You and I know both know AAM-3/4 > AIM-120 and AIM-9M lol

Still 5 s meh

AAM-4s are a fairly minor improvement over AIM-120As and the AAM-3 while better than the 9M are not a major factor at the BR (and apparently not better enough to put the J and A at different BRs), maybe with decompression I could see it sitting between the C and Es, or if they un nerfed the AAMs it would defiantly need to go up.

@Smin1080p_WT hi,there is a report issue about the sound of autoloader, but no one reporting manager happen this,please report it thanks.autoloader sound issue

@Smin1080p_WT Hello, considering it’s the last day of the DEV server could the report on the correct implementation of the PIDS pylon be nuged? At least it could be implemented in the final update.
A bug report was created providing sources that it can in fact carry both AAMs and AGMs on the PIDS pylon.
Link to the report: [DEV]PIDSU and PIDS+ pylons missing the ability to use missiles.

I am not too well versed when it comes to US pylons and their compatability so I am basing my opinion purely on what Gunjob has stated in other threads.

As far as I understand, yes the PIDS+ and PIDSU are compatible with smart munitions like the AMRAAM due to having the necessary data bus, coolant/fuel lines and electrics BUT the pylons themselves are unable to carry those ammunitions.

Other pylons must be used like you said the LAU128SE but this rail cannot be or at least has not been seen attached to a PIDS+ due to missing the necessary adapter.

Please correct me if I say sth wrong.

concerning the image you sent. What falls under 30’’ bomb racks?

There is a picture of a belgian (iirc) F-16 carrying an AGM-65 under the PIDS pod.

So if they want to make PIDS not completely worthless outside of air sim they should at least allow that.

The PIDS would remain beyond worthless in air RB, but it would at least be not completely worthless in ground RB.

Completely agree with that, the Maverick should be available on the PIDS+.

Sad thing is that this only encompasses the LAU-117, which as far as i know is unable to use anything else but the maverick

No, the reason why is that regular A2A missile rails don’t fit directly on the MAU-12 (2000lb class NATO 14/30" ) bomb rack, The -128SE Is specifically designed for this purpose. And so could be directly mounted without an adapter at all. as preparation for the Development of the universal MML (TER-9A/A + STD-1760 for light stores and A2A missiles; I would assume this clears the way for AMRAAM + APKWS pods on the one weapons station (as a High / Low mix, for C-UAS duties), An image with the TER-9A/A standing in is show below).

It’s that the adapters needed to convert from NATO 14/30" to the missile aren’t cleared for subsequent fitting, the -128SE accounts for this.

Yes, but photos aren’t necessary, as all that should be needed is proof of technical capability to be mounted as such which this slide provides, and as the LAU-128SE has ~ 90% commonality with the regular LAU-128A/A it practically exists, and as detailed is possible.

Technically, anything certified as MIL-STD-8591 compliant, which includes the MAU-12.
