reported Laser program disables for last bomb on station and delayed laser

[Kreutzberg]

I ran into a weird issue the other day. The F-15E was loaded with 4 GBU-12s on one of the CFTs. I dropped the first three, but on the last drop, the laser did not engage. I had it set to automatic lasing with lasing for the last 12 seconds (ALAS :12). Doing some further testing, I've noticed that the entire laser program disappears from the targeting pod when the last LGB on a station is dropped.  For ALAS CONT or manual lasing, that won't cause a miss because the laser either fires immediately or fires with the manual input. But for ALAS with a delay, it means that the laser never fires.

To summarize, the issue is only 1) the last LGB on a station and 2) ALAS with a delay. It's possible that this is intended behavior, but seems more like a bug. A track file is attached where I reproduced the issue on a simple bombing range.

I can confirm I had the same issue yesterday dropping my last GBU-12.

I had the same issue tonight. Will this be fixed or no?

If Razbam and ED come to an agreement on their disagreement then maybe.  If not, best case the F-15 is going to stay same as it is.

With only two LGBs on a station this issue does not appear. It seems to be limited to the 4th bomb on a station.
