Are the glide bombs supposed to accelerate themselves past Mach 1?

[Hawkeye91]

I've noticed a couple times that when I drop the glide bombs, they accelerate to like 650 knots at very low altitudes after being dropped around 350 knots. This seems rather odd to me. Maybe its normal, but it doesn't make sense for a glide bomb to break the sound barrier without propulsion to push through the transonic drag region. I don' currently have a track, I usually just play MP.

MP saves tracks automatically,

i've noticed this too, i always wondered why that's happening

I cant vouch for how well the exact envelope is modelled for this exact weapon, but it *is* perfectly within the bounds of physics for an iron bomb to exceed the speed of sound if dropped from sufficient altitude.

have you tried the agm-154? ls6/gb6 use same scheme as agm-154

Can confirm, AGM-154 also go M 1.0 when they are about to impact.

 

It is scheme-related behavior, not just an LS-6 thing.
