I think weapon effects are independent of the aircraft.

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts.

Recently I've been playing with the F-5E (FC version) for the first time and I'm now trying to use the CBU-52 cluster bombs and was going to report an issue with these same bombs when I stumbled across this thread and so, I decided to post here instead of creating a new thread.

Basically CBU-52s are unusable since targets hit by their bomblets don't seem to get any damage at all. It's as if the bomblets don't do any damage at all. For instance I attach here the results of a release of two (2) GBU-52 where some of their bomblets hit 3 vehicles (SA-6 TELs) but absolutely no damage was done to the vehicles/TELs.
By the way, this bombing was done by releasing the bombs at 6,000 ft (dive bombing pattern) while the vehicles were located themselves at a locating with an elevation of only 33 ft (almost sea level) so the problem shouldn't be not having enough time to fuse and I do see the bomblets explode using external view camera or looking outside the plane's canopy.

Has anyone rechecked this with the new fusing options, not saying that would fix it, but wondering if this changed at all? I will try to find some time to check as well. Thanks.

PS if anyone checks and has tracks, feel free to share. 

The CBU-52 still don't have any fusing options. BL-755 and the Matras the same.
