Bomb spacing ?

[jojo]

When you drop bombs you can can set the weapon system to single or salvo.

When you are in salvo, can you set the bomb spacing interval ?

I didn't find any way...

No way to set it.  You would just have to control spacing with speed and dive angle and release altitude.

The Mirage III Timing/spacing was 0.3 seconds (300milliseconds). Cant find a specific reference for the F1. However switcholgy in the F1 is the same.

Knowing the bomb intervelometer spacing then using the chart below you can figure the bomb spacing.

Not sure what bomb you are using, but I have found that using any chute retarded bombs, single release with button press with the start of a 3 syllable word. 

Eleven, eleven, eleven with the press on the start of each word.

Why not use SALVO with single button press and hold ?

Because more math is involved to know the spacing. 

 

Single release with multiple button presses allows me to control the spacing without the math.

Hi guys!

As it was said before, there is no way to control the release timing in salvo mode in the CE, EE and BE. In these models, the delay is always 180 ms and the spacing is controlled through the velocity at release. The M has the option to select different timings through the MFD.
