steelrfan85 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I selected to drop 4 CBU and after I dropped, nothing happened. There was no explosion. I set fuze to VT and Efuze to INST with a hit of 1500 ft. I also don’t get an X to where I drop the bomb. It overshot. I just released when the horizontal bar lined up in the hud and auto said 0
DeltaMike Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Maybe coming in too shallow or too fast? Gotta drop em from up high, dive in steep, chop your throttle in the dive. Ryzen 5600X (stock), GBX570, 32Gb RAM, AMD 6900XT (reference), G2, WInwing Orion HOTAS, T-flight rudder
Chrinik Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 You don't get an X because you are in AUTO mode, which is CCRP. If you want to drop them CCIP, you have to select that mode. Try not selecting an E-fuze setting. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] GCI: "Control to SEAD: Enemy SAM site 190 for 30, cleared to engage" Striker: "Copy, say Altitude?" GCI: "....Deck....it´s a SAM site..."

Hekktor Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Can you plz try to do the same but just drop ONE bomb at a time? I believe to observe some strange behavior dropping more than one cbu. I am intensively testing the canister munitions since several updates. Usually my assumption was that if you use more than one bomb at one target that you intensify the damage on that spot. Strange thing is that I believe to get better results manually dropping the bombs one at a time then like to ripple fire them... Therefor I am asking if it is just me or if you might be able to repeat that observation.

steelrfan85 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Posted March 27, 2019 Yes. I saw the bombs fall off. They just didn’t explode when they hit the ground. It was weird.
Mouse_99 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 My cluster bombs don't go off, are we only allowed to use them at sea level? I set up a Mission in the mountains and tired to blow up an armored column in a Mtn pass, but they won't go off. I am not sure if 1500 ft is sea level or AGL, I can't set them higher, so I don't know if that's the problem or not.I use CCIP as the mode. I can get them to work at the caucasus abandoned air field.
Preendog Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) The height is the canister burst height above ground. Try setting it lower. The canister won't pop if it's too close to your airplane. Low altitude drops will not work, which is confusing as the CBU is called a 'RET' on the MFD. I don't know about specifics, but I use VT, INST and release the bomb a few thousand feet above my height setting with good results (latest release version, not beta). Edit: dropping single bombs in CCIP. Edited March 27, 2019 by Preendog
omskTransmash Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Everything has to be in order for my Rockeye (it was not like this before tho) Set MFUZ to VT, Set Height to 1500, Set EFUZ to INST (Instantly blow open the canistor? dont know) Set MODE to CCIP Drop the bomb somewhat over ALT 1500. around 2000 often fails. 3000~4000 should do it
