GBU-12 & GBU-16 Ineffective?

Flying F/A-18C using both GBU-12 & GBU-16 in both campaign & Mission Qualification, both weapons hit the target spot on but failed to kill any armor vehicle. The GBU hit the target spot on but it doesn't create any explosion effect at all.

I first found out this when i was playing Serpent Head 2's Mission 9 "Laser Blazer", it failed to kill the armor vehicle on the runway, as a matter of fact, it barely killed those mortal crews too.

I'm running the latest DCS 2.8.1.34437 Open Beta dated 16th Dec 2022, anyone else has the same issue?

Please post a track and someone will likely spot what you're doing wrong.  From your initial description it (no explosion effect) it really sounds like you haven't set the fuzes on the bombs.  If you don't have fuzes set you're just dropping a big chunk of metal.

You are right Rob10, I forgot to set the efuz indeed, thanks for the heads up! Cheers

Sadly, I've been there, done that 😳🙂.  A checklist is your friend in making sure you don't miss little things like this.  Even with one I find I sometimes skip steps if I'm not paying attention.  If you're starting from ground it's worth setting things like this up before takeoff so you don't forget.  Glad you got it working!
