Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this problem, but it wasn't clear to me where else to post it.

 

Prior to World 1.5, when flying to the second waypoint in the first training mission (Spring), I was able to bomb the patrol with a single GBU38 and wipe out the whole patrol. Now in 1.5, that GBU38 will only destroy a truck and two soldiers. I started the sim again but used a GBU12, which is also based on the MK82. Again, I hit one truck, knocked out a couple of soldiers close to that truck and the second truck - just a few feet distant -- drove away!

 

In reality, either of these bombs cause an explosion killing everything in a 60 meter radius. And yet now apparently these bombs have not much more effect than a hand grenade. Something is seriously wrong here!

I believe an explosion rework is already planned on EDs whole things to do list, I believe most weapons need some thorough tweaking and rectification. A rework of ground based damage models could also be in order too - none of this sets on fire then explodes business

Thank you for the link, Erpe. I am glad that others noticed this problem too. This is a badly needed mod. I hope that ED incorporates it into a future release.
