FerretFangs 0 Posted July 1, 2004 I think it was mentioned before, but typically the Sidewinders are carried in pairs on one pylon, usually outboard. The jammer pod is opposite. And there is a centerline station as well, BTW. But this is typically loaded out with a large drop tank for ferrying. For realism purposes, it's empty in combat. It's definately a "wet" station, to be loaded with aux. fuel tanks. But,Im unsure as to whether it can be loaded with weapons. I think it can. Global security. org states three underfuselage weapon stations, indicating the centerline station as well. For giggles, you could place the jammer, here, another Maverick, or perhaps a Mk82, or FFAR pod. The FFAR makes the most sense. The A-10 is a capable dumb-bomb truck, but using Snakeyes and Slicks in a high threat battlefield with AA and MANPADS is very dangerous for Warthogs. This is work typically done by fast movers, like the F-16. In recent combat they would ususally be loaded out with cluster munitions, in keeping with the CAS mission. These days, it's most often the CBU-87B. Anyway, I'm just trying to help. And I've seen many of these things close up. I used to live on an A-10 base, at that time the home of the 23rd Fighter Group/74th Fighter Squadron, AKA the Flying Tigers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey Lib Front 10 Posted July 1, 2004 Yea i used to have a .jpeg of the different loadouts on the pylons that would have proved usefull in this situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oyman 0 Posted July 1, 2004 i think im gona move the sidewinders on 1 pod and ill put that thingamabob on too. kinda like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FerretFangs 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Yep, that's how it should look. Now about those LGB's.... Could you make one load out with CBU's instead? The F/A-18 pack has some good ones, as does Footmunch's F-15E and F-16 pack. Very effective, fun, and realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FerretFangs 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Oh, and BTW, I've got a great .WAV of the GAU-12 firing. Nice and LOUD. Sounds like a cross between a giant two stroke engine, and a god farting. Good stuff. I remeber when I was a kid you could hear it from miles away when they were chewing up targets on the range. BuuuRRRRAAAAAHHHHP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy Boyington 0 Posted July 1, 2004 you know i suggested this before and i dont know if its feezable but look into that whole Mcar deal and see if there isnt a way we can finnaly cross weapon loadouts. like have bombs and missels. have sidewinders, mavericks, and some LGBs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FerretFangs 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Better look at footmunch's planes then. 'Cause he does it with his Strike Eagle and it works very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scfan42 0 Posted July 2, 2004 And Hawk's Ka-50 Hokum, it has interchangable weapons. Looking nice there oyman About cluster bombs... it'd be nice to have them, but for them to work properly you'd have to fly at a decent altitude, probably at least 150m, and how many of us would fly an A-10 that high I think OFP needs better simulation for somehow flying a plane up at a few thousand feet or higher since that's how high most of em fly.
