How to Loft Bomb in the A-10?

[Wild.Bill.Kelso]

I did this a long time ago, but can't remember the procedure. Maybe I'm wrong, and the A-10 can't do it?

 

I select a Mk82 or Mk84.

Put the cursor over my target and Lock on.

If I just fly over the target the bombs will drop.

Not sure if or when to press O for CCRP?

If I pull up after locked on, it doesn't drop the bombs.

 

What's the procedure for this???

Switch to CCRP Bombing by pressing the "O" key. Either fly or scroll the TDC onto the target and lock it (TAB). Fly the cues. Pull into a climb as the Cueing Marker starts moving down the bomb fall line.

 

EDIT:: Here's a short V1.12a track (no voice): A-10 Loft Bombing

 

As others have noted, lofting in an A-10 doesn't help much due to the lower energy imparted to the munitions. But in some circumstances it's better than nothing against a guarded target.
