CBU-87 Damage against soft targets

[TheGhostOfDefi]

Hello,

I tried a bit around with the CBU-87 in the Strike Eagle. I engaged Mortar site (Group premade in editor) and the damage is marginal. Meanwhile CBU-97 is very effektive as well are MK-82´s. Normaly i would expect the CBU-87 to work formidably against soft targets like infantry in the open. Especialy since they have frag sleeve they should saturate this area with shrapnels and i think this could be the Problem: DCS isnt really handling shrapnels. 

Now anyway a workaround would be nice. 

I attach a track and the mission itself for everyone to try themself.

In the Track i didnt put the carpet in a straight line so latter targets could survive that but espeacily the most front ones shouldnt in my opinion. I used 900 ft Fuzing altitude.

Something is definitely lacking with the -87/Rockeye/JSOW submunitions. They utterly fail to destroy unarmored land rovers or even infantry.

This seems to have been an issue for ages. until something is done to improve the submunitions, the -87, -103, mk20, and JSOW are essentially paper weights.
