[REPORTED] Bomb salvos do not center on target


MBot

Recommended Posts

Multiple-bomb salvos are aiming the first bomb on target. This seems incorrect. In every other aircraft it is usual that bomb salvos are aimed center on the aim point (center bomb on target).

Normally most aircraft unguided bombing in Ripple Mode will use the standard convention of having the pilot place the aiming pipper in the middle of where they want the line of bombs to go. E.g. if bombing a convoy you would aim the pipper at the middle vehicle, and the bombs would start before that and end after that based upon the interval distancing parameter.

The A10C, F-16C, F/A-18C and alot of other modules in DCS perform this way including older modules as well. 

I don't have any documentation on it, but RAZBAM_Alpha Juliet mentioned in Discord it may need correcting so I'm posting a track.

To reproduce:

  • Load up many slick unguided bombs
  • Fly a normal attack approach for CCIP or CCRP
  • A/G Mode & select bombs eg Mk82
  • ACM set CCIP, Instant Fuzing, Maximum Qty, 200ft interval
  • Aim at middle of a target convoy
  • Note the bombs don't start to release until the aimpoint, whereas normal behaviour should be to release half of the bombs before the aim point with spacing based upon the interval distance

To demonstrate correct behavior, perform the same procedure with the A10, F16, or F/A-18.

Track attached.

Tactical manual mentions that in multiple AUTO release mode (and other modes) point should be placed in the middle of desired impact pattern, with odd number of bombs one of them will hit that point, with even quantity they will be spaced around it. AFAIK the fix is planned.

Already reported/acknowledged, not sure of it's priority WR to other issues/features.

maybe it's different on JF17, on french aircraft, you aim the first impact and not in the middle.

This is AV-8B Harrier forum, the aim point should be where the bomb stick is centered (not where it starts).
