New report

The MLU Tornado can be equipped with two EGBU24s. The bomb in question can be guided either with a laser or via GPS settings. As shown in the attached photos from Operation Odyssey Dawn/Operation Unified Protector, the italian Tornados were used in real missions with two EGBU24s. in the game they can be used as gps bombs without the laser pod since gps guided.

do we have any information on the a200c being able to carry any more ebgus or lizard bombs? looking at the original a200c suggestion I saw that it was capable of carrying more, didn’t know if this was just a sources issue or it was real

Lizard bomb is used on the tornado. I don’t know if a report have been made.

i made a new report

Do you have a larger resolution scan/photo of this? Even if it’s cropped for just showing the bombs
I wrote a ticket about the EGBU-24s models lacking some features for the Enhanced Paveway III guidance kit, like the side conduit wiring and those metal straps that appear to be visible in your image

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/UQsZ9qziEvpw

But photos of the actual EGBU-24s are quite hard to come by. I only have one showing the Enhanced Paveway III bomb with a Mk.84 warhead rather than BLU-109. So a better version of the book image showing the Mk.84 version, would be much appreciated

I took the photo from the book with my phone; I can try to take a better one tonight. I’ll send you a PM with the photo late this evening.

did they add the new boz?

No. Still no BOZ-EC or AIM-9M. Was still at 11.7 as well

No boz 🥲

Hopefully we get the BOZ EC at the very least, if not the additionally EBGU remodel and extra armament

BOZ-102-ECs should definetly be considered non-optional for the A200C and be one of the core upgrades over the A200A.

Whether or not it should get Aim-9Li though is a difficult question.

The model contains named placeholder meshes for the BOZ-EC already, but they are visually the same as the legacy BOZ at this time.
I’d say the only thing gaijin are waiting on, is for an accurate 3D model to be finished

great. I’m very satisfy. they are working on both suggestions that have been acepted.

@Smin1080p_WT Thank you for accepting the two suggestions. Is there a possibility to pass these additional suggestions regarding the EBGU24 and the Lizard to the developers as well? Thank you.

Both forwarded for consideration.

Currently these are not planned. As it would require a higher BR.
