Toss-Bombing

[doldi1989web.de]

I tried to Toss-Bomb LGBs, but they arent falling nose down. They circling arround and don‘t hook Up the laser from JTAC. Could someone explain me toss bombing and what makes it attractive?

You usually do that with dumb bombs and not with LGBs where their ballistic loft profile gets messed up when the laser guidance kicks in.

But generate a higher impact-speed don’t you?

 

How I control the Point of Impact? How do I calculate this? What are the plus of using this?

Well, you don't get a higher impact speed than you do when just bombing from higher up, which is the more common method for laser guided bombs. Also, unless you try to bust bunkers that speed isn't all that important.

The advantage of toss bombing (or loft bombing) is that you can hit a target while flying low and avoiding flying over the target. The trouble is that, obviously, it is fairly hard to aim without computer assistance.

Thats the point. Loft-Bombing is clear but toss-bombing or over the shoulder bombing Is not. Why you Would do that? It’s less accurate. What benefit Is from that?

I don’t get it :D

 

Shame that the LGBs arent capable of being dropped over the shoulder

Ah, my bad.

Usually the main idea behind that is that you can fly low and manage to get much farther away from your target before your bombs impact than you can with regular deliveries. Usually you might want to use that for those kinds of things that

a) pose a bit of a threat to yourself due to large area effect

b) generally do not require perfect pin-point accuracy

c) toss that damn thing from behind the mountains :D

:D Haha! Right over the top. „Oh Boy where the bombs come from?“ „from the Mountain „ :D
