S-8OFP do lofting bombing as S-8KOM do

[pepin1234]

The only rocket that perform lofting bombing in DCS is the S-8KOM. Please improve that flight model for the rest of the Su-25 rockets, like S-8OFP and S-13, S-25 etc

see OFP in action. There are more videos of S-25 doing this job.

Why do you thing only S-8KOM?

Just try right now and you will se the differences. It’s only implemented on KOM

Already turned off. Are you talking about CCRP or manual lofting?

Se the video on Telegram from the first post. Loft bombing with rockets like in the Ukraine war

I've seen a video you have sent me. OK, you are trying to pitch up and fire missiles.

I am still not clear on why the missiles can not be used for loft bombing.

What am I missing:

- too low damage?

- no fuses working?

Note that I have serious doubts about effectivness of such bombing.

The loft bombing with S-8 work pretty well in DCS only with S-8KOM. The rest of the rockets have not same flight model, and they are barely or not at all accurate. I’m talking about the ballistic trajectory. It’s extremely different in comparison with the other similar variant S-8OFP. Please give it a try

I don't understand the problem here. Both KOM and OFP2 are being fired, flying a parable, and hitting random crops far away, like it should.

Now if you are talking about their range being different, its because the OFP2 use a newer and stronger booster.

Images for KOM <--> OFP2. From 32° pitch. the OFP2 has about +50% range, and has about +50% area covered, makes sense to me. If fired at a lower angle to hit the same distance as the KOM, it would have approx the same dispersion

I did give it a try, range differs, and they sound differently, but still what is wrong here?

Make sense. So what is your fire setup to hit a narrow area using OFP2? So far, I do well only with KOM.

I tend to agree with Tornado pilot. Have you paid attention on what he was saying?

Both UKR/RUS do this, but so far i have not seen a single drone recording showing the effects. IMHO: it's good for wood cutting, and that is pretty much it.

This weapon if used in defended area has lost it's primary purpose, it's more used as a terror weapon.

This video is a good footage. 15 degrees pitch. 800kph speed and distance seem to be 5km. Interesting

S-8OFP2 has an engine with 2x the power and 50% more weight. It will always fly differently
