[JNelson]

Steps to reproduce:

 

Have a double rack (either mk-83 or mk-82)

Go into A-G

Select either MK-83 or Mk-82

Set fuses to inst and nose

Set QTY and MULT 1 and 1

Press pickle button, both bombs fall off rack when only 1 should drop.

Can you confirm this happened after updating from version 2.5.2.17978.385 to version 2.5.2.18144.387?

[NastyFruit]

Also happened to me. CCIP, double racks of MK83's. Each press two bombs, even though Qty and MUTI set to 1. Don't have track unfortunately.

 

This was indeed after updating. Before update, dropped lots of bombs, without this happening.

 

Kind regards

On newest version, can confirm: I had the following things happen:

 

3 racks of 2x83's (center and outer wing stations)

 

center rack selected, 1 qty, 1 mult, ccip, noze and impact fuzing. Results: 1 bomb from each rack came off for a total of 3 released.

 

Repeated this a second time after resetting the settings, same result.

 

 

4 racks of 2x82's (both wing stations on each wing)

 

outer left rack selected, 2 qty, 1 mult, 10 interval, ccip, noze and impact fuzing. Results: 1 bomb from each rack for a total of 4 released.

 

outer left rack selected again, 1 qty, 1 mult, ccip, noze and impact fuzing. Results 1 bomb from 3 of the stations came off for a total of 3 released. Left one bomb on inner right wing station.

Latest version.

I've noticed this also. It happened after the today's update. I had 6 Mk-82 loadout set to Auto, 2qty, 1Mult, 1Int. They all released on pickle.

I just tested this with only 3 Mk-82s in CCIP. Settings were 1Qty, 1Mult, 1Int. Two bombs released on pickle.

[Phantom453]

Confirmed.

[Strikeeagle345]

I had (3) double racks and each press dropped 3 (1 from each rack).

Don't set a value for mult. What that does is compute "x" number of times you want weapon program to repeat itself on each pylon upon single press of pickle. Qty1 mult 1 will release total of 2 bombs if you have two pylons with bombs

[Stevoo4552]

how do i set the MULT to 0 then ? cause i got the same problem since the Patch

[Jethro11]

Just set the qty to 1,and don’t touch the multi.

[Stevoo4552]

Just set the qty to 1,and don’t touch the multi.

but its auto setting it to 1? :huh:

[ben_der]

It doesn't seem to happen with the CBU 99 on the inner Wing Pylons. At least thats where I had them in my mixed loadout.

 

The CBU falling way short in CCIP is another Issue.

[JNelson]

Don't set a value for mult. What that does is compute "x" number of times you want weapon program to repeat itself on each pylon upon single press of pickle. Qty1 mult 1 will release total of 2 bombs if you have two pylons with bombs

 

I assumed it was the same as default. It happens for me with both manually and default.

[idenwen]

Yep came here to ask the same. Latest Version as of posting.

 

BDUs deployment as in the

: 1 Pickle, 4 dropping (1 each rail) with a setting of 1 QTY 1 MULT

Same Problem with CBU and Clusters. CBU has sometimes the strange phenomenon that the first drop is a single and the next are all others it seems. Maybe has something to do with what CFlip said.

[StandingCow]

Also noticing this. MK-83s.

 

 

Had 2 on each pylon for a total of 8, and they kept dropping in pairs or sometimes 3s.

[lemoen]

It is not only double racks. Happens when you load a single mk82 / 83 onto a pylon. QTY and MULT set to 1. Each pickle releases 2 or 3 bombs, depending on which pylon was selected (looks like)

It is not only double racks.

Single CBU on every pylon - drops only in pairs.

[Flagrum]

Don't set a value for mult. What that does is compute "x" number of times you want weapon program to repeat itself on each pylon upon single press of pickle. Qty1 mult 1 will release total of 2 bombs if you have two pylons with bombs

 

1 × 1 = 2

 

1 × 0 = 1

 

Hrm, somehow that looks odd.

[yoshama]

I posted another thread with tracks and youtube vid.

[toutenglisse]

Yes I also have my version of the bug : std settings (quty and mult - 1) 2 * 2 Mk83 on wings (symetr. double racks), and when I release it varies from 1 to 3 bombs released, depending on I don't know what.

[CookieTest]

I also noticed some weirdness and randomness in how the hornet releases bombs with single release (QTY = 1, MULT = 1) and compiled a few tries in a table (tab separated values).

 

Also once had zunis on double racks shoot the top four rockets of a double rack.

I was also able to reproduce this.

 

 

Even though it's been reported here's a track file of the issue occurring during the "Convential Bombing" Caucasus Instant Action mission.

 

 

Just select the Mk82 (also happens with other types) and release.

 

 

I also noticed something similar happening with air to air weapons, but less often. No track of that yet.

I also can confirm this problem. Was working fine before the patch. Now no matter what I do it drops bombs in pairs or at 3 at a time.
