The_Doktor Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Hi Pilots, did you ever try to conduct a loft attack with GPU´s or Mark 82? I tested it using the CCIP mode with partial succses. Although the Bomb entered a ballistic curve and flew towards the target the gain of range was marginal. All bombs except the GPU hit about 20 meters behind the target. I uesed tacview to analyze my attack. The idea of testing it came to me as i watched a video of british Tornados on a treaning mission in witch they attacked a sam site with dump bombs at low level and lofting them. Of course they succeed by doing so without a single loos :D What are your thoughts? :) PS: please excuse my bad english, i did my best :music_whistling:
AtaliaA1 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Your Engrish is fine. I would never use my GPU to attack anything to expensive. OK enough with the joking around. We had a discussion about "Toss Bombing" a few versions back, some developers and ED Team members contributed to it. In the end it was thought that in this sim Loft or Toss Bombing was of little use with the CCIP being so accurate it mitigated any reason for using that method of delivery. This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

ttaylor0024 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The A-10 just doesn't go fast enough to throw it good distances unfortunately
AtaliaA1 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The A-10 just doesn't go fast enough to throw it good distances unfortunately That and AOA is a more appropriate method of "Putting the Thing on the Thing".

HugePanic Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Some good read of "how to loft a bomb" http://www.amazon.de/Carrying-Nuke-Sevastopol-Plutonium-English-ebook/dp/B006RUP71Y
Mike5560 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 DCS F/A-18C should make lofting bombs fun. Who needs a maverick when you can loft a GBU-38 7+nm?
