caponi Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 hmmm ... i dropped 12 MK-82 Snakeeyes on SA-10 Control vehicles ... see picture red marking okay, i do not hit directly, but no damage is too less ... :cry: the vehicles are not armored ... so i can't evade and were shot down ... :music_whistling: may be that this is not a special F-16 behaviour ... too much ...
GPatricks Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) The CBU-100 Cluster Bomb (also called the Mk-20 Rockeye) would be a much better choice IMO, is it available? Works well on light-medium armor also..

Moafuleum Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 This is, in fact, indeed not an F-16 behaviour but it is due to the way DCS works and models the damage of ground units. There is some rumor around that this is going to change in the future.
Harker Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 In DCS, shrapnel effects are not simulated, which is what would account for the most damage against soft targets like these. Same reason why rockets are ineffective unless you score a direct hit. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Niehorst Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I experienced the same during the Single Mission: Island Style My MK-82's didn't do any damadge to those silkworm launchers and those hits were really close. Had the feeling that it got easier to kill vehicles with the 500 pounders. In the 18 and AV8 I killed a MBT wit a 500 pound bomb in 70-80% I would estimate. Anyway, the blast effect of bombs is and was always a problem in DCS. When I played with the CAT and her LANTIRN, I dropped a GBU-10 on one of those tripple fuel tank batteries near the parking position of an iranian airfield. Only the one in the middle which suffered a direct hit of this 2000 pound bomb was destroyed. The two on the left and right were ok. No matter that they were standing directly in the crater! lol Edited October 13, 2019 by Niehorst NZXT H400i case i9 9900k @ 4,9GHz (cooled by NZXT Kraken X62 4x140Fan - Push/Pull) Asus RoG Maximus XI Gene with 32GB G.Skill CL14 Samsung M.2 970Pro 1000GB ZOTAC RTX 2080ti Triple Fan 11GB 34" RoG Swift Curved TFT runs smooth like Beck's Gold :D HTC VIVE pro eYe (still freaking out!)
