112th_Rossi Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I had some questions from a few friends on how to deploy MK82AIRs (or any other dumb bomb) in ripple mode so they can wipe out large groups of targets. So I decided to put together a few short videos on how to configure weapons for simply destroying a line of trucks, from that I hope others can adapt the technique for different scenarios 3e2Orrsz8Hs
Wrecking Crew Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hey, Rossi :-) Pow pow pow pow,,, pow! It was kind of hard to see -- what did you set in the profile? RIP SGL TAIL RIP QTY WC PS -- you missed one. :D Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms. All released missions are available for free download, modification and public hosting, from my Wrecking Crew Projects site.

RIP SGL TAIL RIP QTY WC PS -- you missed one. :D It's in the description of the video on YouTube. RPL SGL, RPL QTY=12, 25FT Really not sure why my first bomb fell short. If anyone can explain I'd appreciate it.
Cool Breeze Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Nice pass! Would it be better to use CCRP mode in those low altitude situations? That way you are not diving on the target? Or does that just make me a better target? "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Leonardo Da Vinci "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." John F. Kennedy

If anyone can explain I'd appreciate it.The pipper does not show the first ripple realease point of impact, but rather the central point of impact of the entire release.
112th_Rossi Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 The pipper does not show the first ripple realease point of impact, but rather the central point of impact of the entire release. Yes this was explained in a YouTube comment. Thanks!
Gunny Huntarr Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) As was stated a CCRP release is a option for that level release, but you could have also used Consent to Release 5mil or 3/9. Your Pipper was pressed at the beginning of the column not at the center. In RPL SGL the computed release point is center around the pipper to bracket the target. http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php Edit: Sniped by my own comment on youtube :megalol: Edited October 29, 2015 by Gunny Huntarr 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] SysSpecs:Display= 4K 55" UHD JU6700 Series Curved Samsung Processor= Intel64 i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz RAM= 16 GB Ripjaws 4 series DDR4 2400 MHz GPU= NVIDIA GeForce MSI GTX 980 OCV1 1152MHz Core 4GB GDDR5 Memory Storage= 128GB Apotop S3C SSD Storage= 2TB Toshiba DT01ACA200 HDD OS= Win 10 Peripheral= TrackIR5 w/ TrackClip PRO Controller= Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG™ USAF Replica :joystick:
SUBS17 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Nice video very handy info with the settings.:thumbup: I see the truck was firing flares incase you decided to use an Aim9 lol.:lol: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
FSKRipper Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Nice run. A short question: Maybe it is a graphical feature but the ballutes are opening only milliseconds before impact. Is this due to your very low attack profile or are there specific settings for ejecting the ballute? In most videos I have seen they are deployed immediately after bomb release.

112th_Rossi Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 I don't think there are any settings for the ballute deployment. At least not that I know of. I just created a new profile.
QuiGon Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Nice run. A short question: Maybe it is a graphical feature but the ballutes are opening only milliseconds before impact. Is this due to your very low attack profile or are there specific settings for ejecting the ballute? In most videos I have seen they are deployed immediately after bomb release. I'm also wondering about that. It makes the AIR-variant pretty much pointless.

SUBS17 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 RIP SGL N/T RIP QTY 12 FT 25 MODE CCIP :D This is why no Balute N/T, it must be set to Tail.:thumbup: I'll double check You can use N/T but it arms both fuses. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
SUBS17 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Mk82AIR I found the ballutes deploy on both tail and N/T settings and nose gives invalid fuse. And I was dropping below 1000ft for release, whats the safe height of release to avoid fragging yourself. Its interesting to see RL heights that they use for deconfliction if working in pairs in split attack etc. Does anyone know the lowest height for release of MK82AIR?:joystick: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
SUBS17 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 With the settings: RIP SGL N/T 25FT CCIP And CCIP 3/9 at 690ft pickle I got 9/20 trucks which isn't bad I think a bigger spacing would give better results as the Mk82 will destroy a truck without a direct hit. BTW pickle was in centre of the convoy.:pilotfly: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Nealius Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I might as well post my mediocre example: 8 bombs, 125ft spacing. Got 7/10 trucks. Would have gotten the other three if I hadn't forgotten that the pipper marks the middle of the bombing stick.

Its interesting to see RL heights that they use for deconfliction if working in pairs in split attack etc. Does anyone know the lowest height for release of MK82AIR?:joystick: I guess the minimum safe height depends on the aircrafts speed, so it should be higher for the A-10 than for other aircraft. Btw, here's a nice video how it looks like IRL, although it's not an A-10: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Nealius Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) So you got the ballutes even with the N/T setting is that correct? I get the ballutes in N/T as well. It's also the default setting in 1.5. And I was dropping below 1000ft for release, whats the safe height of release to avoid fragging yourself. Can't say anything for the A-10, but I have charts from an ancient F-16 weapons delivery manual. Minimum release altitude changes according to dive angle, speed, target density altitude, ripple spacing, and escape maneuver. Unfortunately the slowest speed listed is 450KTAS so it can't be applied to the A-10 I don't think. Maybe if there's a way to extrapolate it we can create one? Edited October 30, 2015 by Nealius
