flo57100 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Hello there, What are your settings to use mk20 ? I tried every fuze settings, it seems to have the same effect as gravel thrown onto the vehicles. On the other hand, with the f18, I manage to slaughter a convoy. The difference is the submunitions release altitude can be set. So, is this lack of efficiency with the harrier is due to bug ? WIP regarding mk20s integration with the module ? 1
shagrat Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 As far as I understood from Wags comments for the F/A-18C Mk20, the Mk20 is set to a fixed fuse on the ground and HT is currently 1500ft only. So the value you need to put into the UFC is the release height set on the fuse (fixed to the bomb, by ground crew) to reflect the settings on the bomb and the targeting computer/ARBS knows what is set on the bomb. The values were 1500 ft HT function, dive angle of 35 to 40 degrees. I am not 100% sure, but I think it still is a fixed HT with the Mk20/CBU-99 ?

Mumby Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Hello there, What are your settings to use mk20 ? I tried every fuze settings, it seems to have the same effect as gravel thrown onto the vehicles. On the other hand, with the f18, I manage to slaughter a convoy. The difference is the submunitions release altitude can be set. So, is this lack of efficiency with the harrier is due to bug ? WIP regarding mk20s integration with the module ? Fuze setting doesn’t seem to matter much, I generally use this: Fuzing set to anything other than SAFE Release 300 to 350ft AGL, zero vertical speed. Speed 450 to 480 knots 50 to 75 ft spacing ripple singles 4 or 6 bombs in a stick seem to give me good results against convoys and other moderately dispersed assets (e.g SA2 sites) Note that at this altitude the canisters open almost as soon as they come off the jet. Just my opinion. Have fun!
flo57100 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Thanks for your answers guys ! So, we tried different procedures on a big convoy yesterday with interesting results: 1) .Fuze Op .Interval 75Ft .2 bombs .450-500 Kts for 500Ft RadAlt DON'T DO THAT IF ZSU TRUCK OR WORST, SHILKA OR TUNGUSKA IN CONVOY (even BMP-2 can ruin your day, damn those sniper-tank crews :music_whistling:) 2) .Fuze Op .Interval 230-250 Ft .4 Bombs .Dive angle 20-30° .520 Kts .Start dive at 15000Ft ABOVE TARGET, pull up before 5000Ft (use UFC ALT menu > ODU PUC option) .CCIP mode Sends the convoy on the highway to hell if you do that in coop with a fellow pilot, altitude gives you safety from AAA but WATCHOUT FOR MANPADS, STRELA-13s AND STRELA-1s Edited June 29, 2019 by flo57100 1
