      Hi,

      Anyone know where I can find user made TEs for training missions using the MITL (GBU15) and Harpoon in the Korean theater? I know ITO has the Delilah and GBU15 but I’m looking to practice using them in the Korean Theater F-16s as I don’t want to get into the IAF F-16 systems yet. Thanks.

      Regards

        GBU-15 and Delilah are currently only carried by IAF F-16 in BMS.

        SLAM-ER and AGM-62s are carried by Hornets in BMS as well, but AFAIK no training mission was done for them, might change in 3-4 weeks.

        I cannot remmember if an Haroppon mission is available, however, it should be all in the -34.

          Harpoon is WIP and foreseen for 4.34.
          I haven’t decided if we’ll doGBU-15 & Delilah for Korea as the weapon is not valid for the theater.
          Same question for the Slam-Er and AGM-62 as they are not F-16.

          Priority will be AA training missions and F-16 weapons system for 4.34.

            Oh… what about the Harpoon and GBU15 training missions on YouTube by Tim “Stretch” Morgan for BMS 4.33? They looked like they were done in Korea theater. Just wondering where he got them from.

              Same question for the Slam-Er … as they are not F-16.

              Priority will be … F-16 weapons system for 4.34.

              @RD JFYI,

              AGM-84A/D Harpoon is available on the HAF PXIII (Block 52) & IV (Block 52M) avionics tapes, so they can be loaded and launched from these 2 model variants in software planning and SMS. The missiles however where never purchased by HAF, but in theory (just repeating some officials; words, I have no clue about this) if absolute necessary, they can use the missiles Hellenic Navy owns… We in Ikaros will have Harpoon (both active and captive) model available in these models loadouts.

              Apart from documentation, below shot is from the last-bird-to-be-delivered Block 50 of PXII, that remained in USA (Edwards AFB) to be used for avionics modifications found in the next HAF order of PXIII. Then is still remained there to support the same process for PXIV avionics. As you can see Harpoon is loaded and tested to be officially documented.

              Also JFYI, this bird, which is basically an “external” Block 50 PXII -base, is now delivered to HAF and added to 335sq roster, with same avionics and enhancements as PXIV birds. Only the engine remains the old one and the serial, unique to HAF to ID this platform. Recent pic below.

              Also, Harpoon is available by Taiwan AF (which uses 60 missiles in their Viper birds) as and ROKAF, that except available on their F-15K’s is also believed that have been certified for their Vipers.

              http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article3025.html

              The AGM-84H SLAM-ER is operationally used by TUAF, also using the AN/AWW-13 datalink pod (same externally with -9 / -11). You can see below the first pic is from testing phase, the second one is operational with the DL pod in CL.

              Finally, the AGM-84H is available to South Korean to their F-15K’s as and according to various sources soon to their updated Vipers.

              Hope to help a bit in case some of these where not already known to the dev team.

                Harpoon is valid in KTO indeed as we now have both the ROKAF F-16 and RSAF F-16 that can carry it.
                looks like with that info Slam-Er becomes a valid training mission scenario as well 🙂
                Unfortunately, the ROKAF F-16 can’t carry it in the current dbase

                  Harpoon works quite well for me. I fired multiple of them in verious configurations and they worked. Only problem is ON/OFF option on SMS that resets to OFF as soon as i change to another weapon on SMS page.
                  And can you tell a little more about planned weapon system related features?

                    You have to add them to the hardpoints for the F-16 you want it on in the editor. Then just create a new TE with whatever targets you want.
