Shik Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Hi All, just wanted to check and make sure I am not missing something... I have 4x GBU-38s loaded on stations 2 and 7, two per pylon and have 4 targets I want to hit in PP Mode. - For station 2 I enter two coordinates and for station 7 I enter the other two. - I set my release quantity to two by selecting station 2 and station 7. - Once in LAR, I hit pickle and release two bombs. - Now what? Select PP2, step, Select PP2, Pickle? That seems a little clunky to me... Is there a better way to get the bombs off faster? I think the main problem is that it seems like you can only have a single PP target "per pylon" rather than "per GBU". Is there any feature missing here or is it final?

Exactly. 19 hours ago, Shik said: Is there a better way to get the bombs off faster? No - as long as you load 2 JDAMs per pylon. If you need to deliver the bombs as quick as possible load one JDAM each on four stations. 19 hours ago, Shik said: I think the main problem is that it seems like you can only have a single PP target "per pylon" rather than "per GBU". That's correct as well. 19 hours ago, Shik said: Is there any feature missing here or is it final? AFAIK the current behaviour is implemented correctly, but our experts here could give a precise answer.

dorianR666 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Some say the doubled pylon should act as two separate pylons in the QTY/STEP logic. Might be just a rumor though, public availability of documentation is poor. Edited March 5, 2021 by dorianR666 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: AMD RX 580

I think the main problem is that it seems like you can only have a single PP target "per pylon" rather than "per GBU". Is there any feature missing here or is it final? It is a bit clunky, but no you can have five PP targets per pylon and two bombs per pylon. The choice is up to you after that. To drop two bombs from one pylon requires you to manually choose which PP you want for each drop, otherwise you will drop the second on the same co-ords as the first. It may seem clunky/unrealistic however I have been informed before that carrying more than one bomb per pylon is uncommon and if they do, then its not usually required to run them all off quickly. I think if multiple targets are to be hit with JDAMs in close proximity, then another platform would do this (B1 maybe?).

Shik Posted March 5, 2021 Author Posted March 5, 2021 Thanks, everyone. I fiddled around with it last night, and, while I would love to ripple 4 off super easy, ripple 2, switch to PP2 on each station, ripple 2 wasn't as onerous as I expected. 1
