cbu-97 broken! (while cbu-87 still underpowered?)

[twistking]

Hello,

just realized, that the cbu-97 now has an effect like an cbu-87. When it opens, you still see the little parachutes, but the effect on the ground is similar to normal cluster bombs, in which it just showers the ground randomly in golden sparks, without doing too much damage.

This is probably a bug, as i suspect, that it just inheritet functionality of generic cluster bombs by mistake.

 

Also, i still can't believe that normal cluster bombs are represented correctly in dcs. I could not find a situation, where a single cbu-87 would be more effective than f.e. a pair of iron bombs, even when being "blindfired" on suspected target locations without proper aiming.

This not a bug per se, but maybe still worth looking into.

Hello,

I also realized the change of the cbu-97 is weaker than before.

There's been a few threads on this already. I'd argue that what we see now is more like IRL. Instead of only a few skeets detonating and hitting target 100% of the time, lots of additional skeets detonate and miss.

It's not so much a miss but a self-detonate at 50' if they haven't found a below EFP target by then.
