[REPORTED] GBU31V - No longer effective OB 2.5.6.50321

Hi,

Just been trying out the new TPOD and I'm aware there is currently an issue with TOO coords being overwritten for JDAM/JSOWS between stations.

However, I have a simple mission I built for learning JDAM/JSOW multiple drops etc a few weeks back. I've just placed 8 hardened AC shelters in a field and use them as targets for JDAM/JSOW. What I've noticed in the OB 50321 is that a direct strike (or 2) from a GBU31V no longer does any damage whatsoever to the AC shleter. Previously a single direct hit would have destroyed the AC shelter. Is this a known issue? Can anyone reproduce?

Regards,

Z

are you using any delay on your fusing to allow for penetration? We had some issues on our last flight with damage but it was against ships, and well, we all know ships are pretty much invincible in DCS.

I get the difference in damage between updates you're talking about, just wondering if maybe ED changed something requires proper setup for penetration-needing targets.

Hi,

Currently no, just EFUZ -> INST. Which is the same setting I was using previously which is why I am confused.

interesting, can always post a track file in the bugs section and see if ED has an answer. I would try the second delay option just to see what happens, never know

I'll have a try with a delay. Looks like the title has been changed to cannot reproduce - track file please. So I'll do some more digging before I post a trackfile.

Thanks,

So there are only 3 options for the fusing for the GBU31V - OFF, INST and VTI OFF shows DUD (as expected) INST exhibits the behaviour described and VTI impacts but doesn't explode.

Just created a single Shelter A in a new mission on Caucasus to make sure it wasn't something in my older mission and the behaviour is the same, direct hit on shelter A and no damage. I'll try and work out how to get a track set and uploaded. :thumbup:

Trackfile attached. Sorry it's a little long as I had to wait for the JDAMS to align. If you need anything else please just shout.
