MBot Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 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).
TAIPAN_ Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 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.

Aernov Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited June 6, 2022 by Aernov 2 1
TAIPAN_ Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Seems we posted at about the same time on this. I've put up a track and steps to reproduce here: Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
Mavkruger Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 maybe it's different on JF17, on french aircraft, you aim the first impact and not in the middle.

Already reported/acknowledged, not sure of it's priority WR to other issues/features. 4 hours ago, Mavkruger said: 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). i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
AlphaJuliet Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Issue reported, thanks for the heads up lads. Cheers

" and i just said, some module have a bug, some module are ok.
