In a future DCS World update, we’ll be adding initial implementation of the AGM-65 Maverick tactical air-to-surface missile for our F-16. The Maverick provides standoff ranges between 6 and 8 miles and is ideal for attacking short-range air defense systems and armor.
Our F-16 can be loaded with four versions of the Maverick, the AGM-65D and G imaging infrared and the AGM-65H and K that are electro-optically guided. Whereas the D and H have 126-pound warheads, the G and K have larger 300-pound warheads. The larger warhead versions are better suited to ships, bunkers, and larger structures.
Additionally, the D and G infrared versions allow automatic target handoff from the targeting pod.
A bit later we’ll add Maverick seeker bore sighting, dual targeting, and some changes to the HOTAS. For now though, this will allow you to start employing this weapon and raining Mavericks on foreheads.
