Mk13/18 LGB

[ChrisBV 30]

Hi, I'm looking for a British Mk13/18 1000lb Paveway II laser-guided bomb mod, does anybody know if such weapon is available for the Third Wire series of sims?

 

Thanks in advance

Wouldn't that be like the GBU-16?

[ChrisBV 30]

Yes, but shape is different (GBU-16 --> American Mk83 / Mk13/18 --> British 1000lb MC iron bomb).

Until someone comes up with an RAF GBU model (lod and skin), all we have at present are the US ones. Which is pretty much why all the Tornados and Jags have been carrying them.

 

Of course, if someone inspired 3d modeler 'drops some on us' (bomb pun!!) ... they'll be MORE than welcome!!

Why is the british 1000pounder shorter- less aerodynamic? To fit Tornado fuselage stations?

Hi,

 

The design of that series of British bombs is much older than the Tornado... doubt that's the reason. The Paveway kits came along much later...

Ahh okay, never seen one, and yeah I'm used to the US ones

[ChrisBV 30]

Is it possible...? Could it be...?

 

 

Found it on WombRaider's NEW WEAPONS PACK thread.

Thats the old Mk13/18 dumb bomb... even predates Bunap's UK Mk.xx series.

The UK 1000lb LGB with PW II kit is named CPU-123B or something like that.... we dont have one yet..

I use the French Matra 400 kg LGB model as a gap-filler ... just to have something different than the US LGBs.. hehe :ph34r:

AOCbravo2004, you're in the beta testing team, aren't you? Could you please post a screenie of it, if that's ok? Thanks!

Where is it? I just downloaded the pack and I can't find it...

It's in Bunyap's weapons pack. (GBU-123)

LOL never mind, I found it, sorry for the inconvenience. I have been looking for this weapon for a long time so I finally could strap a couple of those to my GR.3 for a little pinpoint strike:

 

 

Looks awesome and works like a charm, thanks!

[+Crusader 2,101]

cool.. forgot about that one ... :ph34r:

[ChrisBV 30]

How about a new skin for it...?

It would be injustice if you would not upload it.
