ricktoberfest Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Because unlike the CBU-87/97 type weapons which can be programmed from within the cockpit and BL775 which can be set by the groun crew the Rockeye has a fixed (4 second I think?) delay from arming to deploying which makes it somewhat limited in the things you can do with it. It's perfectly lethal if you get it right but it's not as flexible as the more advanced weapons. Ah.

It was available in 4 marks, fix delay in Mk1, Mk2 had a shorter delay for use on faster aircraft (tornado), Mk3 had different suspension lugs and mk4 had (improved or IBl755) differing delays and improved bomblets. In the early 90s when the RAF started to move away from purely low level operations they developed RBl755, this had a radar proximity sensor on the tail of the bomb that didn`t start the deployment sequence until the bomb had reached a specific height, this allowed it to be dropped from Med altitude.

Zeus67 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Why are mk20 rockeye despised? (Aside from being old tech) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not despised just obsolete although still very effective, but from what I have read there is a high percentage of MK-20s that are misreleased and thus the bomblets either do no deploy or the covered area is quite small. It seems that cluster bomb release is more an art than a science.

DefaultFace Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 wow really.... smh Well in 'another sim which shall not be named' the fuses broke on the Mk20s if you pulled too many G's. That was the main disadvantage in comparison to the -87/97/etc. Happened quite often that you would drop them only for them to go ballistic into the dirt because you overdid it on ingress. 9./JG27 "If you can't hit anything, it's because you suck.

shagrat Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 it would be cool to damaged runway (with real hole), so the harrier could be an asset.As far as I am aware, the bombs/explosions that leave a crater texture already "damage" the runway...

Zeus67 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 As far as I am aware, the bombs/explosions that leave a crater texture already "damage" the runway... May need to retest. There is a "runway unavailable" timer in DCS that indicates that the runway cannot be used for a while. It is assumed that the runway is repaired after the timer runs out.
