Harmer Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 What difference is there between the two current iterations of the Hornet JDAMs in the drop down bomb weapons list? GBU-31 GBU-31(V)3/B [sIGPIC]https://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic104652_2.gif[/sIGPIC]

Harker Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 The GBU-31 is the Mk-84 (2000lbs general purpose bomb) with the JDAM guidance kit. The GBU-31(V)3/B is the BLU-109 (2000lbs hardened penetration bomb) with the JDAM guidance kit. It's a bunker buster bomb. 1 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

Deadnine Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 The Gbu31 v3 has the hardened Blu109 warhead ska "Bunker buster"

Harker Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Do they have different effects in game?That's debatable. I'm not sure whether DCS has hardened surfaces to begin with.

Tholozor Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Actually they do make a difference. Some static structures like the Ammunition Depot or Command Center can take more than one GBU-31 to destroy, but a single (V)3/B will destroy either in one go. 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/

Scottyd Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) So now there is the: GBU-31(V)1/B - GP or mk84 GBU-31(V)2/B - ??? GBU-31(V)3/B - BLU109 GBU-31(V)4/B- ??? and also GBU-32(V)2/B (guessing its a 1000lb)? so what are the 2/B and 4/B?

Tholozor Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) 1/B and 2/B use the same warhead (Mk-84), same for 3/B and 4/B (BLU-109). The main difference being that the 2/B and 4/B are thermally coated for the Navy and Marines to resist cook-off in the event of a shipboard fire (1/B and 3/B are for the Air Force, and not thermally coated). Obviously this has no effect in DCS at the moment, but the GBU-31 models have an argument to change the appearance to have the thermal coating; this alternate appearance will likely come in the future.

Tholozor Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) One thing I also hope to see sooner than later are the additional nose fuzes and plugs used on JDAMs. Right now everything has the M904 impact fuze, but most of the time JDAMs are equipped with aerodynamic plugs or use the DSU-33 proximity sensor instead. Luckily it's planned: Edited January 6, 2021 by Tholozor 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/

Luckily it's planned: As a current munitions systems personnel in the USAF, I can concur that GBU-38s and GBU-31(V/1)s typically have the DSU-33, and the GBU-31(V/3)s always have nose cups installed in the front & the fuze installed in the rear since it's a penetrator/bunker buster. 1
