DmitriKozlowsky Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 My bomblets hit, but T-XX tanks are immune. Should fuse be MFUSE PRImary or VT variable time? I dropped 8 CBU-99 from about 14K. Canisters split , bomblets caused cool fireworks, and all tanks survived despite being within the beaten zone of submunitions.
kengou Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Cbu-99 damage is poor right now. Will only really work vs light skinned vehicles.But the only effective settings are these: VT release, height set to 1500. Dive at 30 degrees and release then at around 2500 ft Virpil WarBRD | Thrustmaster Hornet Grip | Foxx Mount | Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle | Logitech G Throttle Quadrant | VKB T-Rudder IV | TrackIR 5 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB | 32GB DDR4 3200 | SSD

Dive at 30 degrees and release then at around 2500 ft If it is a column, it is good to use release in pairs with interval 50-75ft. Also i prefer to dive at 25 and release a bit higher, around 3000-3500 ft Intel Core i5 7600k, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1070, SSD VKB Gunfighter Mk.

Thunderbird Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 yikes and thats not avail on F18 right so when comes to take multiple armored vehicle there is no recommendation'? only can take out single target example using bombs? how about AGM154A?
silverdevil Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 i believe the AGM-154A is same problem and same bomblets. AGM-154C will kill pretty much anything. And you get 8 of them.

And of course its highly realistic to use 154C's against low value targets like tanks...:music_whistling: New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Swift. Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 is mean is MK20 damage is poor as well? Mk20 = CBU 99 The difference is one is thermal coated and one isnt 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
Stubbies2003 Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Only CBU's working vs armored vehicles are CBU97 and CBU 105. This just isn't true. I use the Rockeye on the F/A-18 all the time versus T-90/M-1/Challengers. Now granted you very well might need two shots to fullly kill a MBT with the Rockeye but it works just fine against MBTs. Anything below a MBT in armor I kill with a single Rockeye. If there aren't any SAM/MANPAD defenses to worry about in the target area the Rockeye becomes my go-to weapon to clear an airbase. If there are I clear those with Mav F prior to getting my feet wet over the base. Edited June 12, 2020 by Stubbies2003
GumidekCZ Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Mk20 = CBU 99 The difference is one is thermal coated and one isnt Absolute not true, why you guys not going to test properly the thing your want to discuse before you do so? Because if you did that, you could notice how big difference is between these two (CBU-99 and Mk-20 by effect on target (believe me, its big). I have done test with whole range of RU made vehicles present in DCS. Some of my friends didnt belive me, but when I teach them how to do it right, they were amazed, how Mk-20 could be leathal. Sure, it is not wind corrected munition, but if no SHORAD presented, you will leave columns of armoured vehicles in flames. One thing about these two CBU we are now waiting to be fixed are incorrect fuze types and store page settings, this was presented by ED as temporary solution untill they will have time to fix it ... I hope will be soon. If you would like to se my track... will attach it this weekend.

CBU-99 uses a variant of the rockeye dispenser called SUU-75()/B, with the difference being the newer suu75 has thermal protection whereas the older rockeye does not. http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/asetds/u-s.html#_SUU75 Considering they both use the same number and same type of bomblets and the dispensers are near identical, it would be safe to say any difference you may have observed is either placebo or a bug. 1 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
