Bomb lofting?

[Exile5121]

Is there any way to release bombs "out of parameter" on the JF-17? EG a 20-30 degree climb?

Have you tried DTOS mode?

Does not seem to be the function of DTOS, DTOS is similar to the standby CCIP->CCRP thing you get by holding your pickle button once a target is selected

No lofting in DTOS works great, for pre planned targets you can do it in AUTO mode, I just think there’s a 30 degree attitude release limit for bombs or something

You can definitely do it in a climb. Although I do not know what the angle limit is for that mode.

Can you also do it for Tpod TOO's? - Addtl, DTOS does not seem friendly for blind lofting

Yes for TOO, just use AUTO. No need to do it blindly if you’re GPS can help you put it there:)

but can you do it blind. eg, tossing over a ridge?

It’s AUTO mode, as long as you have a coordinate it doesn’t care if there’s a hill between it and you. If you mean without coordinates then just use either CCIP or SAIU mode and drop “blind” whenever you want

SAIU placed into bomb standby, after fusing. No drop. at all - Is SAIU functional W exception of manual gun arm?

 

CCIP does not allow drops while close to the ground and nose is up.

 

 

This is specifically with GBU12's and 10's with jtac or self-lase. lofting dumb bombs is just a waste.

 

Coming from the harrier you could whip one off at 15 miles away in a 20 degree climb and 500 kts and there would be a very good kill probability

 

Thats because the CCIP on that aircraft didn't impose any limits besides -g's, I suppose.

 

Anyway - SAIU seems to not work for dropping (if you could explain what I am doing wrong or confirm its lack of functionality in current open beta it would be appreciated)

And CCIP seems to be entirely unusable for this.

 

No toss love.trk

I haven’t tested SAIU outside of guns so I don’t know if it works for bombs yet, but you should be set if you selectively jettison it and set the fuse before
