[ALREADY REPORTED] Hitting a target with an LGB

[flavnet]

Hello everybody. The "incipit" may seem strange, but it's much stranger that using the same procedure (the one indicated in the manual) in the same mission but in four different sessions: once everything goes ok and the LGB hit all targets, the second once the bombs hit nothing, the third the LGBs hit the targets and the fourth nothing. I've always followed the procedure. I think it's worth doing a little more testing. Also, the GBU54s seem to work only as JDAM.

Thanks for your kind attention.

It seems that the problem lies with the release altitude. Above 10,000 ft (roughly), there are problems with the laser pointer (apparently it does not drive as it should the bomb falling like dumb). Evidently, when I managed to hit the target, I was about 10,000 ft. altitude, while when I failed I was well above 10,000 ft. (I generally throw LGBs and JDAMs above 20,000ft). I humbly point out that it makes sense to speak of "smart bombs" if they are dropped at a minimum of 20,000 ft. I think it would be worth checking if what happens may be due to:

- a bug,

- a feature wanted by the developers (and about which I don't think I'm the only one to be against),

- my mistake in the procedure for using LGB bombs. But I have followed what is written in the manual! Therefore, it would be right to repeat the correct procedure for using the LBG with the new A-10C.

I found I had issues above 10000ft if I dropped the GBU54 while the laser was firing.

 

If I autolase for last 10-15 secs (as per GBU 12's etc) or manually lase after I drop

ordanance they worked OK.

please add a track replay so we can confirm if it is related to the current JDAM issues or something else

 

thanks

Here's a track. First run I fire the laser and the GBU-54 goes bonkers (follow it and you'll see it pitch up when laser on), second run I let it guide without laser and it hits the target.

Yes this is already reported fixed internally, will be in next open beta patch hopefully

 

thanks
