Boeing P-8X Poseidon Upgrade

50.3k Stingray  5.4 years ago

The Boeing P-8 Poseidon is a multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft, a militarized version of the Boeing jetliner series. The P-8 is operated by Australia, India, New Zealand, Norway, the UK, and the United States. This experimental P-8X Upgrade is a re-host of the Boeing 737 body with the 767 body. Larger body allows maximum internal weapons storage, and lower exterior drag. Target engagements are effective between 300 to 1,000 mph. Slightly enhanced engines allow 1,550 mph cruise at 41,000 feet between attack runs. Note: underwing thrust will always pitch the nose up; the trim and std flight controls will adjust as needed.

7 long-range AGM-84 Harpoons (supersonic cleavers), use missile icon to release. Auto lock-on at 10 miles; will even strike targets that are behind the aircraft’s flight path.

24 AGM-114B Hellfire short-range missiles (infernos). Use Ag= 5, 6, 7 for optimal group release.

Guns=guns. Courtesty of @SledDriver.

Mission of P-8X Upgrade: patrols maritime areas and eliminates all sea and land target threats to Jundroo peace. Especially those nasty Snowstone missiles. These Upgrade missiles are faster with a longer range than the Snowstone battery, Enjoy.

    @Stingray Yeah, the velocity of the aircraft is added to the bullet velocity. Try shooting when flying sideways and it'll become clear.

    Wow, will try them tomorrow. (These guns hit slow if the air vehicle is subsonic, yet seem to increase in range and impact speed at higher attack speeds.) @SledDriver

    FYI, there are upgraded versions of the plasma shotguns available here. They have a wider spread with more "pellets," and they're quiet as well.
