El Chapo Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Hello, We noticed an issue with GBU-16 in loft bombing on the F-18: the unguided ballistics is so long (2000') that the bomb never acquires the laser spot if we try to guide it. Therefore the bomb is always long and unguided. By comparison, an unguided GBU-12 in loft bombing is approximately 700' long, and can easily be lased to its target. Self-lasing loft bombing with GBU-12 is indeed quite effective. The attached tacview track will illustrate this issue: first pass is guided GBU-12 (direct hit), second pass is unguided GBU-12 (700' long), third and fourth passes are unguided GBU-10 (2000' long, laser ont target, climb 25° and 40°), last pass is guided GBU-12 (direct hit). Tests with GBU-10 are pending. Did anyone notice this issue already? Did anyone managed to do loft bombing with GBU-16? Thanks! Test GBU-12 and GBU-16.zip.acmi Edited January 15, 2022 by El Chapo 1
El Chapo Posted January 15, 2022 Author Posted January 15, 2022 Hello, Please have a look at this topic: I hesitated between a F-18 and a weapon bug... It must come from F-18 way of computing release solution. Thanks. 1
