"SFW"

Pardon me if this was already asked for or requested before, but will the American faction have the SFW or Sensor Fused Weapon? I think it would be a great General Power to knock out vehicles in a given vicinity. For a more detailed source of info:



"The CBU-97/B Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW) is a 1,000 pound class, unpowered, air-delivered, wide area cluster munition designed to provide multiple kills per pass against armored and support vehicles. The system has been certified on the A-10, B-1, B-2, B-52, F-15, and F-16 and is designed to be compatible with various USN/USMC and NATO aircraft. The weapon has the capability of being delivered in adverse weather conditions, day or night, at various altitudes and airspeeds. SFW consists of a SUU-66/B Tactical Munitions Dispenser (TMD), which houses ten BLU-108/B submunitions. Each submunition contains four projectiles, an orientation and stabilization system, a radar altimeter, and a rocket motor. After spin-up and release from the submunitions, the projectiles scan the area under their flight path with a two-color passive infrared sensor, while a signal processing logic classifies and filters out false targets. Upon detecting a valid target, an electronic pulse detonates an explosive charge, driving an explosively formed penetrator (EFP), an aero-dynamically stable slug, into the target. The SFW will be stored and transported as an all-up-round in the CNU-411A/E container. For typical tactical sorties, a combat load consists of four to six CBU-97/Bs. The SFW can be delivered at low or high altitudes (200 feet above ground level (AGL) to 40,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) (with Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD) tail kit)) and at low through supersonic speeds (250-650 knots). The SFW program is closely related to the WCMD and Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) Programs. Retrofit of SFW with WCMD tail kits began in April 2001. All SFWs will be retrofitted with the WCMD tail kit and will become CBU-105s. The SFW BLU-108 submunition will be a payload in the JSOW AGM-154B. "

Also, I wanted to ask along with this question, would the B2 actually be stealth?

Hello La Ravenn! And Welcome To The Forums! And Thank You For Registering

Course We'll Include Them... Btw You May Not Know That Much About What TAoW Is Or How The System Works
In Case You Need To Know, The Normal Zero Hour Base Building Is Completely Removed, The Only Thing The Player Can Build In TAoW Is Fortifications... TAoW Is Ultimate Realism!!!

Other Than That, The Funds That Are Known To Be As US Dollars ($) , Will Be Replaced By RP (Reinforcement Points)
Which Can be Acquired Several Ways, Example:
_Completing Secondary Objectives
_Capturing And Holding Tactical Locations
_And Several Other Ways

And I'm 100% Sure That You Will Like Our Naval Mode , Which Will Bring Naval Warfare To The Max!
We Will Also Have Several Other Modes...

No Prob

Hehe I think this would be AWESOME ingame. It would take a nice chunk of coding to pull off [I used to code big time]. But it would be awesome... especially in the objective based scenarios this mod strives to achieve. I honestly cant wait to try this mod... sooooo pumped

Cheers La Ravenn!, welcome on board

Indeed, just like James mentioned we'll eventually include Sensor Fused Weapons on certain aircraft.
Some examples include certain versions of the F-15E and one variant of the A-10C.

Speaking of various aircraft variants, we will use a unique "Class System" so higher class units can have different weapon loads or specific upgrades, please check this topic for extra info. The class system will be adopted to be included for most unit classes (infantry, vehicles, aircraft, etc.) so expect highly customizable forces in The Art of War

welcome bro

TAOW is all about realistic warfare in the near future, so a lot of "Future Weapons" will be included (the ones from discovery channels' series : "Future Weapons"), like i allready asked in a couple of my previous posts

greetz and once again welcome !

So I wouldn't be suprised if I saw The Active Denial System (ADS) in the mod lol
