How does the sight calculate for bombing?


Recommended Posts

Just how does the sight calculate an impact solution for bombing? It has gyros and accelerometers for sure, but it should need to know the distance to ground to properly calculate the impact point as far as I know.

 

I know the tutorials say you can enable the radar in fixed beam mode, but that is optional and it works just fine – or at least almost as good – without. So how does it work without radar?

I think it is a bug. I noticed it magically works when selecting certain weapons (e.g. Kh-66).

 

If the RADAR is off, it should require manual setting.

 

Best regards,

I assumed it used radar altimeter, but don't know.

I think one of the rocket or bombing tutorials explicitly mentioned that radar is not needed. So I don't think this is accidental. Could still be unrealistic though.

I think it uses the radar altimeter, the dive angle and airspeed to calculate the solution. No need for radar.
