Su-27/33 dumb bombing, configure ripple?

[sawin]

Hello,

I was trying out ground attack with the Su-27/33. I was wondering if there is a way to change the ripple settings for bomb drops. Right now all bombs on a given pylon and symmetricly on both sides release when using CCRP. But can I change that somehow or set the parameters? I found few key bindings that sounded like what I'm looking for but didn't seem to change anything. Also I don't speak or read russian, so I try to spot changing lights etc or numbers, but didn't find anything yet  https://192168ll.link/ .

I was just searching for this same info last night and what I came across was by default L Cntrl + V will change from dropping symmetrical pairs to dumping all bombs of the same type. The tricky part is there is no indication on the HUD or dash anywhere that you've made this setting change. As far as I know I don't believe the Flankers have the option to set the ripple timing at all.

I can't check at the moment, but I believe the HUD should show some dashed lines along the bottom representing the pylons, and should have a number above the dash for every pylon that will be released on the next pickle.  In Salvo mode, it should show multiple numbers.  IIRC the numbers only show up when the release conditions are met (e.g. CCIP pipper is hot, or trigger is held and waiting for CCRP).  You can also toggle the Launch Permission Override to force those numbers to appear so you can check the salvo setting, and then turn Launch Permission Override back off.

AFAIK the Su-27/Su-33/J-11 doesn't have a way to set the ripple or interval.

Why is this in the squadron recruiting forum?  You'd likely get better response if it were in the appropriate sub forum...
