+guuruu Posted November 9, 2018 Author Posted November 9, 2018 Very stupid way to check weapon stations ;-) 7 Quote
logan4 Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 I'm not an Alarm expert, but shouldn't they fly off forward that siderail like the Sidewinders? Dropping down straight would likely collide with the tanks I think.. 1 Quote
+guuruu Posted November 10, 2018 Author Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) It is very good question ;-) I'm looking for this information, but in Gulf they used them only under fuselage, so it can be some problem. I've just added these underwings stations and testing . I'm not so sure if they are so close of tank, but can't find reaaly good photos. I'll appreciate every help.

logan4 Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 From under fuselage dropdown start shouldn't be a problem or if it is placed on a rail on the place of the fueltank, but from the side rail must go forward otherwise would not clear the tank. seems to be quite close from this angle unfortunately the net is not full with this small detail and most videos lack this aspect, you can see brimstones fly off in quick intervals or winders, etc but not this thingy.. 1 Quote

In some cases the Big Jugs are carried under, a missile with drop-down start with hit those tanks no doubt. EDIT: *will hit those tanks no doubt. Meanwhile, there's a site called Air Power Australia by Dr. Kopp, the articles there are peer-reviewed so it's reliable source a page about the ALARM: http://www.ausairpower.net/alarm-armat.html And this is to guuruu: I will find as much as I could on that ALARM for you Edited November 11, 2018 by Durasoul 1 Quote
Durasoul Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Photo: Corporal Mike Jones/MOD Note that the rear Brimstone launcher is slightly angled down to make clearance either for the ordnance at the front/LITENING pod as shown. these are some of the many details on the Tonkas alone. That said, we could improve them step by step. Mods by definition are the improvement made by the modders in our community. 1 1 Quote
