pepin1234 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) 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. https://t.me/mod_russia_en/11972 Edited January 17 by pepin1234 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited January 19 by pepin1234 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuva Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) 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 Edited January 19 by Skuva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I do well only with KOM. Edited January 20 by pepin1234 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

pepin1234 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 This video is a good footage. 15 degrees pitch. 800kph speed and distance seem to be 5km. Interesting -1505117794613741569.mp4 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeriaGloria Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 S-8OFP2 has an engine with 2x the power and 50% more weight.
