Release pair GBU-31 or 38 at the same time


irq11

Recommended Posts

Dear all,

I didn't find option to release pair of GBU-31 or 38 at the same time as it's possible with other bomb. it's not possible to do that with this bomb type (GPS) or just an option not implemented yet ?

press twice the release button (for the same IP), it seems to me not future situation, because the second bomb would not receive the GPS information ?

thanks by advance

This isn't a thing in the Viper. GBUs are released one at a time. If you want to put two bombs on a single target, just pickle twice. The GPS coordinates are always from the SPI, unlike in the Hornet, it's not possible to preload them into the bombs. This is a little clumsy, and it's harder to take out, say, an entire SAM site with a JSOW salvo, since you need to set the SPI (typically using markpoints or target steerpoints) between each pickle.

Yes and no

It is possible to preload GPS coordinates in the bombs in the real jet. It even has an entire page for that, however its not implemented in DCS

Hopefully it will come when they add a true DTC

Only via DTC, or could it be fat fingered in via the ICP irl?

Both, depending on the block and software version
