Pitch ratio is at it's max with the gear down. Most people that I see having issues are PIOing themselves because they are chasing the aircraft, they are not ahead of it.
This will happen if the active steer point altitude does not match the actual terrain level of the target. The radar uses the nav system for terrain elevation calculations. You went after a target that was at a higher elevation than your active steer point, hence the offset.
Was temp removed due to bugs with the jettison system (you can find reports of that in the forums), the ones we tried to prevent. Unfortunately, it still ended up in a few left-over missions where it shouldn't have been.
It could be. Going to depend on actual terrain elevation vs the active steerpoint at the time (radar uses SP alt to get terrain elevation info). The pod is a bit too smart at the moment, so it causes a bit of a mismatch. Would need to have more info on the situation.
Honestly still trying to track down the root cause. Nothing to offer at the current moment. I tried two different maps last night, and had to different behaviors with the symbology and release results.
You are not using T/O trim in your cold starts then. Hot starts has it input at default. You have to manually null trim after takeoff. This is accurate to the real aircraft. No bug.
