The Wipeout by default comes with 6 Macer, 4 GBU-12, 7 Shrieker AP, 7 Shrieker HE, and 1000 rounds of 30mm. When it comes to the Black Wasp vs Wipeout when it comes to performing CAS: The default Black Wasp comes with 4 Macer and 2 GBU-12 (main gun is 450 rounds of 20mm). Changing the IR or AMRAAM D lock-on wouldn't actually make it superior to either one in the scope of their implementation) (If my reply is to TL:DR for anyone: Black Wasp doesn't have the same firepower as the Wipeout and the Black Wasp and Shikra have different schools of implementation and advantages in weapon systems. How would you guys adjust the Black Wasp II or improve it? If you were to match the missiles to the max radar lock distance, that would give the Black Wasp II a minimum buffer of 2km for it's attack range before being threatened by hostile air assets. For a Black Wasp II pilot, you're trying to make a shot well within the striking distance of a Shikra to launch a missile. The Shikra's max radar lock distance is 13km, with the R77 Adder's max lock distance being 12km (which also makes no sense) all the Shikra has to do is close a distance of 1km in order to make their attack (which isn't hard at all since it's max speed is close to 1,500 km/h). Unfortunately that radar range might as well be 13km since the AMRAAM D's max lock distance is 13km. From the radar sensor it can pick up and lock targets out to 15km away (second furthest radar range compared to the AN/MPQ-105 and R-750 Cronus at 16km away). The F/A-181 Black Wasp II is supposedly supposed to be superior at Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air-to-air combat. From a realistic point of view, it makes no sense for a 5th gen fighter jet to have inferior sensors to something like a CAS jet. Because of this the Black Wasp II can't perform SEAD or CAS nearly as well as every other jet in the game. I don't know why BI decided to make the Black Wasp II's IR lock distance exceptionally weak. *The A-149 Gryphon and A-143 Buzzard both have an IR lock distance of 4km *The To-201 Shikra and To-199 Neophron both have an IR lock distance of 5km *The A-164 Wipeout has an IR lock distance of 5km This is half the distance of all fixed-wing aircraft in the game. With that being said: for me there are some features of this jet and one of it's weapon systems that make absolutely no sense from both a gameplay perspective and a realistic perspective.Īccording to the sensors, the F/A-181 Black Wasp II has a max IR lock distance of 2.5km. I love the F/A-181 Black Wasp II and think it's a very powerful NATO asset.
