Su-25A Bomb Salvo Settings

[tn_prvteye]

I know that you can only drop the whole rack if you load up the 4 X FAB-100s, but what Salvo settings do I need to set to not drop ALL of them at once (one rack at a time).

 

Actually, I couldn't find any info on Salvo settings on the WCS. Manual is a bit...lacking.

You might want to check Lshift+V or the following commands

Ripple interval, Ripple quantity. I'm in the pit, testing..

[tn_prvteye]

I can set the ripple interval, I just don't know what the quantity settings are. I can change them, but the numbers on the switch don't correspond to anything. I know I should be able to drop ALL racks, or just one rack. But I don't know which setting on the Quantity dial achieves this.

This isn't the info you need? The WSC is the same for the Su-25 and -25T. Or am I misunderstanding the issue?

 

3-53: Su-25T Weapon System Control Panel

 

The weapon system control panel includes:

 

• the release mode switch with positions ЗАЛП – 0.1 - 0.2 – 0.3 – 0.4 – СЕРИЯ КМГУ-МБД for free-fall ordnance, and 0 – ФИКС – ПРОГР for use with gunpods.

• the salvo size switch with positions ПО 1 - ПО 2 – ПО 4 – ВСЕ.

 

The release mode switch controls the manner in which air to ground weapons are employed:

 

•ЗАЛП (SALVO) – all weapons in the salvo are released simultaneously.

•0.1– 0.4 – individual weapons in the salvo are released with the selected interval (in seconds) between them…

 

 

The salvo size switch is cycled with [LCtrl - Space] and selects the quantity of ordnance to be released with each pull of the trigger:

 

ПО 1 – ПО 2 – ПО 4 – ВСЕ (Singly – In pairs – Four at a time – All) – The quantity of ordnance to be released.

 

Note that even the ПО 1 setting will still release ordnance hung from the outermost weapon stations in symmetric pairs, to avoid excessively unbalancing the aircraft. Only the four innermost wing stations provide individual weapon release with this setting.

 

MERs always release all attached weapons together. It is not possible to command individual bomb release from the Su-25T’s MERs.

One thing to keep in mind with Frogfoots is heavier ordinances, when used on outer 4 pylons can only be dropped in pairs.(EDIT)... as Ironhand just pointed out in last post.:doh:

Also, the MER won't let you drop the 4 bombs simultaneously. Each 4 pack has it's own "mini ripple".

:) The two outboard hardpoints will only release as symetrical pairs (sequence 2/10, 3/9), as cthulhu68 points out. The two inboard hardpoints will release all the munitions on the MERs, in the sequence 4, 8, 5, 7, if you want to release singly.

if i understand correctly you mean launching just two fab-100s from MERs?

if yes, just AI can do it in russian planes. both AI su-25A and T (and some others) can do it from all of their pylons . but unfortunately players still can not do it.

Bingo...thanks everyone! That's the issue I was having. Why isn't that in the Su-25 manual? Didn't think to look in the Su-25T docs.

Thanks Ironhand! Having the real data helps clarify things.

 

Also, the MER won't let you drop the 4 bombs simultaneously. Each 4 pack has it's own "mini ripple".

 

Surely the ripple speed can be adjusted by ground-crew though? At least that is my assumption - that the MER is somewhat configurable when the airplane is landed.

 

Similarly, something MAC could really do with is having an ability to set the RBK settings to match the mission/attack profile (even if it can't be done while airborne - it is needed now that modelling is increasing in detail).
