Lace Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 I have a quick question regarding the release intervals, which as far as I can tell isn't covered in the manual. I understand that 1=10m, 2=20m etc. spacing, however, is this a true distance spacing or a function of time? i.e. will the spacing be constant regardless of aircraft speed or dive angle? Will I get 10m with a level delivery at 480kts, the same as a 60deg dive at 300kts? I should probably just go and try it and look at the crater gaps but thought someone might know. Cheers!

amalahama Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Please do. It should leave the same gap between bombs regardless the speed. Best regards
jojo Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 It should be distance spacing. But AFAIK it isn’t really working currently. Mirage fanatic !

amalahama Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 what a surprise I'm guessing that it's absolutely key to visit a french squadron and get lots of confidential info for making it work, right?
Lace Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 Ok, so short answer is that the distance does not seem to be fixed. I tried a 50m interval level delivery at 480kts and a 60deg dive at 300kts with two releases of 4x Snakes each and the gaps were very different. I would say the level delivery was close to 50m intervals, but the slow dive delivery impacts much more bunched up, almost on top of each other. Laptop Pilot.

Tripleinside Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 And the behaviour is different, whether you use GBUs or MK82s The pattern us much more accurate using MK82s Win10 x64, Intel core I9 9900k@5ghz, 32GB DDR4, RTX2080 ti, MSI Z370 Tomahawk mobo, M.2 SSD, Warthog HOTAS, home made trackIr, Pimax 8K
Ramsay Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 I tried a 50m interval level delivery at 480kts and a 60deg dive at 300kts with two releases of 4x Snakes each and the gaps were very different. I would say the level delivery was close to 50m intervals, but the slow dive delivery impacts much more bunched up, almost on top of each other. AFAIK the main cause of the difference in the second delivery - would be your 60° dive angle. When you pickle, the mission computer calculates the required release interval based off ground speed and height at that instant. 300 knots = 154 m/s so 50 m equals a release pulse every 320 ms 600 knots = 309 m/s so 800 m equals a release pulse approx. every 2.5 s There doesn't appear to any CCIP correction for subsequent releases/changes in height/speed, so • in a dive - later releases go short • in a climb/loft - later releases go long Tested in 2.5.0, dropping 8x Mk82S (800-20m spacing, 30-40m best vs soft targets) on Batumi's 2400 m runway.
