I was playing this mission 12 times. JDAMS are inaccurate in this. Both if i align fully and align just JDAMS before AO, or after take off, including Inflight alignment, LGB's are pinpoint.
First i played this mission 3 times and wondering what i did wrong since JDAM's were in 30 meter spread mode, tested most alignments. I knew the cruise flight to AO was long so i wanted to be sure JDAMs are aligned properly with accurate data fixed for drift. (even though it isn't needed as JDAM's/TGP take data from TERCOM for elevation guidance.)
Of course i targeted with TGP. One pass ripple 2, second 2 passes with one. All in 30 mode spread however (As if there was a GPS jamming), no matter how deep in zone cue. I practiced it 12 separate times to be sure. Checked INS/GPS to be sure i get accurate data from GPS. Check drop parameters, speed , alignment, drop position.
Then after a mission where i managed to have one bomb available after checkpoint there was another problem (no building marked with green smoke, just green smoke/misplaced).
I loaded several other scenarios and i loaded with jdams, 8/8, 7/8, 7/8 consistency today i dropped about 40 with 37/40 accuracy.
I am sure i know what i am doing, this isn't my first rodeo with JDAMs or FA/18 (over 1100 hours on it in DCS).
I am starting to wonder if this is Syria map, or maybe JDAMs are not properly loaded. I will try to rearm on deck with the same loadout, or... there is a windshear down on deck i don't know about from METOPS. If the wind was the case however LGB's having a higher windbuckling would be affected too unless this has something to do with drop profile don't know that much about it.
BTW. It is the same for Wingman, he drops 2JDAMS and 2LGB's and....God Bless His Hearth...last time he didn't hit anything.
The tank mentioned requires direct hit, in current mission parameters i would suggest LGB, since JDAM's have a problem hitting a barrack complex alone.
The tank is destroyable, i did that several times. Wingman never hit him. That shouldn't be needed however since, there are 3 targets in first checkpoint, with guided munitions it should be 100 over 100 with one jdam remaining.
