correct as is CCIP not working with Mk82 Snake Eye (solved)

[boerdi]

[edit]

SOLVED: go low (below 700ish feet) and fast instead of high and slow

----------

Greetings,

CCIP seems to work with regular Mk82 bombs but not with Snake Eyes

Track: patch 2.9 - mk82 snake eye ccip not working.trk

Mission file: CCIP Test Hornet.miz

Air start close to Kobuleti Cross. Three Hornet slots with different loadouts: only Mk82, only Mk82 Snake Eye and mix of both.
Track recorded with mixed loadout aiming for the center where the two runways meet.

 

No probs with Mk 82:

And whatever this is with the Snake Eyes

Snakeeyes, especially in retarded mode, basically impact straight down (to simplify things). So the Pipper cannot show you the impact point in straight and level flight, especially not at 1000ft AGL.

On top of that, they are also heavily affected by wind, which is why your pipper is more to the side than with low drag bombs.

I am aware of the wind affecting the pipper.
Pre-2.9 I could use the Snake Eyes in high drag mode without any issue with CCIP. Now I am getting no usable drop solution.

Also referring to the official training mission (how I used Snake Eyes in the past with CCIP):

Same here. Tested in  FF mode from FL20 45deg dive . No IP visible on the HUD

He's at 540Kts and ~550ft AGL and barely gets a solution. You are not only slower but also much higher. Get lower and faster and the solution should appear.

Below my attempt in 2.9

(Though I must admit that I find it weird that the minimum altitude for release thing being above looks suspicious)

@razo+r

I concur with your result and thanks for the insight!
During testing my past self flew too high and slow and I have no idea why caveman-me tested at 1k feet... because i always flew low and fast in the past

Was just back from re-testing when you posted your reply
The CCIP solution caught on just below 700 feet

I also have this issue, even when set to FF
