Anti-runway bombs training mission issues

[gulredrel]

Hello,

wanted to try the weapon training missions. Missed with the rockets, but the long firing interval is mentioned in the bug section.

Now for the anti-runway bomb training:

1. Option for the single/ripple selection. Text says set to ripple. But the instruction only continues when switching back to single:

   

2. Is the instruction text correct for the BAP-100 anti runway bombs?

Being at 1000 ft / 250 kts and the target reticle is over the targets, the parachute retarded bombs are well before the RW and nowhere near the target.

Thanks

I'm not the author of the missions but I would say the instructions should be revised.
The BAP-100 we have done is the L65, the most used variant, calibrated for release at an altitude of 65m(200ft). The L80 is calibrated for 80m(250ft) release.
According to the brochure of the constructor, the BAP-100 should be dropped in horizontal flight at very low altitude (65m) with a speed not exceeding 600kts.
So, for aircraft without a firing computer like the MB-339, mantain the higher sustainable speed and just before passing runway threshold start the release sequence.
For extended area denial, including taxiways and parkings, the best approach is crossing the center with multiple vectors.

Thanks, this low level delivery method sounds more reasonable.

Scary real picture, better only doing some virtual damage.
