Bombing & waypoint

[Madeyes]

Anyone having problems with the F18 on waypoint input accuracy & free fall bomb ripple spreading. I tried to bomb 3 wypts today which I input from the F10 & each was nearly a mile away from the actual target. Then I tried to hit targets by measuring the distance & using that to hit each of 3 targets with 3 bombs. In a diving free fall bomb run the aircraft cannot compute the distance. Totally useless. I’ve also noticed the F18 IAS is 29 kts slower than the Harrier or Mirage.

do you mean using a WP as a WPDSG (waypoint designate target) ?

 

WPDSD its not meant to be used as an accurcy freefal bom in CCRP ( automode) but rather as a reference point for an area of targets.

 

As of now automode (CCRP) is not working properly for free fall bomb, , you cant be very precise when using the TDC to slew the designation point above a target.
