Random Fun fact: the Reason JDAM's on US Naval aircraft (F-14B and the Later AV-8's in game) are "White" is Because they have some sort of special frost coating that Keeps them safe incase of a fire so They don't blow up and start a massive chain reaction.

[@Ryan-go6id]

the more you know

[@FirstDagger]

Gray not white. Also the color isn't tied to the coating IRL, there were green bombs with the thermally protective coating

[@tyruido1175]

Sounds like something they learned from the USS Forestall tragedy. I remember watching a documentary about when I was like 6 years old.

[@janusz4156]

40 years of AV-8B in 2021. Ace Combat fans missed him.

Yea..i love the A.C A.H because have the harrier

[@jetnavigator]

Hunter, the new heli damage model is broken. All helis other than KAs and Apaches have a single control module. A single MG shot can damage it, resulting in the loss of flares, chaff, thermals, gunner sight and all weapons.

[@mich421]

Yes in my opinion they made a mistake in adding those modules, there were other solutions

[@eesmaaura4961]

Going from heli absorbing Sabot to have your entire electronic malfunctioned by grazing the ground in just single update.

[@salieri_sg9413]

@@mich421 Not quite. The helis that got a remodel work fine. HOWEVER, the ones that didn't are in trouble, since the game still thinks those modules are there (they are, in fact, absent) and if the heli recieves ANY damage the game freaks out and disables every module that it thinks is "missing"

[@mich421]

@@salieri_sg9413 Well as usual they don't test things before adding

[@Hunter_i86]

They are getting a lot of complains about it, they should tweak it and make it better.

[@MrHighsider]

Yesterday me played 11.3 Germany in Air Sim. My options was Event Tornado or F4F [both got dump bombs and a base gave 300 points (wtf)] While someone used that AV88 to slaughter the AF AA and got 8500 points.

[@ActuallyNotIlmatar]

Very nice that they fixed its thrust vectoring bugging out. JDAMs have been surprisingly decent. I expected them to do less, but spaa players love being static and clueless.

[@Colonel_Maple]

Been trying this tactic for a while, try flying the F15C with JDAMs for CAS while using a singular GBU-8 as a targeting pod :D

[@MrUsernameisinvalid]

F111F CAS Gameplay when?

[@carltonbcf2509]

I'm pretty sure he's probably cooking up a video for it. The F111F is pretty good 👍.

[@MrUsernameisinvalid]

Sure hope so, I’m spading it atm and i need someone who can help me figure out what loadout i wanna bring

[@salieri_sg9413]

@@MrUsernameisinvalid Preferential really. The new IR GBU15 is gut, Mavs are still great, And you can bring those with the gun.

[@MrUsernameisinvalid]

What do you bring in the inner pylons if you’re using a gun? And isnt the mavericks built-in seeker pretty shit?

[@Wotplaya4]

​@@MrUsernameisinvalid If you really do not want to lose the gun, a "trick" with the crappy IR sight on the AGM-65D/G (and GBU-15(V)2/B, same sight) is to aim at potentional target spots (spawn region, marked targets) and click the lock button to activate the seeker, then wiggle around the seeker and it may automatically lock onto something. IF it looks like it locked onto a very bright spot, it's most likely a dead vehicle so unlock it and try again, if it's something somewhat faint it's probably a live target. This way you can still use the maximum range of these seekers without a pod. OR, use the daylight sight (black/white screen) and buy a 4K monitor (merely a small monetary investment...) or something to mitigate the bad zoom levels (like effectively playing on a 4K monitor makes your zoom 4x as good over 1080p, improving the max 5x zoom of the IR seeker to 20x, a usuable number). I do 100% recommend you to still take the TGP over the gun though, it just makes a world of difference in targeting. You won't be dogfighting too often anyway. Instead if you want to have some self defense or pre-emptive strike ability, either lose 1 of the outer pylons for 2 9Ls or take AGM-65Gs instead, which can be combined with the shoulder pylons for 2 9Ls, one on each side. You can do similar with the laser guided bombs, but I do not recommend using them over the IR guided stuff for obvious reasons.

Dayum JDAM's be slaping holy Lov the vids Hunter

[@Hunter_i86]

Thanks :)

[@lammejonas8197]

last one was clean asf

[@PhantomVirus10]

Now correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it be more efficient and easier to just take like a couple 1000lbs bombs and use the targeting pod to look and just drop from without having to wait for a specific target to be sitting still. I like the idea of the new bombs but it seems to be only good for maybe 2 scenarios.

[@Hunter_i86]

What do you mean by "couple 1000lbs bombs", unguided bombs you mean or laser guided bombs? Because JDAM is an upgraded unguided bomb (Guided to a static point on the ground with maximum precision), you can dive bomb multiple targets precisely, and you can toss multiple bombs better than CCRP bombing with unguided bombs, more precise and also earlier release moment because JDAM gliding is amazing. I can't find a real reason to take an unguided bomb over JDAM. If you mean laser guided bombs that's totally another story, because JDAM is under the category of fire and forget weapons, while laser GBUs are not.

[@blaken3824]

isn't that what he did here: 10:20 ?

[@PhantomVirus10]

@@Hunter_i86 yeah I had meant to add dumb bomb in the comment but I guess I forgot, but I feel like trying to precisely find targets for JDAM's leaves you out in the open for too long idk if it's just that I'm used to GBU's & AGM's or if i can't get anything done with pantsirs around. I guess it's just that I'm not used to it and don't find it useful 🤷‍♂️ (P.s love the videos keep it up)

[@bone8696]

Super Video Hunter! Anybody know why the tornado does not get the jdams?

[@Hunter_i86]

I heard the current variants of Tornados have no JDAMs, not sure though. Thanks a lot :)

[@LucentMoonlight]

LET'S GO!

[@8749236]

It's so hard to find a SPAA that doesn't move. Especially at night against Chinese players.

[@Hunter_i86]

Play at morning then LoL

[@Wizard-dq8qb]

i've noticed in this update that the fire from destroyed vehicles doens't render until you get close enough, its kinda annoying when you're doing cas, anyways great video as usual hunter :D

[@Hunter_i86]

I think they are fixed by now, thanks a lot :)

[@shaunkelly9053]

Funny how that maverick that had a target lock didn’t actually hit the target. Still killed it but still.

When A-10C in SGB battle?

[@Hunter_i86]

Trying but the situation is not good, Fox 3 spam is silly in top tier sim ground battles. Also my TGPs are not locking, and Maverick sometimes track and sometimes it doesn't today. I might do the "check file" thing and try again.

[@hawkiii8930]

Hi Hunter like always nice video and can you tell me how to kill pansir easily in a fighter jet? Have a nice day :)

[@Hunter_i86]

Hello, there is no "easily" against Pantsir S1. The best method as I experienced is terrain masking and surprising attacks with multiple Mavericks or fire and forget bombs like TV or JDAM. Also bombs can be shot down with missiles now, so you might want to know that as well. Thanks :)

[@danielwang6201]

From my experience, the cheapest and easiest is to spawn AV-8B or F-14B, stay low, terrian masking, pop up at 5 miles and release the JDAMs in a spread pattern around the SPAAs, make sure to turn on counter measures, then turn away and dive down behind terrian

[@bone8696]

Is the Av8b na worth it? Over the av8b plus?

[@Hunter_i86]

Sure! 11.3BR in Ground RB with same Air-To-Ground weapons.

[@blaken3824]

This should cost like 2000 SP to bring out

You know nothing then lol, these bombs are a little bit better than unguided bombs, they don't track vehicles.

Im confused do jdams track the target? i dropped them from 25,000ft and they missed all the targets.

[@mcyounglordlauch7012]

Nope, they track the point which you looked at whilst dropping via gps. They have no optical / radar sensors to be corrected via laser / radar designator inflight or by tracking a target through emissions

[@Finngolian]

@@mcyounglordlauch7012 Also they have a guidance time limit. so you can't exactly Toss a JDAM
