ORIGINAL: NakedWeasel Hey Emsoy. Glad to see you're still working on your DB3K. You may not remember me, but you and I used to converse quite a bit back in H2's early days. Jay Gibbs? Meh... Anyway, I have noticed that there is no loadout of GBU-39/53(B) for any variant of the F-35 JSF. Additionally, the B-1B, and B-2 are also SDB carriers, and no SDB loadouts exist for those AC, either. OBTW, Sorry bout the thread highjack, but I didn't want to create another thread just for this one issue. A source for the concept comes from the official USAF website: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/104573/gbu-39b-small-diameter-bomb-weapon-system.aspx and, http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/raytheon-wins-usas-gbu-53-small-diameter-bomb-competition-06510/ Hi Jay, of course I remember, it's great to see you here [:D][:D] Have updated the database and added the SDB-II to the F-15E from 2018 onwards. It seems the SDB-I has only been integrated on the F-15E and Italian Tornadoes so far, and the next plane will be the F-35 SDB-II in 2020. The SDB-II may also be added to the F/A-18's weapon inventory after 2020. If you have more info on SDB integration work please let me know, but SDB-I production has been completed and I doubt the USAF will spend more money there. Guys?
