Schafft Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 There are some errors in the CBU training missions. The one where you drop a CBU-87, the tail is grey, that is not right. The grey tail fins are for the GPS guided WCMD's. The regular CBU's had green tail fins. There was another error with the bomblets but I can't remember what it was. The grey tail fins are the WCMD GPS guided CBUs. I was the first person to build the WCMD in USAFE at Spangdahlem back in the late '90s. I built a **** ton of CBU's. Even for Kosovo for our A-10's from Spangdahlem. Grey CBU tail fin is WCMD. Green is a regular CBU. That is what you can tell the difference between a CBU-87 and a CBU-103. The internals is the same. it is the guidance that is the difference. Also, there is no tail fuze so setting the fuze setting in the MFD doesn't make a difference. The FZU-39 was set on the ground and couldn't be changed by the pilot in the air. So the airburst was a set function and couldn't be changed on the FZU-39. There is something else on the back of a CBU to do something but I'll keep that a secret...:smilewink:
Xavven Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 I remember someone with experience in the A-10 remarking that you can't set the nose/tail fusing from the cockpit, nor can you set the laser code of a LGB from the cockpit (you can change the TGP's but not the bomb's). That was like 10 years ago and ED never changed it for the A-10C. Here's to hoping they listen for the F-16.
