GBU-24 Bugged and deficient performance.

[RPY Variable]

I wanted to address two things regarding the GBU-24.

 

1) It still bugged since I discover it was bugged 2 months ago, it may be bugged a long time before that. The bomb drops and doesn't follow the laser beam, it also doesn't appear on the F10 map as the other weapons do (It may have something to do with the problem).

 

2) In DSC the bomb drops and doesn't do a ballistic trajectory like the other GBU which is alright, but the flight path angle is still steeper than it should. From what I could find, the bomb should give have a glide ratio of 5:1, which should give you a distance of 18nm from 20.000 feet, but like it is now it won't give you even 10nm.

 

Here is a video showing the almost horizontal path that the bomb follows when it is released.

 

 

It seems that when the bomb find the laser beam is when it starts making a direct path (steeper angle) to the target, before that it just follows its best glide ratio.

 

This is the most capable ground weapon for the F-14 and it would be great if DCS could address this, it would make the aircraft so much fun to fly.

 

PD: Heatblur is already aware of this but they can't do nothing, it is an ED issue.
