dave76 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 guys at which hof/altitude do you release cbu 87 and cbu 105 ? do you release in ccip and ccrp ?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longiron Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) cbu 97 1000ft HOF or wind will drift them way off, in the A10C option is 900ft HOF. for cbu 87 HOF makes for larger pattern, like a shotgun. Edited May 30, 2023 by Longiron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave76 Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 ok i re read the chuck guide...1500 ft for cbu 87 and 2000 ft for cbu 105.........;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you asking about what altitude we drop them from the jet? In general, for CBU-105 burst altitudes, I prefer 1000ft. If it's particularly windy, 750 works too. As for release altitude of the weapon itself from the jet, that depends on what I'm dropping on. Generally, with CBU-105, I'm attacking a SAM site, because DEAD is life! That means doing pop up attacks from about 7.5-9nmi and release altitudes between 5k-9k AGL with a 25 degree loft... Hopefully ED gets the IAM loft cue fixed so we can go back to yeeting CBU-105's 12nmi again.

twistking Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 i think burst altitude is set by ground crew - not from the cockpit. until we can change cbu fuses from the rearm/fusing menu, you are advised to not touch fuse altitude in the cockpit, becuase you'll create a missmatch bewteen FCS and actual fuse setting. that's at least the last information i got. correct me, if this has changed recently.

Tholozor Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) AFAIK the WCMD dispensers (-103/-105) can interface with the aircraft on the data bus so they can configure the burst altitude (for both) and spin setting (for the -103) from the cockpit. I believe -87 and -97 are set on the canister.

I believe -87 and -97 are set on the canister. This would make a lot of sense. However i would guess, that in order to be configurable via data bus, the 103 and 105 would need to be equipped with a digital fuse that would allow that. I don't know if DCS models such a fuse, or if it uses the same fuse as on the 87 and 97... Anecdotally i can only say that i got better and more reliable effect on target when not changing the burst parameters in cockpit. Therefore i believe that the 103 and 105 use the same (manually set) fuse as the 87 and 97... I did not test this scientifically, so i could very well be wrong...

The canister flies in a fixed roll orientation (how could it fly guided spinning at 2500 RPM?) until a calculated time before burst where it spins up and then dispenses. Since this spin up is software-controlled it can be any value (0-2500 in incr. 500). There is no spin setting for CBU-104/105 and the option is blanked. The CBU-105 dispenses with pressurized gas bags to dispense the BLU-108s. I don't know how the 104 dispenses. The FZU-39 on the CBU-103/104/105 controls height of function with a fixed option wire timed release. There are wheels "A" arming and "S" spin (1-6?) on the device along with a HOF (A-K), and ECM (on/off) wheel. In any case, HOF and SPIN are not cockpit selectable except with CBU-103 because the spin is a software post-guidance-pre-dispense function. Sometimes DCS makes non-cockpit selectable stuff to be cockpit selectable and sometimes not so keep aware. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
