Kirk your comment about the JSOW being a pig, is that because it is an ugly
glider or a reference to its operation or performance as a weapon?

Title says it all. I'm playing a flight sim, Falcon4. Recently a new
version was out. In the previous version, F15E can carry up to 8 JSOWs
(AGM154a), however in the new version it can carry only 2 JSOWs. Which
is
correct? It is a big problem to me as an F15E fan.

Thanks in advance.


5 JSOWs max, one each on the left wing pylon, left conformal (center
inboard pylon), centerline pylon, right conformal (center inboard
pylon), and right pylon.

Same thing with JDAMs or WCMDs; only those 5 stations are wired up
with the 1760 bus necessary to drop the things.

When any of these are carried on a CFT, nothing else can be carried on
the rest of that CFT's pylons, BTW, and you can mix types of smart
weapons (so can carry 2 JDAMs (my favorite, JSOWs are a pain to use),
2 WCMDs (smart CBU!), and one JSOW (pig with wings).

Of course, that's a pretty heavy load - better have a tanker to go
along with you...
