Hey Guys Spudknocker here! Today we are going to be taking a look at Electro-Optical Guided Weapons in the new DCS F-4E Phantom II.
Electro-Optically Guided Weapons were first pioneered during the Second World War by American and Nazi Scientists and came of age in the late 1950’s with the invention of the AGM-62 Walleye by US Navy Scientists and contractors at the China Lake Range Complex in Southern California.
The US Navy’s Electro-Optically Guided Weapons research was pursued in Parallel to the mostly USAF headed Paveway Laser Guided Bomb Program. While both LGB’s and EO guided weapons were used extensively over North Vietnam by both services. The Navy’s favoring of Walleye allowed US Navy pilots to hit targets in the always marginal weather conditions of North Vietnam, that precluded the use of the Paveways and BOLT-117’s favored by the USAF.
The Heatblur Rendition of the F-4E Phantom II is capable of employing both the US Navy’s AGM-62 Walleye I and II as well the USAF Developed GBU-8 HOBOS or Homing Bomb System.
Even though the Walleye my not be your first choice in the modern F/A-18C, while flying the F-4E an EO Guided Weapon’s All Weather and Fire-and-Forget capability compare very favorably to the Finicky and Crew Workload intensive Pavespike Targeting Pod and Paveway Series of LGB’s.
I hope this video helps you guys out when it comes to employing the AGM-62 Walleye and the GBU-8 HOBOS in the new DCS F-4E Phantom II!
