=4c=Nikola Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Different retardation mechanism Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joojoo Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Thank you so much, what is the use/purpose of each bomb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomTOTEN Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Fly the training mission "High Drag Bombing" look at page 147 of the Early Access Guide (English version used for page reference). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu68 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Thank you so much, what is the use/purpose of each bomb? Generally speaking, a normal/slick bomb will travel at the speed of plane when released so they detonate as you're flying over it. The retarded bombs delay impact so If you have to do low level bombing run it wont explode beneath you and damage plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant977 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Anyone notice a useful difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokeraccio Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Anyone notice a useful difference between the two. Hi, I remember I read somewhere that the difference between the two retarding high drag systems lies on some release speed restrictions/limitations, and of course looking at them also cost per unit. But I do not know if this limitation is simulated in DCS.

Zergburger Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 the mk82 AIR is generally more flexible as you can drop it in a slick config, and it is pilot configurable. The Snake-eye can only drop high drag, but it is a cheaper and more reliable system since you are relying on a spring instead of a pyrotechnic inflation. The MK82AIR is also cleared to higher mach, the mk82SE is limited to ~550kts and i forget what mach; i am certain it is lower though. If i had to speculate the drag index of an SE is probably higher as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomTOTEN Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The Snake-eye can only drop high drag. The F-16 in DCS can drop them slick, but the F-5E-3 cannot. Not sure which one should be getting a bug report here.:music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
