After updating CMO V1.04 Build 1147.45, I'm having a lot of fun playing. While playing Blue Dawn, I noticed a problem with the loadout of the F-16CJ Blk 52 Falcon [KF-16]. The F-16 has 11 hard points, 2 of which are Pod mounts

But the AGM-65G2 Loadout consists of
AGM-65 X 2
AIM-120 X 2 (optional)
AIM-9 X 2
AN/AAQ-13 LANTIRN Pod X 1
AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN Pod X 1
Condor 2 Recce Pod X 1
K/ALQ-200K DECM Pod
300 USG Drop Tank X 1
370 USG Drop Tank X 2
The total number of armaments and pods exceeds 11 hard points. Also ROKAF deploy Condor 2 Recce Pod on RKF-16 for reconnaissance missions. But in CMO, KF-16's air-to-air load-out is also installed. As it is a simulation, I hope you can modify it to be more realistic.

Hi

DB requests are done here:

I added your issue to this list.

Thanks!

Would you have some links to some photos of the various loadouts? There are tons of single pod photos but not too many with full payloads.

Thanks!

Mike

From the book "Modern Air-Launched Weapons" that I got off of Amazon, the AGM-65 loadout doesn't have a recon pod. In fact, I don't think it physically can be on that load out based on how massive it is and it completely takes up any centerline capability. And agree with the comment about the recon missions only having the pod and light AA loadout.

The db change should be to remove the recon pod from the loadout.

Thanks. My request was to remove the pod but the DB person asked to provide photos and sources. I don't think they were looking to remove the recon loadout but check the others as well. I'm ok with that- sometimes it is just better to follow up and do the things they ask so they're more willing to do what you need in the future.

This is a picture of the RKF-16 of Republic of Korea Air Force equipped with Condor II Pod.

Only RKF-16 is equipped with Recon Pod, and KF-16s are equipped with LANTIRN Pod or Sniper Pod.

It's a Korean news story. I translated some parts into English.

The RF-16 'Saemae' reconnaissance aircraft are operated by the 159th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron under the 19th Fighter Wing. The 159th Squadron was originally a combat squadron operating KF-16 fighter jets, but the KF-16s were converted to RF-16s and operated as tactical reconnaissance squadrons.

The 159th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron has a single-seat RF-16C and a double-seat RF-16D.

The RF-16 reconnaissance aircraft will perform video reconnaissance missions by choosing between the Condor-2 EO/IR image reconnaissance pod manufactured by Elbit Systems (ELOP) and the domestic TAC-EO/IR image reconnaissance pod.

It is equipped with ARD-300K reconnaissance pod, a domestic ELINT pod, and performs electronic surveillance missions to operate as a kind of electronic warfare aircraft
