Set your altimeter to what the briefing says. Not target altitude.

Just normal CCRP. Set target alt, make sure alt QFE is set to briefing. Then in OPT mode put circle on target, hold launch, then Pull up with 4-5 G until bomb drops. If there’s wind more then 5 m/s you need to pre designate.

No they should cool down from master arm. I have noticed there is a few second delay from locking from until missile is ready, they do take a second to “prepare” and BIT. There are other times it seemingly just doesn’t get LA and I sometimes switch missiles or modes trying to get it to lock

“ The introduction of ballistic data of the aircraft bombs is carried out before the PK flight by a special team, by setting the coated switches (code guidance) in positions corresponding to the code of the aircraft bombs being used. Depending on the conditions of combat use and the mode of bombing with the PVK, the elevation, the target's descent relative to the take-off airport (HEA) and the specified bomb drop angle are additionally introduced when bombing from a climb. In addition, ballistic data input is also provided for all aircraft bombs with PVK.” Uvodjenje balističkih podataka avionskih bombi vrši se pre leta PK od strane posebne ekipe, postavljanjem obloženih preklopnika (kodno vodjenje) u položaje koji odgovaraju kodu avionskih bombi koje se upotrebljavaju. Zavisno od uslova borbene primene i režima bombardovanja sa PVK, dopunski se uvodi nadvišavanje, priniženje cilja u odnosu na aerodrom poletanja (Hea) i zadati ugao odbacivanja bombi pri bombardovanju iz kabriranja (penjanja). Pored toga, za sve aviosnke bombe sa PVK se obezbedjuje takodje informaciono uvodjenje balističkih podataka. It is page 324. Gonna try and find it in the Russian version. When bombing from a climb implies to me that this primarily meant for CCRP.

Sorry QNH. I found the phrase from the Alan Wise manual in the L-18 Yugoslavian manual where it’s likely translated from

It is one thing that needs added, laser range added to WCS info in bombing modes. It already does this for rocket and gun which work perfect. When laser sees no ground it uses target elevation. I assume the fact that this “switch” between the two ranging methods is just what needs to be done. I have not checked rocket/gun use with the laser turned off though…….If that works off target altitude also, it is a matter of adding the same process to bombing mode. Another interesting aspect of target altitude, the laser has two conditions to auto turn on range to target alt is less then 3.5 km and nose below 10 degrees elevation. Therefor is target alt was off by a lot. You may need to activate it early

While we have figured out how it works In game, it still does not make sense according to documentation which says it should be using laser range when the laser is on and within range of ground (3.5 km). And I can confirm with my tracks in the “bombing short” thread that this altitude error does occur with the laser on and in range. So the behavior we should see 1. laser on in CCIP, bombs drop accurately no matter the “target altitude setting” (this is the part that does not seem correct as it’s still using target altitude) 2. target altitude and QFE must be set for CCRP (this part works and is seemingly correct) The whole reason for this discussion is that people are confused by the laser being on and ranging yet not being utilized by the aircraft, and you can see similar comments in the Russian forums I tested both air and land start. I didn’t feel the need to test in mountains becuase this “setting QFE” technique by its nature will only work for targets at a specific barometric altitude.

You can delete this. Problem solved in “Bombing uses only barometric altitude” thread

I have been having misses lately using laser ranging in CCIP in multiplayer, consistently. Making sure my laser was on also. If I destroy the target it’d only be from splash damage. I’m gonna try matching up QFE and see if that makes a difference. Mission I tested in had QFE same as briefing. So that’s why I saw difference not in MP. I set my QFE +30 and bomb went quite long with laser on CCIP EDIT: I just tried CCIP and CCRP in the online server that I’ve been having short bomb impacts in, matched QNH to briefing. And the impacts were PERFECT on both CCIP and CCRP now! You figured out bombing!!!!!!

This makes so much sense Ivan! I can’t wait to try it and see if it’s why I have trouble with bomb dropping online! If I can finally CCRP from over 5 km away online and bomb without risking my butt to any MANPAD or AAA………. Yo-yo, to me what this means is that whether you do CCIP or CCRP bombs. Laser on or off, it will only be truly accurate for one altitude/target area. Which, the MiG-29 and all Soviet tactical aviation was designed to only attack one location at a time anyways. Which should still be wrong for laser assisted CCIP……. But atleast this means we can choose our target and be accurate, we just won’t have the ability to CCIP bombs wherever we want……… Which how odd would it be if Mikoyan said “let’s use set target deltaH for bombing CCRP and CCIP wether the laser turns on or not.”

I’m done with bombs falling short, just gonna use the rocket bombs for now (S-24)

Great job posting a ton of tracks!

They work for me, just hard to get lateral aim right with CCRP. I’m sure you set target alt

I could swear there was a post by bignewy or someone here saying there would be.

Well for one. It doesn’t seem to implemented into FF 9.12A yet. It was implemented in FC3, but not super well
