CBU87 help...

[AstroEma]

So, I am playing the Overwatch mission and there is some infantry on the ground which needs CBU87 to be killed.

Dropping the bombs with the standard settings -hof 1800- disintegrates the bomb in the air and I don't see any droplets ejected.

I tried changing the hof to 3000 and the same thing happens: bombs drops and the explodes in the air.

Height of terrain is 1700.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

Are you enough high for droping them?

The HOF is a bit weird, the footprints differ from those in real life.

 

There are several good video tutorials on those CBUs, IIRC this is one of the good ones:

Try the settings from the video. At that moment I also used them, those bombs got very accurate!

Its the C-setting for HOF.

The CBU-87 uses a linear charge to blow open the outer casing above the ground, releasing 200 submunitions (not all of them are modeled in DCS though). I'm guessing you're watching the CBU-87 with the F6 view. The F6 view doesn't follow any of the bomblets to the ground, so you only see the explosion in the air. Try watching the fireworks from your TGP instead, or just look out the cockpit window.

Thanks Guys, it worked perfectly now. The problem was a combination of hof and rpm settings!
