JDAM fuse - V3/B

[Pike]

I've searched the forums and updates and I can't seem to find anything on setting the delay for JDAMs. Is this something that is in the works, or am I overlooking it?

 

 

 

I see the JPF option, but it seems inoperable. Is there a plan to make this functional. Seems like critical feature for the bunker buster, although, based on the one bunker I dropped on, it did "work," even though the explosion was on the surface.

To answer your question, the roadmap lists JPF as a 2021 project. I don’t know where damage modeling that would include any JPF capabilities is in the larger DCS roadmap however. As it would be just a couple ddi screens and graphic effect until that happens, I suspect this is why it is listed as a late stage project. Time delay or void sensing is pointless if the effect on a structure is the same as inst. Same is true for terminal trajectories, jdam airbursting, etc, until weaponeering effects on structures and some type of risk estimate distances for different units are modeled there’s not much reason to build it.
