TheBigTatanka Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Hello guys, I am observing all of my lofted weapons going a about 200 feet long now. Can others conform this? They were on target before the last update, but now they go long. If i release from level with 1 G on the jet, the bombs are accurate. I'm wondering if this has to do with INS changes in the beta, or if it is tied to pulling Gs durring release as i loft. Any input is appreciated.

Lex Talionis Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) just an FYI .... we never lofted ordinance. It is inherently inaccurate. Any aerodynamic force imparted on the air-frame, thus the bomb, during release makes the release cue wildly inaccurate. whats more, lofting the bomb makes the flight profile considerably more susceptible to any meteorological induced disruption. The aircraft should be in as stable a state during release. That said, no idea how the game does it. Edited March 30, 2019 by Lex Talionis Find us on Discord. https://discord.gg/td9qeqg
Tomsk Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) I've noticed that all AUTO bombing modes seem to be incredibly inaccurate. Including AUTO mode whilst diving at the target, which should behave very much like CCIP. Yet CCIP is accurate and AUTO mode whilst diving is not. Additional AUTO mode in the Hornet is much less accurate than CCRP on the A-10 for example, or similar modes in other aircraft. As noted, in all AUTO modes, no matter the attack profile (diving, lofting or level) the ordnance goes long every single time. Usually by about 100-200 ft or so. I guess this is to be expected from an early access module, probably the bombing modes haven't been worked on much yet. Edited March 31, 2019 by Tomsk
TheBigTatanka Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks Lex for the reply.... that is good to know. I was trying to use it to simulate the "dive-toss" release my dad used to tell me about in the F4E. I'm just a tanker pilot, so my knowledge of the tactical world is from the margins. Did you ever loft LGB weapons? I know that is being done to good effect in some communities now. Tomsk.... i'm noticing the same for any auto delivery where aerodynamic forces are not zeroed out before release. But it is worse after last update. I'll stick to CCIP for dumb bombs and await JDAM.

Yeah I've found they miss long even for perfectly stable scenarios: constant airspeed, constant altitude, completely level, exactly 1 G on the aircraft at time of release ... still goes long.
